Looks like its the beginning of the end for DK2 - Judders now like an old dog. Anyone else had this joy with the latest update from Oculus?

You can't stay on 1.3 as it autoupdates. Remember that the DK1 and DK2 are exactly that ... development kits and were never designed to be consumer models. Hence it kinda makes sense for Oculus to be supporting their first consumer model CV1. I do feel for your loss, but can fully recommend the Rift ... just amazing tech.

Managed to sell my DK2 on eBay last week. Sounds like perfect timing. Lost next to nothing on it from what it cost new last year.

For some reason - Farlands has been unplayable in the DK2 since the 2nd last update. Resolution down to 320x200 levels.

I think it's deliberate - a way to phase the DK2 out completely and get people spending.

Are you playing in beta, or 2.0? Both? If so, any difference? What gpu are you using? If Nvidia, they just released another driver.

I think you're right though. The dk2's days are numbered, as far as Oculus support, and it's probably coming up fast.
However, I doubt they're phasing it out now, since they've fnuckered the cv1 launch with late shipments and know many of those orders are ppl with dk2's.

Played yesterday night after the 2.1 update with my DK2 (1.4 runtime) and everything was ok.
Only the text was a bit softer than before but I have still to check if all settings are the same than before.

Hmm I'm on 1.4 and it runs fine for a little bit then slows then crashes using the DK2

Then sometimes I have to repair the OR drivers..

Still smooth here with dk2, 2.1 and runtime 1.4. Only difference like a few other mentioned is softer text in the menus

Performance wise it's no difference to me but I was really hoping that the BLACK SMEARING when I turn my head and funky low qual colors (seen on nebulaes for ex) would be fixed in 2.1.!!
Oh well my break from ED continues : (
I'll be keeping my eye for updates if ever there is solution for that....and no don't tell me to increase the gamma that is even worse does not feel like space.

Warthunder works fantastic on DK2 (perfomance and graphics), so I'll get busy on that in the meantime.

Interestingly enough I get gradually degrading performance over time on my DK2, starts out fine but after about 45 minutes I get the Oculus egg timer popping up a lot and complete stalls of E D. this has only come about with 2.1..

You can stop the Oculus service communicating with Oculus/Facebook servers (and presumably auto-updating) by adding this Windows firewall rule:

Block these IP ranges:
179.60.192.2 to 179.60.192.255
31.13.86.1 to 31.13.86.255
66.220.144.0 to 66.220.159.255
69.63.176.0 to 69.63.191.255
204.15.20.0 to 204.15.23.255

These IP addresses:
31.13.90.1
31.13.90.2
31.13.90.50
179.60.192.2
179.60.192.50
31.13.86.8
31.13.93.36

You'll get an error message about not being able to connect to Oculus Home, which isn't an issue unless you actually use it (my DK2 continues to work OK), and I guess Facebook itself wont work either.

Also, I can't be certain they won't change the IP addresses in the future (the Oculus service uses DNS queries), and if you're already on 1.4 it might not be possible to go back to 1.3 (I've never been on 1.4).

If you experience issues, just disable the rule.

I too have been having this same issue. after anywhere from 30-40 min of play it will just start to lag hard then freeze up. a few times I have to restart the system cause the rift froze up. I wasn't able to play any of the beta but I can say this didn't start happening till 2.1

Yes! I had this in beta also but only the once, which was the longest time I played the beta for so at that point didn't know if it was just an anomaly.

Me too.

Since 2.1.02., I can no longer log into the game with OR ... :-/

I am going to makle a ruckus if they don't resolve this, it's about a few hundred euros investment into ED sum total :-/
