Devs... It's time for a Rift update (please)
- Thread starter SlackR
- Start date
Well, it's sad but they're not answering any 1.3 VR related questions. And I've not seen them answer any other VR questions about the future of ED and VR other than what David Braben said in that video lately.
I could be wrong and missed something but it's still sad they don't answer questions. Just a little line like: "Hey all you VR players, you're still on our radar", would go a long way.

Yeah it's a little disappointing. It's not like we need a full report and they take time to answer other questions.
Sounds like the new SDK would be worth them upgrading to.
Not communicating creates an atmosphere of doubt. Not something you'd want your early adaptor crowd to be in.
That is really it!
I'm a huge supporter of VR and Fdev but seriously getting unanswered questions about VR state and seeing other questions getting answers is really upsetting right now....
Euro truck simulator got sdk6 updated 3 days after the oculus release of sdk6. It's a released game like Elite and users reported really good performance since the sdk6 implementation.
A simple answer like : "we will implement sdk 6" or "no we won't implement sdk 6" is far better than a wall of silence... from a kickstarted game
I must agree too. The lack of communication is really disapointing. Elite sales is doing well, and I'm sure there is a lot of users with the rift that bought Elite just because of the VR implementation.
I don't understand why they are ignoring this forum section. Seriously, it's not difficult to give us at least an answer about this.
They never mention VR in the dev post. Seem like they don't care about this, while Elite is considered the best game for VR. Really a bad move, VR is the future and will bring more and more players, and a good implementation is capital for Elite to stay in the top VR game.
I'm now terrified to discover that there will be no change in powerplay for the rift. Because for me, no information = no change.
It's not just the VR forum. They're ignoring VR questions everywhere.
The best assumption you can make is indeed "no information = no change", everything else comes down to speculation.
We, or at least I, don't ask for much, not even confirmation of working on SDK 0.6, just a sign that VR is still on the roadmap (as promised) and actively worked on. Or not, that's ok too (I'd be really disappointed though). Just let us know.
You mean, like this sticky thread at the top of the VR forum?
How about this sticky thread at the top of the VR forum?
Nothing except this sticky thread at the top of the VR forum, right?
Since for some reason, stickies seem not to be visible or clicky for many posters, here's what it says:

I didn't have a dev turn up on my doorstep, blowing a trumpet & reading a list of VR improvements from a scroll. Hence, they're ignoring the VR community and denying that 0.6 even exists. It's a travesty fuelled by capitalism and greed.
Oh wait, what's this sticky post pinned to the top of the VR forum?

Telling us something is not working is a little different from explaining where they are at and where they are going no?
1. Will new SDK be available for POWERPLAY?
2. Will we see any tweaks in 1.3?
3. How do they plan on tackling the extra text in VR?
4. Are they actively working on VR at all?
I can only asume you are being sarcastic because the sticky tells us nothing...
And besides... I said please

I agree that it would be nice to get more info on VR, but remember it is a dev kit after all. They have absolutely no obligation to support DK2, that said I expect 1.3 at least compatible with 0.6 SDK as I think a rather significant portion of DK2 owners play ED (not a tiny number). We'll find out in 3 days, you can chill until then.
