DK2 & GTX 980 problem

[blahblah]

Hoping someone on here can help. Can't get my dk2 to work on ED - Game will just not detect it when I start - have tried setting as primary and secondary screen.

Using the 5.0 runtime (have tried 6 & 8 as well but no luck) with a GTX 980. Is anyone running with a 980 with no problems - could you post your settings and what Geforce driver you're using?

I assume all other VR games and demos work ok?

I never had an Nvidia driver not work with Oculus although some have better performance.

I don't know how much use this will be to you. I've got a DK2 and a GTX980 but because I'm not that good with computers I use a very chewing-gum-and-sticky-tape way of getting my Rift to work.

I do keep my graphics driver up to date. I'm currently using 361.43

I've never touched the Rift's software for a long time and I stuck with windows 8 in case something... bad happens



I've been told that what I'm doing doesn't really help, but I've got my rift working and even if what I go through isn't making any difference, the fact that it "feels" like it does is good enough for me. I use the Rift in extended mode but as my primary monitor. When I press the "off" button on the headset, my picture returns to my monitor.

This means that when I want to play Elite, I start the launcher, I switch on my Rift. And then I hit "return" on my keyboard. The "play" button is too far down the bottom of the window to click with the mouse.

Might be obvious... but you tried "secondary" and "primary" monitor, but did you tell it to use the HND (with or without speakers)? You have to select that before the RIFT will be active.
