DK2 View tilted (Oculus 1.3)

Has anyone else seen this happen with the Oculus (using 1.3), where the view will be slightly tilted depending on whether or not you look to the sides and then look forward?

I've seen it in a couple of other games with my dk2, and a few threads about it happening to the cv1 also. The last mention I saw was that Oculus was aware of it and was working on it, but that was over a month ago.

My recent excursions in the beta made it seem more pronounced. What I found is if I look to my left I can see the view slightly dip over a short period of time, then when I face forward the view is tilted in that direction. The same happens if I view to the right. To "level" the view I have to look to the left or right for a couple moments depending on how the view is tilted.

I've only tried this in the corvette, T9, and Cutter, so I can't confirm this happens in other ships.

If anyone has found a fix, I'd much appreciate learning of it. At this time ED is unplayable in VR, but again I'm certain this is an Oculus issue.

Thanks.

I think I know what you mean. When you look to too far to the side it's black, almost like you are looking off screen
I had that numerous times, it was always down to a SteamVR update

Yeah now you come to mention it I've noticed that as well..

Although I might have been slightly drunk at the time.

But, yes I have experienced it as well.
 
You're mention of steamvr makes me wonder if that had something to do with it. I don't recall it occurring until recently, and I've been playing games on steam lately, hence I don't have it shut off like I normally do.

I'll try it tonight with steam turned off, with different shots, and in non beta play. Else, I'll see if I can get some video of it.
 
Below is a video (I apologize for the quality) of what I am talking about. It may look like I'm tilting the rift, but I kept it at the same level and angle the whole time. The effect is more pronounced by the end of the video. Also notice that when I look fore of the ship that it starts to slightly "level" the tilt. Note: I was not touching any controls, tilting happens regardless of changing graphics options.

I tried it out in other ships, and the same thing happened. What I did notice, is that it did not happen right away. After about a half hour of playing the tilting starts becomes more obvious, and also the HMD view starts jumping position where I have to frequently reset it.

I did try it out in normal game mode, and the tilting was not occurring (I only played for about 10 minutes though). However, when I would look to either side, I had the vague sensation that the image was almost drifting, but only very slightly. Lastly, I did play with Steam shut off.
