THX this works for me!
Hope they finally get direct mode working properly without framelock at 60fps and no low persistence.. that would be so great

The glitch with SLI an the Side By Side Picture in VR is fixed by changing the Primary "Selected" in the Right Click on desktop -> Screen Resolution -> Make this my Main Display Menu (pick the Rift, or if the Rift is already primary, pick your monitor.) Making thr Rift Primary doesn't have to stay permanent as a reboot will force you to change Primary again. It seems something about the driver broke VR from initial boot for the Rift settings in ED. (If you look at the Graphics Options and have the Rift selected upon booting up without cycling Primary monitors, the Refresh rate and a few other options are RED instead of White. Once you swap Primary to which ever it wasn't from bootup, and select the Rift from the selection in the Graphics Options in Elite, the options for Refresh rate and such are White again and that's when you know it will work once you hit apply.

I do hope this is fixed in the next update/driver release of course, but for now, once you get the process down, it really isn't that hard to swap around an get it working normally. Once you have it working, the game looks and runs great with this driver.

A no go for me ... sure i can run it in direct mode, but i don't want to. It's working in direct mode with the old and this newest driver, but it's been told by Frontier Dev, that this is a first try, to get it working. You can tell it's not fully
supported yet, because i can only select 1920x1080 (or interlaced) as highest resolution and only with 60 hz. But in extended mode (not working anymore with v347.09), on secondary screen with v344.75 i run the DK2 with 75hz and 2560x1440 (supersampling), which is definitely superior over the lower possible options of the first implementation of the direct mode, at least for me noticing by trying both modes. Surely direct mode is easier to start and setup, but i don't want to use it yet with those limited hz and res conditions.

direct to hmd fixed it for me, although the difference in 60 hz is very noticeable to me at least i can play again, anyone know if a fix is coming from frontier or nvidia for this?

Can confirm, 347.09 breaks Oculus into SBS mode with head tracking, causing each eye to see the screen individually. Re-installing previous drivers resolves issue. Awaiting fix from nVidia. Those with an Oculus are advised to install 344.75 drivers until the issue is resolved.

hey Tanman, just follow these instructions:

Option 1: Roll Back To Your Previous Driver:

If you installed your current driver without first uninstalling the previous version, you can simply roll back your driver to the previous version using these steps:

Windows XP steps to roll back your driver:

Click Start
Click Control Panel
Click Performance and Maintenance and then System (in Category view) or System (in Classic view)
Select the Hardware Tab
Click Device Manager
Double-click on Display Adapters
Double-click on your NVIDIA GPU
Select the Driver Tab
Click on Roll Back Driver
Windows Vista or Windows 7 steps to roll back your driver:
Click Start
Click Control Panel
Windows Vista: Click System and Maintenance and then System or simply System (in Classic view). Windows 7: Click System and Security and then System.
In the left pane, click Device Manager
Double-click on Display Adapters
Double-click on your NVIDIA GPU

Are you getting more then 37.5 fps? (use ctrl-f to check, it should show up on the monitor when in direct mode)...

does anyone know how to set it up for 75 hz? I prefer direct to hmd mode but the picture seems strange without the 75 hz.

This driver also kills 3d bluray play as well .

a clean install of old drivers didn't seem to clear the problem .
I used Display Driver Uninstall (DDU) to completly remove the driver , installed 344.75 and everything is now good.

Glad I found this; I wanted to demo the ED with Oculus to a friend and got the nice bug for the NVidia 347.09. I temporary switched to Direct HMD but that jutter is so extreme that I cannot bear to play it. Luckily rolling back drivers with NVidia is easy if you don't uninstall the old driver. Just go to your device manager, select yoru display adapters and on the driver tab select "roll back driver" to go back a version.

Much better again. Still I don't understand why the direct HMD oculus mode really is so much worse than the the secondary screen. In the Tuscany demo and the demo screen it is the reverse (there direct HMD mode is much better).

has anyone been following the news on the nvidia front? is there an ETA when the next drivers will be out, and if so, whether this is likely to be fixed?
