ED and the Oculus Rift Developers Kit 2 (DK2) Discussion Thread

Text is hard to read (more blurred) at the moment in my default seating position. But you can lean in.

This means again it is very hard to compare because it depends on your seated setup. Some users lean back then reset the Oculus view so they always have a slightly zoomed ui view. Others lean in when they want to read something.

Because the image is stretched over your vision you will see the pentile pixels much easier than on a monitor with a similar res.

After a couple of hours testing I find this picture typical of what I'm seeing.
Before I make remarks my camera tracking is not working (AMD Risc set)and F12 don't work. At one point I had slewed sitting 180° out of phase to the in game seat having to look backwards to see the menu.
Judder. A little but no effect to game play
Chromatic Ab. Must be precise in headset positioning to sweatspot.
Gpu use . Less than HD TV (not even lukewarm)
Graphics. Barn door effect, reticule and targeting highlighters kill any graphics on small ships.
Cockpit. Wow
Text. Readable
Scanner. Much much better than hoped (don't need too much as tracking gives more FOV.
FOV. Ample

Questions is the LOD FD create being lost. Having seen on HD 3D TV no detail is lost? Will 4K plus minimal pixel separation be achievable.

TL : DR glad I didn't buy the DK1, DK2 "just" hits it.
 
I'm having a issue that I can't formulate thus not search for:

You know when in cartoons they hit some head on the side and the character goes boiiing left right left right... thats ED in my DK2 when I rotate my head.

It's not a performance problem or bug, it's like the Frontier guys tries to fix the ghosting but it just makes the whole thing worse!

Any fix?

What you describe sounds like what most people refer to as Judder.

I've noticed it too and from what I've read, most seem to agree that it's related to framerates not constantly reaching 75 FPS.

Try lowering your GFX settings.

Back from Bruges and headed straight to Freeport, whizzing through the asteroid belt... Damn I missed my Viper! :)

Heading up to see my folks tomorrow with the DK2 in tow... Ready for Fantasticon. Hope to see you guys there :)
 
Anyone go back to 0.4.0 for this game? I didn't check FPS but with 0.4.1 there was a lot more judder and "yuck" in my brain, dropped back to 0.4.0 and things seem much smoother...

I have a 2500k and 660ti...

Yup same problem I had, low settings make it less juddery, but still getting the split image/ double image/ ghosting.

On a sidenote: Apparently almost everyone except very few exceptions here ordered in the early morning hours. That is: Unless quite a few people missed the part where it said to use 24h times. ;)

That'll be because a lot of people on these boards are not in the US, and all those times are in PDT - which is what the Oculus website uses for tracking orders.

It's a global community and someone decided to standardise on the PDT time zone for consistency. I think most entries were originally copy and paste from the order confirmation, then there was a one off time and date converted to a consistent format including time zone. Since then people have probably just been entering by hand but I think that is still the minority.
 
FPS difference when using Oculus Rift?

Firstly, apologies if this has already been asked.

I was thinking, as I plan to get an Oculus Rift DK2 in the near future, if I am getting 60fps on high settings at the moment through my monitor, what can expect to get when i plug in the rift?

My hardware specs are below
AMD 7950 OC Sapphire
intel core i7-3770 3.4Ghz
16GB RAM

I ask as while i have seen one or two people say they have struggled to maintain 75fps using a 7950, but my GPU is hardly being taxed at all. somewhere in the region of 50% usage average (according to MSI afterburner).

Can anyone share their own experiences?
 
Got mine last Tuesday and rocks! :)

Has anyone had any luck tracking a DK2 delivery from the Oculus shipping confirmation email.

The mail includes a link that takes me to the US UPS site. I'm in the UK. It fills in an 18 digit reference but won't find any parcel for that reference. I tried the same reference in the UK UPS site and that didn't work either. I received the shipping email last night. Anybody been able to track it?
 
Is it just me, or are there FAR fewer people (certainly in the cross section of this forum) who are being told about the next batch, compared to the previous batch?

Seems like only 2 or 3 this time around. Last batch had so many, the list got pruned.

Wondering if that is reflective of this forum's orders, or whether the Oculus batch isn't so big this time.
 
UPS suck - you may well even get the Rift before it shows on the tracking page!

Cheers. It's actually popped up now. So in case it helps anyone else that was within 24 hours of getting the shipping email and the provided tracking reference worked on both the US and UK UPS websites.
 
Who´s playing with the Oculus Rift?

Do you play exlusively with it? Or does it get exhausting after a while?

I just ordered one, and now i just cant get myself to play. My 3 27" lcds seem from the stone age compared haha and i want to keep everything fresh for when the OR arrives.
