Tried most of them.. Will uninstall runtime later and see, but it still would solve the stereoscopic rendering issue... This one needs proper patch to fix I think.

OK some more feedback for you all,

had a chance to play some more at home on me gaming PC now.

Change my mind about the weight, it does feel a bit heavier than DK1

there are two modes, direct and desktop (like old dk1) in desktop you set the refresh in the display drivers as per normal. think direct defaults to 75? at 75hz in tuscany and with the other new desk demo included everything is lovely and clear. Again res is fine, can read windows desktop text fine so ED menus etc are going to be no problem. as some others have commented on reddit, chromatic aberration does seem worse than DK1 im guessing due to pentile arrangement, or maybe the optics and this is not good enough for consumer version, also horizontal field of view is smaller, need to try the other lenses inc in box yet but i am asuming that ones attached when unboxing are 'A''s so should be the best FOV.

EDIT: re FOV, just tried radial G in extended window, Horizontal FOV was much better and seemed more than DK1, so the limited FOV must be a setting issue/direct mode issue.

positional tracking dosent seem right at the minute, feels reversed ie lean forward and camera moves backwards. this was the same on my work PC. cant see anything obvious that is causing that.

fiddled around and got vr cinema working (without head tracking), video is MUCH MUCH better to watch but still needs more res for me to sit through a film and TBH with the weight and heat it will take at least CV1 (hopefully) before i would use a rift over my projector set up for movies.

EDIT: havnt tried ED yet, from all the other feedback i gather it dosent work properly yet which is what i was expecting. DK2 update with Beta pleeeeessseee frontier :)

thats all i can think of for the minute, any Q's please ask.

a poor substitute but watching some 1080p oculus vids of ED on youtube, the blacks on the new OLED are way better which makes space look so much nicer.

From this thread on reddit, it looks like E:D will need a recompile with the new SDK before it will work and track properly.

If frontier is having issues with cockpit clipping, I recommend edge fade to black or blur when mesh collision occurs from the users head with the canopy or other surfaces. This will help with the clipping people got when looking behind do them with dk1 and with new positional tracking induced clipping with dk2.

Technolust and Loading Human are both going to be DK2 ready and will be out in the near future (technolust is available now for kickstarter backers)

True Black Smearing in DK2?

Not sure if this is possibly going to be an issue in E:D, but space is a big black nothing, hopefully not completely black as that seems to cause some issues:

One other note: The true black smearing does seem to be a legitimate issue, while pretty minor from what I've seen so far. When I was looking up at the dimly lit wooden ceiling beams inside the Villa, as I moved my head around it looked like the shadows were moving around in a really strange manner. After a couple seconds I put two and two together and realized it's the deep black smearing a little bit. Or at least I think so. But it only seems to happen with very dark shadows. It just stands out when everything else is so crisp and clean.

Anyone with previous OR or DK2 experience care to comment?

So has the batch shipping finished?
Anyone in Australia get one?
Or was our country simply ignored altogether and only Europe and North America were shipped out?

I read on the OR site that you guys down under may get shipped next week due to "difficulty". No idea what.

So, I may have missed it, but has Frontier said anything about the smearing issue for Elite Dangerous since it's kind of a big deal, with much of space being black and all.

One guy managed to play it with DK2, he says the following:

Magic workaround check (full positional and correct distortion)! And the inky blackness is something to behold. Seems majority black versus not a lot of white = no smear.
