So problem as everyone else here.
Such a same for those of us with a rift since going back to a monitor is worse then not playing at all (for me atleast).

You can have multiple bindings saved. All you have to do is make a copy of you custom.binds file in "C:\Users\"UserName"\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings" Rename it to something else and it will show up the the bindings menu ingame as a option from the drop down menu (found this out by accident when manually adding the <HyperSuperCombination> and <Supercruise> in Beta 3.9 since it gave me an error at the time saying they where missing and I made a copy of the file before editing it and it suddenly showed up as a drop down option)
I went back to a monitor btw. I get eye strain from the Rift after more than a few hours anyway. It seems kind-of out of focus in ED. It's OK on other stuff strangely enough.
Of all the Rift games, this is by far the best experience I've had with it. I started out on triple screens, now they're gone and replaced by a single screen to compliment the rift.
Don't think I'd even enjoy going back to triples, let alone one screen for ED.
Hope they can fix the current bug soon as this is the one game that really proves VR is the way forward for gaming.

I am going a lil crazy inside. I was having the greatest time in gamma 1.00 was in a awesome battle and killed the bad guy, bounty was 10k i shouted woooo hoooooo. updated which was quick (only a few mins) and now i cant play anymore. It is showing me what an impressive and rich experience this game is with the OR, after not playing for a day now i am hurting to get back into my spaceship. Please please devs we need a patch, i know you want to fix as many things as you can per upgrade.
I wonder how much of the FRONTIER staff use the OR?

Exactly the situation I'm in. TrackIR rig is back in its packaging headed for craigslist.
Reading all these comments about not being able to play without the Rift it occurred to me that the thought of going old school with my 24 inch monitor (Woohoo!) never even entered my mind as an option. I've been waiting patiently for the update and now am actually surprised we haven't got it yet - given how quickly the FD crew have been smashing bugs. I've no doubt it's a priority though - along with a lot of other little issues lol.
Its actually quite easy to save and restore multiple bindings for controls, graphics, audio etc.
You'll find control (Bindings), graphics and audio settings here 'C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options'.
Simply make a back up of the entire folder or specific sub-folders and place them somewhere safe. I normally zip them up and give it a specific file name - e.g. 'Elite_Options_Occulus_2014.11.25'. You can then adjust the settings in Elite to create a new 'configuration', once happy, copy the Options folder again, zip it and give it a new name. When you want to switch bindings just copy the actual data from your back up over the Elite options. I don't recommended simply replacing the entire 'Options' folder since there are some bindings in their that don't make sense to change, e.g 'Developer' and 'Player'.
There are additional options here '<Install location>\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1002', things like appConfig.xml ( can be used to create a second window to display rift on screen as a single view and without chromatic distortions, sadly last time i checked the view was still distorted - there is a thread on the forums that describe the process), 'ControlSchemes' ( useful to see what the defaults are), OptionDefaults (low, med, high options with preset settings, was able to make my own occulus preset, but the name doesn't come up in Elite dropdown)
Its really easy to use these settings to change bindings, just make sure to back up anything you plan on changing first.
edit: Oh and on topic, yeah playing without the DK2 just feels so wrong now. Looking forward to this issue getting a quick fix.

Yep, I have a triple screen setup but I have no desire to use it for E : D. DK2 Hotfix please Frontier.
Well, I for one, remember the "compelling" experience, before I got my DK2. Problem is, as humans, it's hard for us to go back to great when we've had awesome. It's like watching a great movie or being IN a great movie, once you've experienced it, you just can't go back.
I couldn't help it and played for about 3.5hrs tonight in my DK2. The right eye problem was there but I just dealt with it. I don't know if it was like this before, but direct mode worked perfectly. I found this out by accident because I had switched to direct mode to play iRacing and forgot to go to extended before launching E: D. All was well though and it works great, buttery smooth even in stations. I hope whatever fix they do next does not break direct mode!
Not with me. Apart of framerate issues, the problem with the right eye is still there in direct mode.
Yeah, I played in direct but the right eye problem was still there, I just forced myself to ignore it best I could. What I did like though was that the judder I had in port playing in extended was all but gone in direct. That, and just as I see in other games using direct, my GPU barely breaks a sweat compared to monitor or extended work. I never went over 51c with my 7970 tonight and the norm for it is about 63c when playing on a monitor or in direct mode. WIN.
So i understand correct: direct mode still has the black right eye but 60fps lock is gone and low persistence works? That would be awesome!
Huh, I wish Direct mode worked that well for me. Direct mode does work for me, but gives far less performance than extended.
I have to turn everything to as low as possible to get it working smooth in Direct and even then there are bits of judder here and there. But in Extended it runs at a perfect 75fps with everything up max apart from shadows.
Running on a single GTX 980.

I really thought by now they would have fixed it... Maybe they're future proofing the code for the secret CV1
