How to use the DK2 with latest 2.0.7 patch? Which runtime?

[Viajero]

Apologies for the very basic question but I have been using a 3 screen set up for quite some time now and I am a bit out of touch with the latest re Oculus.

The latest patch mentions a 1.3 SDK, but when I go to the Oculus page I only see the 0.8 beta as the latest sdk. Does this mean the 1.3 is still pending official release?

Will the DK2 work in Elite with 0.8?
Does the 0.8 make the game work in direct mode or do we still have to use extended?
For 2.0.7 do we just install 0.8 and then run Elite as usual?
Anything else specific we need to do differently?

SDK 1.3 is to be released on Monday 28th March. For now you can use SDK 0.8 to run ED with your DK2 - but you will need to install steamVR.
There is a link on this forum with instructions for setting up SDK 0.8 and steamVR https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=220614

SDK 0.8 works in direct mode

Wait for Monday and 1.3 to drop.

Thanks, yes. Managed to make my DK2 work with the 0.8 and SteamVR. Although even with my gtx980 I had some judder at stations and asteroid rings...

Will see Monday!
