ITS Arrived!!

Enjoy a very late night lol. Reccommend you follow the DK2 guide, it takes a little while to set up, but oh boy when you hit the sweet spot!
 
Oh and one other thing - get hold of the GUI colour changer, the standard colours just don't look right to me in the rift - Green display is my recommendation, but it's a personal thing.
 
yeh ive gone over the setting up thread a few times. Im not expecting perfection but if ppl are dumping 3 screen ultra eyefinity for the dk2 then i made the right choice. Not tried any VR yet, is it really like your sat in the chair?

Once you get it set up sensibly, and manage to ignore the terrible "screen door" effect, it's pretty close. The 1:1 head tracking will be a revelation when you get into combat.. enjoy :)

I keep seeing people say this but mine was a breeze. Install the Oculus software, configure the rift for me (IPD settings, mainly) spark up Elite, switch it over to the Rift (secondary) display and Bingo!

The guides help you improve the visuals, using SweetFX, Nvidia settings, config files and so on to look a LOT better than a standard setup. Highly Recommended!
 
avid gamer with my own custom build, i know most of the tricks to getting the best out of my build. dk2 and VR is totally new to me so any help welcome. Im sure ill be searching or asking before the nights up ^_^

Are you back yet!
On a side note expect the unexpected last month kb/m (wireless) stopped so got another one fine, tonight new one stopped, tried wired mouse no joy. Unplugged all with a hard restart! few! back up and running now, just wondering what the Rift is doing to my USB and motherboard?

Always run a powered USB2 hub (not usb3) when using the DK2.
 
Everything rift wise is into separate m/b usb2s the other ancillaries are on an unpowered usb2, but this time the front usb3s (used for hotas) stopped too. Strange happenings.
 
3hrs of VR! Abit late for a full on wall of text. First impressions. I sat in my T7 just going to surface and back to hanger for about 30mins absolutely gobsmacked at what i was seeing. Its true, you have to see it. No words or video are close, it really is absolutely amazing. If your playing on a monitor your seeing abt 20% of the game compared to VR. And the virtigo when you come in to land OMG. moooore!!!!!

This man has been bit... I am personally excited for you. I have gotten two of my in-game friends to purchase DK2s in the last month... it really is a completely different game in VR.

Make sure you are running sweetfx too... I would personally run my settings file (of course, right? :) )
 
Not even changed colors, got it running @ 75fps constant on med settings. ill fine tune over the next few days... what a blast!!!
