But i DO have to deinstall the assistant first for installing 0.5.01? Or was that referred to the 0.8?

But i DO have to deinstall the assistant first for installing 0.5.01? Or was that referred to the 0.8?
yes you need to deinstall the assistant before you install any oculus driver. just make sure you have dk2 mode set first. The USB driver that the deepoon assistant installs is the "deepoon application device" this replaces the "Rift DK2 Sensor USB" but i think even if you uninstall the assistant that usb driver sticks around and is then used by oculus drivers.
its in the faq here: http://bbs.deepoon.com/read.php?tid=120&fid=15 - just set chrome to translate
The deepoon assistant right now contains a 0.6 oculus driver, they have created some type of wrapper around oculus or linked against it thats why you cant run oculus + the assistant at the same time.
I run ED in win8.1 with deepoon assistant which contains oculus 0.6. - for my radeon 7970 i need to set to low to get a high enough framerate for that virtual "presence" to really set in. for vr framerate is everything!
its fairly easy to see where to put the player height and IPD adjust despite the chinese.
then i dual boot into win10 with oculus 0.8 for things like vrdesktop and alien isolation.
im happy with the E2, its stopped me wanting to drop a ton of money on a vive or a rift. this is enough for me until the second generation of hmd's come around with 4k panels and foveated rendering or whatever comes along.

Thank you, much appreciated and repped. [up]
I'm very looking forward to getting my hands on it.
And letting Chrome translate that into German made my day, laughed way too hard at that... [big grin]
Perhaps better to translate in english...
Again, thank you very much, i think i have enough info's now to get me started.
Regarding Performance:
I got a Phenom II X4 920, oced to 4x3,43 ghz, 8GB RAM and a Sapphire Nitro R390 8GB.
Running triple mon in eyefinity atm, so 5760x1080, mostly high details except planetary, FPS locked to 60.
Theoretically VR should be running better resolution-wise, but i doubt it will.
I'll just have to wait 2 or 3 three weeks...
I successfully downloaded the SW. I'm using vorpx and call of duty. After one or 2 minutes the deepoon screen freeze. Need computer restart. If I'm closing the deepoon SW before starting vorpx it give me to play about 10 minutes then freezes. I'm using i5-4590 cpu @3.3 ghz 8 g ram Windows 7 64 bits. GTX 970. In the last time freezing I get the error- public tcid:184145-64681
I'm using the original 0.6 from deepoon SW.

most likely its a bug in the 0.6 oculus drivers in the deepoon assistant. you would need to set it to dk2 mode then remove the assistant then try oculus 0.8 or wait until 28th and install oculus 1.0.
Thanks. It didn't work. Just make it worst. Now after open vorpx and open the game call of duty crash immediately.
have you tried an older version of the runtime, like 0.5.01 beta? not quite sure, but i think it was the last official supported version relating to ED. the 0.8 works only on win 10, in combination with steam vr. that's what i read, at least... hoping that, on CV1release (28 march) it will work better...
Thanks my friend I'll try to do that.
if vorpx doesnt work and your using oculus 0.7 or 0.8 then the most reliable way to run non native vr games is using vrdesktop http://www.vrdesktop.net/ this is pretty certain to work, it will be more like watching a great big floating cinema screen in the hmd.
yes it works just fine, you need to remove the rift dk2 usb sensor and install the deepoon application device driver then its just a dk2. you get the full oculus home store etc, have been playing luckys tale. (free!)
bought adr1ft on steam and wow, played 3 hours straight amazing and so smoooth.

Do you suffer from the black smearing like the DK2 does?
yes, i dont really notice it much and its not something i would class as an issue.
How long did gearbest take to ship the VR headset? Want to order but their customer service seems terribad.
Im located in US so trying to get a gauge.

riding the wave of E2 hype here, what are the exact steps you took to get 1.3/oculus home working? Just wondering if my setup is wonky due to OS (Win8.1 x64) or other factors.
Also, I just have to say that you're hands-down the best english-language resource for this device online haha
only ever ordered from them twice and they have delivered ok each time within a few weeks. im sure if it all went wrong it could be a pain.
didnt really do anything special, just removed 0.8 then installed 1.3. You need to go into device manager and make sure the USB "deepoon application device" is installed, sometimes the oculus usb driver can take its place.
also be sure the e2 is in dk2 mode. other problems could be related to video driver versions? someone mentioned the very latest nvidia drivers had a problem, dont know tho cos im using radeon 390.
just about everything seems to work fine under 1.3, elite has an issue where the colours are all washed out. if i run elite through steamvr with oculus 0.8 the colour is great.
actually the more i read the more i think this is related to the e2 not having motion tracking. it seems when the oculus drivers sense the camera is out of bounds or not present in elite something happens to grey out the display? maybe steamvr being an overlay API is maybe putting in some fake camera coordinates or something?.
im hoping when steamvr is updated to work with 1.3 it will all play nicely again.
looks like steamvr now supports 1.3:
