Need a step by step guide on setting up!

Please can someone give me a step by step guide on how to play Horizons (non steam) with my DK2 on Windows 10 x64?

Thanks
 
1. Install Steam.
2. Install SteamVR
3. When SteamVR is installed, in the Steam Library select tools. Right click on the installed SteamVR and select properties. Select the BETAS tab and opt into the beta update.
4. After the SteamVR beta update has installed you should be good to run SteamVR and do the setup. This is mainly for the Vive but some of it is required, (if I have remembered correctly)

You can now close the Steam window and use the ED Launcher to start the game. You do not have to run SteamVR it starts automatically.
The game will also run on your monitor which is handy for altering settings if the DK2 is playing up.
Just make sure you have selected one of the HMD options in ED's graphics menu and it should work on the DK2.
The other graphics options Windowed, Full screen etc, are for the monitor screen not the DK2 but make sure the refresh rtate is set to 75Hz for the best experience.

Sorry if this is not very clear, but if you need any help I'll try to answer.

Goodluck.

Thanks very much Dooguk :)

I tried all the above, except I dont have 75hz option under refresh-rate, just 59hz. The DK2 image is static and doesnt the headset doesnt move this happens on both DK2 and LCD.

Any ideas?
 
I don't mean to be a jerk, but this topic is pretty well documented in literally hundred's of forum's and online guides. I believe there is even a sticky that you had to have browsed right by to post this thread...


Also, "CylonSurfer" gave you advice, and then you were rude to him because you didn't find the information you wanted following his advice...

Yup, seems like some folk just want to be spoon fed, no wonder he / she couldn't get it to work. The information is so readily available on this sub forum it's untrue, in such abundance that its hard to find posts which are not on this subject, most of which are complete with step by step guides and troubleshooting tips. They are also the best places to ask for help. I really don't understand why the mods are not merging / locking these threads with the usual militant force they apply to duplicates. You only have to mention the word "judder" in a new thread and its is locked, you are reprimanded and then directed to the main "judder" thread..

You just can't make this sort of thing up...

I think you'll find the OP's "version" of the game is the non-Steam version. Not that the OP wants a guide for E: D / DK2 setup on Win 10 64bit that does not require "SteamVR".

Thanks for jamming my thread... I cant find a solution when searching for your recommendation. I asked for help, not a blockade

Blockade? Hhmmmmm. It was more of a helpful diversion to the information you requested OP. I threw you a bone, like the famous saying "Give a man a fish and he can eat for a day, give a man the means to catch fish and he can feed his family for lifetime". No one has blocked you from finding what you seek other than your lazy self.

Wow never thought creating a thread would welcome so much anger, why would you even bother to comment if your not offering suggestions.

I think you guys are just looking for a fight and it's clear from your comments. I recommend that you take frustrations out in a different forum, I can relate to your problems; I had friends that were sexually frustrated too so I can see why your so angry. Pour yourself a glass of milk and get a good nights sleep (maybe ask your mum to tuck you in) emotional issues run deep my friend and it shows in how you communicate with people you don't even know asking for help.

If my comments make you angry, then perhaps seek medical advice to fix your frustrations, being socially award can be tough but my PM box is open if you need more solutions.

Just remember, all i wanted was help with my DK2!

I fail to see anyone that looks or sounds remotely angry in this thread, myself included.

I'll take my turn to do the psychoanalyses as it seemed like you had so much fun:

If you couldn't find the information you wanted, in this sub forum, with the information I provided you with then you must require some sort of specialist help. I believe that the information I provided you with was not in your "preferred" format, simply because it required some effort on your part. Have you ever heard of self-entitlement? Respectfully, I think that is your problem. We can see in this thread that when someone didn't give you what you wanted, how you wanted it, you then lashed out and made accusations - such as "Thread jamming" & "blockade creations". StarFarter pointed out your rudeness in another post, but as is all to common with people suffering from your condition you chose to ignore that advice and instead become even ruder.

Dairy products and the consumption of such products will likely not help you, nor will more sleep. The first steps on the road to recovery would be to start tying your own shoe laces and then to make you own way to school rather than having mommy take you. With lots of luck, some hard work and a few years of time you may find that you are able to use forum search functions on your own, with further help and support you may one day reach the stage where you are able to resist the temptation of becoming offensive to those who do not wish to do your internet searches for you or see the forums they frequent full of duplicate posts..

Good luck (you will need it) and all the best!

I will choose to ignore the rather unhelpful thread police and try to help you. First of all AMD or Nvidia?
