oculus option dissapeared? (might be a simple fix)

[rasseru]

i followed the detailed posts stickied, spent a bit of fiddling with the rift on side-by-side mode, thinking 'this cant be the immersion people are talking about, no head tracking.. ', then lo and behold, the oculus+headphone option appeared! clicked it on, head tracking came on, everything looked the right scale, but my rift wasnt centered.


i didnt know how to center it so i logged out and centered it in the demo and looked for the control to do that (f12?), loaded up elite again and the oculus+headphone option isnt there anymore. now ive tried everything for about 5 hours and it hasnt come back. damn.





i had a few seconds of amazement... any ideas as to what i can try? i have disabled zonealarm and am running latest nvidia drivers. i did roll back to earlier ones but nothing happened..


damn! and im a pretty patient guy

What about at the OS level? In the nvidia/ati control panel, is the rift present as monitor running @ 75Hz? (Check the Detailed set up sticky.)

I don't know if it's still applicable but F12 used to crash the game back to the desktop when you try to re-centre the rift, so i remapped the key in the control options menu to a different key

The F12 bug was fixed.

Use F12 to recentre your Rift once you've changed the mode to one of the Oculus ones.

Yeah, it's present at 75Hz - the demo from the oculus config works fine direct or extended (primary or secondary), and I've just got vox machinae to work in extended.

The latest nvidia drivers should be fine ? (they are all .52) also, disabling zonealarm should be enough, shouldn't it

Try powering your Rift off and then on again. Make sure it's on before you start the launcher.

If that fails, I think there's an option to "verify game files" in the menu of the launcher - this will reset all your graphics settings to the default. That might fix it, if something has gotten corrupted. Make sure you're setting the monitor to secondary before you try changing the 3D mode also.

Failing that, unplug the Rift (and camera) from your PC and try changing USB ports. Some people have reported better results running the camera through a powered hub rather than directly to the PC motherboard.

Disabling zonealarm isnt enough. uninstalled it and it worked first time. woop!


now, what firewall to use? i can upgrade avast! , but will that cause conflicts somewhere else? ill stick with windows for the time being.

If you're running a hardware router you don't need a software firewall. It's overkill.
