Mine is working just perfectly. In fact since I got it early last year I've only played ED on a monitor to take a screen shot.
Just don't upgrade the SDK and don't install Windows 10.
I think you should do a live stream wearing your OR.

Why the defeatism? There's been a perfectly good work around that's easy as pie for ages
Been rifting non-stop for 8 months now
On 12/21, Oculus did lock down the v1.0 specifications and communicate them to developers with final hardware.
https://developer.oculus.com/blog/rift-sdk-1-0-shipping-to-developers-with-final-rift-hardware/
As an engineer, I can understand that they need time to look into it and confirm whether it's suitable or not, especially since the team was hopefully taking some well deserved holiday time. That said, I would love a straight answer on whether or not they've received the v1.0 SDK. Maybe Oculus hasn't given it to them yet? Maybe they have, but there's an NDA attached?
Unfortunately, I'm with Wokawidget that this thread doesn't really give me much confidence in proper support. Though it has had the proper effect of my deciding not to put in a preorder yet.

You do realise with third party DEVICE problems its better to talk to the source then trying work around a problem...because every update would break your work around and you would have to work again for a new work around...until it breaks again...thats inefficient and costly.
There is a reason why every company and game developer gives you the "did you update your drivers" meme...
Unless it's already known, I'll be trying out 0.6 with CV1 tonight and share what the results are. I'm still in the office at the moment though, waiting for the preorders to start so I can get one
Otherwise, from my thread you can see that CV1 + 0.8 oculus runtime + SteamVR can work if setup correctly.
I'm pretty sure CV1 will be supported when it comes out.

GREAT! Debate ending news! You are my main man ghcannon
That's not what I said at all
I merely said I was confused and Zacs posts were cryptic.
I only play ED...if I wasn't confident about future support I wouldn't be pre-ordering a CV1. If it does all go pear shaped, then like I said in a previous post, self inflicted on my behalf.

Thanks, looking forward to hearing results!
Thank you Zac, that's much appreciated and I think goes a good way towards reassuring those of us who might pre-order the Rift that any current issues will be fixed in due course.
Yours is a DK2 I have a DK1
Last time I tried to install the 0.4/0.3 libraries for that, it destroyed the whole Windows install. So I had to reinstall Win 10
My point was the same as yours however I only bought the Rift because of Elite. Not the other way around
Tell me more of this VR shipyard. Sounds like I may be a VR owner who could help out
For LaveCon 2015 I took my PC with Oculus DK2. In Elite: Dangerous I purchased 18 of the 20 ships available (missing the Type 9 & Orca) and set up my PC in the LAN room, so that anyone who had not tried VR could sit in their favourite ship.
People got the chance to see what an amazing work of art the ships interiors are in game. The reactions of both adults and children to VR was entertaining in itself. You have to try VR for yourself; “No one can explain what The Matrix is…”
The LaveRadio team have said they are making the LAN room a bit more central this year. Depending on how far Horizons is along by that time, we might be able to have four players on the bridge of my Anaconda or Imperial Cutter. Something to see.
WOW they want 600$
600.00 (long whistle....) as my finger backs away from the pre-order button. Damn that's a tough pill to swallow.
Just ordered mine. Wasn't expecting to see $600 for it but let's hope it's worth it and also lets hope they ship quickly! Sooner than March would be a pleasant surprise!
$600 and no clear support from Frontier. I'll have to wait for the Vive then I guess... not really a bad thing.
Reddit people are guessing the Vive will be in the $800 range. I'm guessing $799 personally. Camera and controllers included, I guess that's the better deal? Damn, I'm not sure how many people are going to be buying these things. We might actually be seeing the beginning of the end of VR.
