I think the key here is it does work therefore commitment for filled. It may not work the way you want it to but Waite for the public realease of any of the consumer headsets and frontier will make it work your DK2 should be able to assess whatever software the consumer product can and therefore operate the way you invigined. Or there are several work arounds just check the forum is your impatient.
Oculus Rift SDK update
- Thread starter Edward Lewis
- Start date
Here is one image of Elite Dangerous being demonstrated with an Oculus Rift at a games convention,
It's images like this, convinced me that i should by purchase Elite.
I assume that as a developer, you know about VM's, right? VMWare/VirtualBox is great for this.
From experience, if you find yourself developing on your primary gaming box, it ends in pain!
To the rest of you:
I personally don't see why some of you are getting so excited about this - I mean, it's currently unreleased hardware. Yes, they have it on their product information. So what? Are you really so mad at FD that you want a refund NOW for not fully supporting something that's not yet released?
If they don't add support when it goes to the commercial product, come back here and whine about it. As for now, all your legal bluster is putting across an ugly sense of entitlement that - quite frankly - contributes negatively to this community. Threatening legal action... Shameful behaviour.

Links still available from the first one to the latest one here : https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/
You are on the right track. Imagine this fictional scenario: customers of company P purchased the product based on VR support V1, and then the V1 support is removed, or worse, if P switches to a different VR platform V2 exclusively, then P would likely have to give refunds or face damages, given that V1 was the basis for the sale. In some countries, this is a form of "bait and switch" marketing (ie. feature X used to sell product, then feature X removed after the sale).
Arguments about the basis for the Oculus development agreement are way off, contracts between P and customer C (P<-->C) are different than contracts between C and the VR company O (C<-->O). Don't fret that people don't understand that.
Some people claim to have 0.5 working on Windows 10 with some hacking around. Regardless, 0.5 is not officially supported on Windows 10 so you are on your own if you go that path. Microsoft and Oculus both officially support SDK 0.7.
From Oculus website:
Yea but that one is not working on elite d for me.....the reason for the roll back
FD have posted an FAQ about the recent vive announcement that says a few things about their plans for the rift.
https://support.frontier.co.uk/kb/faq.php?id=206
They will continue to support sdk 0.5 until the consumer rift is ready for launch. It seems a safe bet (not 100% certain, but very good odds) that they will announce updated rift support at that time.

Oh, and I have sdk 0.5, DK2 and ED working just fine together on win10 with no hacks. It upgraded very cleanly from win 8. CQC rocks!

SDK 0.5 is unsupported on Windows 10. Further, you can't use any of the other Oculus games or tools in VR that are built for SDK 0.7 if you run 0.5 in compat mode.

Just managed to get my DK2 going again since upgrade to win 10, works a real treat with dirt rally, shame I can use it with elite, Im off for more rallying, plz reconsider and patch a 0.7 version if not im not too worried i've got dirt to play in
Several CMDR reported here they can use ED with SDK 5.0 and Win 10 without any specific tricks. I guess they are lucky and it depends the exact computer configuration. I can't imagine which benefit all those persons will have to lie here. I can also assure you I use SDK 0.6.0.1 (with Win 7 64 bits) with ED for month even if FD said it's not recommended and could not work.
Cheers CMDRs
I play ED in Oculus DK2 using SDK 0.6.0.1 in a Windows10 with the 347.52 Nvidia driver, and thats the trick (old Nvidia drivers that dont use DirectX12, you can even install any of the 64bit win8.1 drivers). That Nvidia driver doesnt recognize incompatability with Win10 and installs. Then I just need to re-install oculus SDK (0.6.0.1) and despite of the warning message it works like it used to or even better). And VorpX and all the other stuff works aswell! The only thing thats annoying is that despite cancelling all auto-updates and installs my Win10 seems to override my instructions and from time to time (like 2 days or so) auto-installs the updated (forWin10) Nvidia drivers.. Takes about 5 minutes to re-install the old one and re-install de dk2 SDK back again. Doesnt even needs rebooting
Fly safe CMDRs!
This ED VR forum is essentially a forum where we all learn to become experts in the micro details of OS management from drivers, BIOS level and hardware specifics,
Someone needs to put together this list of requirements again?
Someone at ED must have read that article, 'How to maximise user value by introducing vaporware'

I'm a volunteer, not an agent, not employed, not renumerated in any way. And my comments were made as a customer and player of the game, nothing more (/mod hat off). Also Frontier are a UK plc, not a US entity. I'll leave the legal debate to others.
Meanwhile, I'm off to play CQC
