Turn off stereoscopic 3D

If you are getting issues where the Rift starts jumping and goes black and cannot be resolved without a restart, check you haven't got stereoscopic 3D enabled in the NVCP

I get this exact same thing happening, but I have an AMD card and Catalyst doesn't include any options related to stereoscopic effects

Check out the Screen Jumping thread for more options. Also try disabling any overclocking, looking at your PC's temperatures, and try setting your main monitor's refresh rate to 75hz

I don't think this is the same issue as the other 'screen jumping' thread. The "screen goes black and cannot be fixed without a restart" is an issue I'm also having. The game keeps going and the music keeps going, but the game acts like it's alt-tabbing over and over.

Yeah that's exactly what's happening to me. And you're right, this was just a red herring. It seems to resolve itself after a while of leaving it on not playing but I think it's a cable or device issue

I tried downgrading my display drivers before and gone back to Oculus runtime 0.5.1, but it didn't work. I checked and did not have the 3d Vision driver installed, at all. Now I've performed a clean reinstall of the newest display driver and installed the 3d Vision driver and ensured Stereoscopic 3d is off. We'll see how this goes after I get back from work tonight.
