You think FD is that big? They have "Guys" that work VR integration only?

Where did I say "only" ?

I'm pretty certain "he" also works on other things, but I'm 100% confident that the guys you're really looking for are very busy coding and debugging the GAMEPLAY of the 2.1 version, including work on some of the well known bugs of previous versions for may.

(And I'm also sure there will be a lot left)
 
This one is really bad one. Top 5 bounty should only show players who play in open and on same platform and leave out all players that you can't meet/hunt down. What is the point of the list if you can't ever see him or hunt him down??????

100% agree with this, Bounty Hunting in ED is just not what it should be as it is.
 
Pretty sure you should be using 0.8 with Steam VR - Follow this setup guide, working perfectly for me - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=220614

Thanks for the advice. Downloading the latest driver did help, but still slightly below par. I do believe it's mostly the performance hit of mirroring the action on the screen. When I running native/0.5 I ran the headset as the only monitor so that I could squeeze as much performance out of my little computer as I could.

Definitely the mirroring, can't wait to get rid of steam VR
 
lost the ability to center the DKU. The F12 hot key does nothing. I have tried to re assign it and still nothing. However, I have discovered that positioning the DK2, and holding it still in position, while starting from the launcher seems to work.

I'm running Oculus Beta 8.0.0 on win 7 in Horizons.

Anyone else.
 
Download finished and I have to say, what a great addition this 'Vehicule view centered to horizon'.. makes for much more dramatic driving, loads more comfortable and intuitive too!

But…

once you get back in your ship and finding that while still 'on surface' your view is still locked to the horizon.. what a bummer!

Hopefully, this was unintended and will get fixed shortly.
 
Just tried it out on DK2 with Runtime 0.8 (1.3 note avail yet on Oculus Store) and I can unfortunately confirm that the dreaded frame rate slow down in SuperCruise is still present. Hopefully it will work better when Oculus release the 1.3 runtime...

Strange, I'm getting excellent performance in SC (0.5 & 0.8) 0.8 has caused stutters on planets for me.
 
Lol, just logged in and tried out the "fixed horizon level" option, when I switched to my Ship, my head/Camera was upside down... flipping the setting off fixed it, but it was hilarious.
 
This update completely broke the game for me. It was working perfectly on the 0.6 runtime with the DK2, as other runtimes don't work with my mobile graphics chip 6990M. Now I completely lost head tracking and 3D and the side by side view is stretched way to far vertically where the image becomes too narrow to be playable. I understand the need for support of new runtimes for the oculus launch. I invested money in the DK2 as well as ED and it is my favourite VR game and it would be terrible to think I won't be able to play this anymore just because of a technicality or because Oculus wants to sell more hardware. Please don't forget about us Frontier.
 
It's cool that there's a VR update don't get me wrong i'll definitely be pulling out my DK2 to mess around again, but...(And I know there's probably a different team working on these things)


!. Powerplay Is still broken, and the faction rewards are awful. By Broken i mean there's no way for players to vote away a bad system prep, It'll cost you 50 mil in prepping or Fortification to get to rating 5. So Undermining is still the easiest way to maintain Rating 5. The placing system makes no sense and there's no documentation on how it works. For example Archon according to the raw data was at one point the second or third most productive power having the least wasted Merits, and having never hit turmoil(while being gunned for by 4 factions.) but sat miserably between 8 and 10th place, while other factions were sitting in the top 5 folding in on themselves.


2. We still haven't gotten the bookmarking system for the map like we were told we were going to get in the stream Horizons launched with, and again in the Christmas Stream.


3. While the ship UI is beautifully neat, the outfitting UI is a disaster, it's said when a webbased thing like Coriolis functions better than the Outfitting UI, this is embarassing.


4. There needs to be a way to search for Components and Commodities within 15-30ly of your current position. If you have missions sending you to other systems in that range clearly there's some sort of communication, ect at that range. Just because we can go to a website and check something doesn't mean we should have to, leaving the game to get information that should be readily avaiable is not a feature it's ridiculous.


5. Piracy is still entirely unproffitable, so much so that people just prefer player-killing instead to force the person into a rebuy. The time put in to profit ratio is      poor compared to even mining, and we won't talk about it compared to Trading or Bounty Hunting.


6. Instancing is absolutely terrible and has been for 3 months. So much so that as a PvP player I can't play because if I can actually find someone, I'll usually be unknowlingly engaging a wing of 3 players, one or two of which i can't actually see.


7. There is outright NOTHING interesting to do on planets right now. So that leaves people with Powerplay which as said above is kind of broken and hasn't gotten fixed in a year now, or go to Community Goals which as i said above rely on instancing working as intended.




All that being said i'm still in love with Elite, but i've been taking a pretty long break because of these problems, and while I understand the patchnotes are for a VR update it's very disappointing to me to come and see that things like "Xbox Commanders can be seen on the top bounties now". Why? We can't play with them, No one bounty hunts players because the game is so freaking big it's damn near impossible. The bounty board is useless. We need updates to the Outfitting UI, we need Powerplay updates.
 
Since the update I have lost the HMD options in graphics settings.

I was using 0.6 and tried updating to 0.8 but that didn't bring the options back.

Anyone know what the fix is? It was working beautifully with my DK2 on 0.6 before the update.
 
Is there a way to tell how big a patch is? I have a friend asking me who is at/near his data limit. It would be a great thing to know how much data is. I'm sadly surprised this information isn't shared with customers.
(Apologies for the duplicate repost. Expecting other post to disappear soon)
 
Why are you updating virtual reality when the xbox version still crashes every 15 minutes while exploring?

When will you add bug fixes for the Xbox version?

I have to 'totally' agree here.

Of all the things we need fixed in the game, and they instead put in the time to add this Bounty board feature, which is totally irrelevant, since PC's and Xbox'ers can't ever see each other in the game. Who cares who's highest on the bounty list somewhere off in an alternate ED universe. Sheese! Makes no sense.

Unless that is they (FD) are planning a surprise for us all in merging the PC and Xbox into one galaxy. The merged bounty list is just the 1st step perhaps?

I know wishful thinking huh.

Correction: 267.2mb , the other data size I posted was apparently a TF2 patch that steam keeps kicking to the front of the queue after I manually tell it to dl the elite patch first.

The fix is to wait for monday and the appropriate 1.3 runtime from oculus.

With 0.8 you need to use steamVR but be aware that the performances are very bad with this workaround.
