Looks like Oculus are releasing the 1.3 SDK on 28th march, coinciding with the official release of the hardware.
And there is this information about the DK2: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=239596&page=6&p=3705886&viewfull=1#post3705886

I have the same set-up as you catanonia. Indications are that we may have to wait 'till 28th to get the 1.3 SDK if we want to use the DK2 with the latest ED patch update. I'll try it out anyway when the update is done....
The patch notes refer to adding support, not changing anything that already works. If the 1.3 SDK doesn't support the DK2 then I'm pretty sure FD wouldn't suddenly break the old SDK support. I guess we'll know soon.
Thanks for the info.. So opinions vary, but I see a lot people saying they have worse performance in ED with steam VR on 0.8, Is that down to ED not providing any updates? Reading forums for my other games like DCS/Assetto/Eurotruck, the devs continued to provide support and the games run better with 0.8
Just wondering if this patch means things will run better, otherwise I'd like to stick with 0.5
Cheers
Mr Selfish here is quite happy with things the way they are.
My PC is just adequate to run ED:H smoothly during > 99% of the time. One can safely assume it then it probably can't run CV1.
The other games I play are Crusader Kings 2 and Assetto Corsa. CK2 doesn't require VR and ED:H and AC work perfectly with my DK2 using 0.6 runtimes.
Consequently I hope DK2 users won't suffer! Boooooo!

The dk2 will work with runtime 1.3. The problem for now is that 1.3 will not be available from Oculus until Monday. FDEV are releasing their 1.3 patch now as tomorrow and Monday are UK holidays. This means if you are on .5/.6 or .8 runtime today's patch may mean having to wait until Monday to play. We will no soon enough if any of the old runtimes will continue to work with the new VR build. My guess is that the .8 steamVR method will still work. Not so sure about .5/.6.
So any chance we (and by we I mean the moderation team
That sounds like a job for next week, after SDK 1.3 drops. At that point we should be able to quickly figure out the best way to setup a DK2 (either with or without steamvr). Until then, I'm just hoping the update doesn't break my weekend of spaceflight.
Woooohoooo working with CV1 like a charm !!! plug & play, no lag and a great new home splash scene
going in-game in a sec, just need to bind my HOTAS again (and we all know that takes an hour ...)
Why do you have to rebind your HOTAS? I'd go nuts if i needed to do that after an update. Check your windows permissions or contact support, you can also make a backup of the bindings file.
