With each update always update your IPD!

Just change mine from 53 to 65 made no difference at all!
Did you use the B cups? the separators don't work with A cups, only after I fitted them and vision became much worse I started reading through instructions, changed to B cups and everything was sorted, everything so clear that I can count the green subpixels.
In my case correcting the IPD with hardware and software made a major difference.
Yea I used the B cups and their software (tried without too). Everything was just not in the right focus and I was starting to feel ill, something I NEVER feel in elite. Apparently some of us are more sensitive to this based on their reddit thread, at least two others had the same issue. Apparently the fix involves shaving down the contacts in your DK2 and I honestly don't trust my DIY skills enough to do so.
yes, I've seen this threads, luckily it worked for me. This is the problem with OR, you buy it, then if it turns out you don have the correct face then you are in trouble, and it is extremely difficult to get any help as you are the only person ho can see it. Wonder how this IPD adjustment will work in CV1....
This didn't make the slightest bit of difference for me. Adjusting it in the oculus configuration utility is what works for me, as it should.
We seem to keep having this discussion over and over again. I'm starting to wonder if there is a bug that affects some people only, that is preventing ED from reading the oculus config utility file, so they need to manually set it in ED. That might explain the discrepancy between users.

The setting in my file says <IPDAmount>0.001000</IPDAmount> and my eyes haven't imploded. Pretty sure it's not using that for me because I don't have any eye strain issues. In other games I get sore eyes pretty quickly if it's not set right in the oculus config tool.
I have noticed in some games that the ipd seems to go wrong when out of camera range. Is everyone who sees a benefit from changing this setting using the camera and the latest oculus drivers?

Dude, Cant thank you enough for this, its helped my eyes out immensely.
I also have 70 ipd and i use the VR-Gear: http://www.vr-gear.com/
It makes a huge difference and it's worth every cent! If you use the VR-Gear attachments for the oculus, you also have to use the VR-Gear intercepter software which overrides all ipd settings to the correct one you are using. So you don't have to change the settings in E
config.
measuring ipd the easy way
This is exactly what I ordered today. And I thank the OP for making me think.
I also have a large ipd 69.8 and although I think the oculus calibration tool appeared to function wel I realise my view isn't going straight through the lenses.
So I placed my chin upon my fist and leaned against a mirror closed my right eye and doted my left eye pupil mirror image with a whiteboardmarker.without moving did the same with my other eye and measured that with a ruler.

you could also lay your head on a photocopier machine.

Why? You'll find that as ED uses the latest SDK, it should automatically use your reconfigured IPD from the Oculus Service Manager.
omg i love you.

I used a somewhat modified version of this approach.
My rift wont arrive for at least a week yet, so I didn't take any time to verify it. But I held this bad boy up to the mirror, and after checking and rechecking a few times I was pretty confident that this is the correct number.
Tru but if you like to know more then what the software tells you.....
plus my ipd is too large for the rift the rift to compensate so checking if the measurements are correct.
then I ordered rings to correct the hardware. When those arrive il check weather the service manager will work with that. Does anybody already know? Please report
Lucky you your ipd is near perfect

Define near perfect. As I understand it, that's the point of the adjustment.
