The 0.7 SDK is now working fairly well with Windows 10 (thanks to my ranting, surely) but if you are still having issues feel free to read this old article, might find a link to something relevant

Windows 10 is here! Who is as psyched as me to jump right into it and give it a whirl? Heck I’ve got my windows 7 disk, so If all is bad, I can just reformat, and badda boom badda bing. But some of you might not be in the same boat. If you don’t own your Windows disk, chances are, that without some serious hacking, you are stuck with your new copy of Windows 10. Whats so bad about this?

There is NO OCULUS RIFT SUPPORT FOR WINDOWS TEN! Surely this is a joke right? The worlds most futuristic consumer gaming technology must surely have been working on this since the announcement of Windows 10 in 2014 right? Well even if they have, they have nothing to show for it. I was expecting the Windows 10 runtime in June… Especially after the announcement came that Oculus is partnering with Microsoft! Now, Windows 10 on my computer, and still nothing.
There has been talk of a method to run the DK2 on Windows 10, but from what I understand, this is only if you upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or 8. I have yet to test this out, but I probably will if Oculus doesn’t release something quick. If you did a clean install on 10, there is not yet a hack out there for that but I’m sure that the Redditers are on it.

https://www.reddit.com/…_working_on_oculus_runtime_0600…

This is Oculus’ official statement on the subject:

“Our software team is working as quickly as possible to complete Windows 10 compatibility with our SDK and the Oculus Runtime. As Windows 10 is not officially supported at this time, we strongly suggest that Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 owners do not upgrade from previous versions of Windows until we have the officially updated SDK and Oculus Runtime available.” -Oculus

https://support.oculus.com/…Windows-10-Compatibility…

and this from Oculus’ team member: ‘Cybereality’

“Windows 10 support has not been released yet.” -Cybereality

Voice your opinion directly to Oculus. I’m sure they have stopped reading by now as the angry hoards have ascended, but why not let them know you care!

edit:
My favorite Win10 feature:

Windows 10 make it easy to go back!

]]> Multiplayer VR! Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you were a giant capsule that could change colors? Well then you’ve probably also wondered what it would be like to float in space at a concert with an alien as a DJ and tons of other color-changing capsules wearing Oculus Rifts just like you needless to say. For this very reason, I have created Multiplayer VR!

Multiplayer VR for the DK2

It’s possible to communicate with others by changing color… Be creative! For ex. BRB or Be Right Back

a maze ing rift

The first DK2 compatible game on my list is “A Maze ing Rift” “A Maze ing VR”. A simple hedge maze game, great for first users. I did a bit of “nausea testing” and did my best to make this a comfortable experience, although that being said, I would still only give this a moderately comfortable experience rating. The most positive aspect however is that I designed this game specifically for use with low end systems. You should be able to get away with 1.8+Ghz CPU and 2GB RAM. If you feel like being helpful, we can get a better idea of system requirements by leaving your system info in the comments, and describing the games play-quality on your machine.

Also, stay tuned for my next title, an FPS built for the Rift!

(I definitely fall in both of those categories!). Well some of you might just be surprised by the “extras” you’ll be receiving with your new Oculus Rift DK2. This isn’t the first unboxing vid of the DK2, but the other one I saw was pretty long, with a lot of pointless chatter. Watch in 1080p HD:

Enjoy!
