DK2 and Nvidia

The last time I tried VR must have been some 20+ years ago at an event in Earls Court and whilst it was pretty good, my eyes killed me for a while after.

I have seen lots of people have issues with W10 and that was on an older 10 build, so fingers crossed it is fine now and it will be with me tomorrow as he couldn't get to the post office yesterday. At least it gives me some good time to read up.
VR 20 years ago was garbage compared to what we have now. Even the commercial versions.

We've still got a long way to go, but we've definitely come a good ways in the past few years.

As for Windows 10, I recommend using this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/3psikl/vr_game_manager_update_runtime_switcher_edition/

This should allow you to run games using old runtimes that 'technically' aren't compatible with W10.
 
I am hoping that isn't the case with the res and in truth, I am really only playing ED, which reading about works very well with the DK2 but fingers crossed it arrives today. Not showing as posted on the bay but might mean he hasn't updated it.



In truth Chop, I hunted and hunted for news on the Rift and I couldn't find anything out about it for release and didn't even know there would be mention today. Got something I can read up on please?

There's a few stories on the announcement. They dont say exactly what it is, but its no secret its the final release date. It should be announced at 2am

That announcement was last week and it was just Rock Star VR(specially made for VR). Release info for the Rift is still unknown, though there's a good chance they start taking pre-orders before X-mas, and a launch is likely to be in March.

I read that thread 2 minutes ago and seems pretty straight forward cheers Sean. I have it bookmarked as well just in case :)

No worries Chop and even if it is released in January, I don't care what I lose on the DK2. I understand tech moves quickly and I am quite surprised I held out this long in truth.

Hope you put up a review Greg. Would love to hear your thoughts on it when you get it.

Yep I'm keen the hear gregsters thoughts on it, I fancy a dabble into vr myself and the good news for me is even the Mrs wants to try it so I won't have to justify the cost to her this time:D
 
OMFG!!!

Seriously, why the **** didn't I buy this earlier? I am blown away in truth and have only tried Back to dinosaur Island and Elite Dangerous. Set-up was really easy and nothing complicated and it basically worked out of the box.

One gripe thus far and I was expecting it.... Resolution! Immersion makes up for it but for the complete package, the res needs to be better. After playing for an hour, I am totally sold and will certainly be getting the CV1.

I will give it a few days of playing before I give a review but there will be a review, so for those interested and any questions, ask away :)
 
Did they at any point recommend wearing diapers just in case? :D

Haha :D

Like me you used 3dvision quite a lot, does dk2 share any of the same traits? Like it straining your eyes after an hour or so, or does the weight of the thing being clipped to your face get too much?

Will be a few years before I consider investing in vr, let the market settle down and standardize somewhat.

Do you use joystick in elite? With the headset on have you found yourself hitting the wrong buttons at all?

Great isn't it. Depth perception is considerably more realistic imo than any 3d panel. Most of the nay sayers shout about resolution and latency but given the speed of panel development and the sheer investment in phone screen manufacturing, i dont think we are far off getting far more acceptable resolutions. Latency can be fixed via stuff in development like liquid VR.

Considering it is a developers kit and a very premature one (designed when they ahd far less funding and attention) i think it is very good!

I hope it takes off when it hit the shelves so that we see both support from normal games and games dedicated to VR come out en masse.

I would love to see a 21:9 3440 by 1440 split panel in one over the current ratio
 
Haha :D

Clarity is better on 3DVision but compared to the DK2, it looks like 2D in comparison. Depth and immersion are so good, I can forgive the image quality.

I do use a X52 and I also use voice attack, so no need for the keyboard but I have used the KB for so long, I find myself looking down to find the boost key and number keys and all I see is my virtual legs and cockpit :D I am slowly getting used to it and won't be long before everything is second nature. Anyone who has a decent machine and played ED a lot (like me) needs to at least give this a try..... Totally awesomesauce :eek:

Glad you're enjoying it Greg. The CV1 is OLED HD in both eyes so it should be awesome.

That will just make it the nuts really. I can understand why people don't like the res and it does make reading hard in ED for example (and I have set it to the green HUD) but again, immersion makes up for IQ and then some.

Yer, like I said to PGI, it makes 3DVision look like 2D and totally blows it out of the water. I am sold on getting the CV1 and probably the next (CV2?)

Might have to see if i can borrow the one from work at some point.
