Well that blows. Just phoned DHL. Due to the bank holiday they never bothered to deliver my headset. Thanks for telling me. Despite having 3 emails and 2 texts saying it'll be delivered Tuesday.
So, another day off work, lets see what happens.

Oh No! They’re using DHL!! DHL are a disaster here, I had a delivery from them last week, they rang me to say nobody was home and they were leaving it in the green bin. Except there was someone at home and they left it in the bin of completely the wrong house! When I rang him back he said he was miles away now, so you know, nothing he could do… They don’t seem to bother with signatures either. If they do that with my Vive, it doesn’t bear thinking about.

The camera issue will most likely just be USB port compatibility and sometimes software such as the Razer Synapse. In fact just uninstall any software that may be interfacing with a USB device apart from Steam VR of course!

Yes if t's not a native VR title then you have to force the game to run in 3D using VorpX or Vereio Perception (Vive support imminent).

There are also some standalone solutions using various methods such as Minecraft using Python/Java libraries. Minecraft once setup and working is a great example of a how a open environment can work.

Just tried Elite (couldn't resist). If that is buggy/lower res atm then I can not wait for the good version. WOW.

the guy who made the revive wrapper had a look at Elite and came up with:

I've looked at Elite Dangerous in a graphics debugger in the past, which allowed me to find out what the real issues are. So let me set the record straight here:

Elite Dangerous is rendering at the full recommended resolution (1512x1680), the resolution in the settings is ignored for VR.

The text on the in-game UI is unreadable because it isn't being scaled correctly, causing aliasing artifacts. The further away you are from the text, the worse these artifacts become.

The text scales just as bad on the Rift and on your Desktop monitor, but they are less affected due to their higher PPI and lower FOV.
The text is being scaled incorrectly because text is being rendered to a huge texture without generating mipmaps. This is a bug, because the texture filter they're using expects mipmaps.

Supersampling partially works around this bug by rendering everything to a larger texture, reducing the aliasing artifacts in the UI textures. But that only partially solves the problem and comes at a huge cost in performance.

tl;dr Frontier needs to fix a bug with their UI text and then text will be more readable on all platforms, even your desktop monitor. They're probably already aware of the issue though, as they've said they have some aliasing tweaks incoming.

It is unbelievable! Feels like you're there, peeking round corners and hiding behind desks. Crazy stuff. Even standing right up next to a wall is surreal as you can look close and see the texture. Felt like a lucid dream.

TheBlu - flipping astonishing. All these YT videos of people playing and reacting doesn't prepare you at all. Beautiful.

Still finding my 'VR legs'. Come out feeling quite odd if im in too long. Weird feeling, like your brain is struggling somehow. Some idiot set a world record of 24 hours in VR...just Tilt Brush. He was a state and being sick in a bucket towards the end. Can't be good for you!

Well, that's 2 days taken off work and no sign of them at all.
Down for a third day now and promised a pre 12pm delivery. Let's see what happens then.
So many phone calls to DHL to check and recheck. I even got them to try to talk to the delivery driver to check on it but they said he kept cutting out...yeah, right.
The customer service team have been prompt and courteous and can't be blamed for rubbish delivery drivers.

Yea you need to turn off SLI - a lot of people are reporting issues on the frontier forums (including me!).

The game looks atrocious atm, relating to the rendered resolution is not same as the vive's lenses... they're apparently working on it
 
It gets better. I rang to double check they had my Vive on the guaranteed 12 pm express delivery...it wasn't. In fact they've lost the damn package now....
If I have to make a claim so be it but I want my damn headset :( (first world problems...)
