Oculus Rift controllers not working in-game after update
6/11/2024, allowed Meta Link to update on my PC for my Rift CV1. Everything still works until I get into a game. Once I enter the game, the Touch controllers are not detected when moving, and in the game they are at ground level and will not move. The Oculus button still worked, and I could...
Some people still use the CV1, and to be honest, if you have a 3 sensor setup its tracking is probably the best out there and the CV1 touch controllers are perfectly balanced. It's also a very lightweight and comfy headset. The only reason I wanted to upgrade from mine (which I still have) is the very low resolution.

I somehow have acquired four CV1's???? Yes, it has a low resolution, but with the power of modern GPUs and super-sampling cranked up to eleven, the initial shock of the barn door effect quickly disappears when you get into a game or experience.
The "Why I Still Love My Oculus Rift CV1 in 2025" Thread
I've gotten slightly tired of repeating all the awesome stuff about the Oculus CV1 on Oculus Subreddit and in here - so why not try to collect all the great arguments for still using the Rift CV1 in a thread? 1. It's oled. Even with the oled mura (SPUD) Rift CV1 is still a lot darker than lcd...

One of the best things about having a CV1 is a large Oculus PC library of games I picked up back in the day which now work at hugely better resolutions and wirelessy on Quest Headsets. Lone Echo 1 & 2, Asgards Wrath even some more obscure games like Arktika.1, Wilson's Heart, and From Other Suns play really nicely on modern Meta headsets and often look as good if not better than the recent PCVR games.

- Death Star or Mount Doom, it depends on the day.
I'm still using my CV1. As stated above with a slight OC it's great. Plus, you can't miss out on newer headsets if you've never played on them.
I've had a boxed up DK2 sat behind my desk at work for... a very long time. Fond memories of those early days, but also some memory nausea from playing janky games.
It was such a faff to setup with all those wires as we didn't have a PC it could stay set up on but I'd like to give it a go before I try any of the current headsets. I'm close to getting a Q3.

Just bought one of these bad boys, brand new in box..... Wireless PCVR yeah baby!
I wanted one of those back in the day, but the cost was more than the headset.
Picked this one up for £66. Cheaper than CEX. Surprisingly, the battery had 50% charge left. Time to test it out with the default software. The lack of microphone functionality isn't an issue but we'll see how bad the frame drops are before I put openTPCast on it.

Post up some results when you get it up and running. Would be interested to see what the performance is like. There was supposed to be some heat off them. Which is good news for you coming into these colder months of the year
After spending ages getting my old Rift working on a new AMD 7800 XT (HDMI connection not detected) for no obvious reason one of my sensors stopped working.
It won't even detect as connected in Windows 10 device manager.
Thinking it might be the cable I took it apart/destroyed it and tested with a new one but still nothing, even tested the old cable with an external hard drive and it worked fine.
Could anyone please tell me if there's a known issue and easy fix or is it probably just knackered?
Thanks.

Sometimes the cameras in the constellation sensors just give up the ghost. Is the LED on the top illuminating when it's plugged in. Replacement sensors are cheap now -

Thanks very much for the reply Drakulton, seems you're the resident expert on the CV1.
No, the LED on top doesn't come on.
Was hoping I wouldn't have to sink any more money into 9 year old tech that I've barely used but they're cheap enough to maybe get a couple for a 4 sensor setup.
Got the itch to try VR again and thought it best to use what I've already got before getting a newer headset.
Thanks for the link.
Cheers.

Things have moved on so far that even a second hand Quest 2 will give a better experience than the Rift.
The Rift has amazing tracking and controllers when set up right but modern headsets can get close with inside out tracking, or even the same with self tracked controllers like the Pro controllers.
Possibly the best thing the Rift has going for it is the uncompressed video on the OLED screens but the resolution is so low you will not be able to believe how much sharper and clearer a modern headset like a Quest 3 is, and it can do it wirelessly, something that a rift could only do with £300 add on.
My Rift CV1 is boxed up. Just keeping it now as a collectors item.
