Any idea when released in UK still waiting 

I'm in UK and still waiting too. I've noticed something though, My oculus Library service wont start, coming up with error code 18. Any one having/had this problem?

Running windows 10, Oculus home starts fine, apps open fine....still weird though...

@rjay2b: I don't think the update wait is really deliberate to upset part of users base.

Presumably not, but that really does prompt the question - what *is* the point of it? - seeing as the only thing it can possibly achieve at this point is to irritate swathes of the user base who are sat here staring at a screen, who have gone to bed, gotten a full night's sleep, and have returned to discover that all they can do is *continue* to stare at a screen... reading posts from people who already have the patch, and for whom it's working perfectly... waiting, waiting to use the headset they haven't been able to use since they bought it a month ago.

Seems a staggeringly effective recipe for annoying the hell out of people for no good reason.

I agree it's could be irritating to know some received the update when we don't. I was like this for all previous patches waiting more than 24 hours before been upgraded. I can understand they don't have yet server infrastructure to support upgrading everybody at the same time and need to dispatch this process. During the 20 minutes "awful long' wait I had yesterday after the Nate post, I opened and closed OH around 5 times and suddenly the message appeared right after opening it. So possibly the check is when you open it and not if OH is already open. Also, I have the "Automatic Update" choice selected in parameters (worst checking in case it if it have some influence here).

Guys, be patient, the wait is nearly over and I hope all will work fine for everybody :)

Rift users are about 0.02% that of Facebook users. I really don't think they would have any problems with server infrastructure.

Well it did falter during initial rift preorders and that was on the facebook infrastructure.

While certainly FB is huge with large resources, I imagine the Oculus Division has it's own P&L and needs to keep lower costs to show profits. They probably only allocate so much to Oculus.
Of course just speculation on my part.

Well... that's a full 24 hours it's been in the wild, and I'm still waiting (along with plenty of others seemingly).

Remind me again... why can we arbitrarily not have this completed patch, which others have been using a full 24 hours apparently without significant issue?

Still waiting here as well - tick tock tick tock LOL.

I'm still waiting patiently though getting frustrated now

Still waiting... Please Oculus, you listened to us on release notes and beta testing last time, listen to us on this one. This method of releasing updates sucks balls. I've not been able to play properly for months, why am I always the last one to get any updates. At least mix it up a bit. Or just release them to everyone at the same time, like a normal tech company.
