    Thanks for the release notes. Now for a way to manually update.
    I always get updates around 3 days later which is very frustrating - especially when wanting these fixes.


    And what about choosing the option to repair your installation? I am doing it now.. and I assume the 1.57GB that I am forcing my system to download will include the latest and greatest. 

    Crossing my fingers at least. 



    Thanks for the tip. Easy way to force the update!!

    No, reinstalling won't force the update. You just have to wait. Thanks.

    I guess I should feel lucky that I am not having the issues that apparently a lot of ppl are, hence a fix patch.  Setup my 3rd sensor w/o any issues as well today.

    I'm seeing lots of complaints on here, so I thought I'd share my positive feedback.  

    First, the visibility fix to the guardian system is awesome!  Can't count how many times I've gotten too close to it playing Arizona Sunshine in a dark location and been blinded by the brightness of it lol.  I like the way it now blanks the guardian wall near your hands so that if you're aiming a gun it doesn't block your view.

    Second,  I haven't been able to play a lot of games yet, but I'm seeing a definite improvement in my 3-sensor tracking.  I have mine mounted on my ceiling in the corners of my room, and before the update, I predictably lost tracking every time I pointed the controllers towards the ground.  But now, they're way more stable.

    I'm curious -- users who are reporting the hands moving when you point towards the back sensor, do you have them mounted above your eye level?  When mine were at shoulder-height, I had the same problem, because I think 2 sensors need to see the controller for high accuracy.  But once I raised them, it went away.

    Anyways, thanks for the hard work!  I will update if the improvement seems less substantial after playing a few games.

    Major issues with this update when running room scale. Would be nice to be able to roll back an update.

    I agree, the new look of the Guardian walls is much better. It also doesn't seem to pop up nearly as much now (I used to get it appearing a lot, even when I wasn't particularly close to it).

    Tracking seems solid so far. I used to get a bit of a hitch in the headset tracking when I turned away from the sensors, but that seems better. I haven't used Touch enough yet to say if the spinning hands issue is fixed, but I'll spend some time in Medium over the weekend and find out.

    Great,  after the update my 3rd sensor which I had plugged in to my Inatek USB card as 3.0 is now reading as poor tracking quality.  I specifically bought that card so that I could have all three sensors plugged into 3.0 USB.  WTF Oculus?

    Not sure what happened to my comment a moment ago but I'd like to add that not only did this update make it so my 3rd sensor now reads with poor tracking quality in a USB 3.0 even though it was fine before,  but,  My .bat file I used to stop the invasive Oculus services in windows does not work anymore.  Now when I stop the services a Oculus window pops up and still tries to connect but can't so it just sits there broken.

    Yep..simple as that. Just download the installer, select repair..and voila.

    Also, USB 3.0 ports are backwards compatible.  WHY, put up a tracking message forcing the user to move it specifically to a USB 2.0 port?  That doesn't make sense.
