    Has anyone updated to 1.20 and are still using their DK2? I updated and the screen went half green and half orange. Image is still there but obviously not usable like this. Had to do a system restore to get the previous 1.19 runtime to work. It does work again, but when I start the Oculus App, it says there is an error starting with the letter Q. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, mate. Cheers, AussieStig


    same problem here... ant its a pain in the arse.. reinstalling 119, takes 2 gb to download. what a shitpile of software... we will see if its a waste of time. maybe blocking that shitty service in your firewall.

    this is so stupid... disableing  the automatic updates doesnt work. it will automatically install 1.20 anyway :neutral:
    investigation goes on, not that i had better stuff to do :neutral:

    i was trying to show virtual reality to some friends...
    now their impression is it doesnt work with oculus.

    nice work guys, this is the way to intruduce new people to vr ;) NOT!

    i told them not buy buy oculus if they are interested, because their software is a pile of bullshit.
    it was always a huge problem if you like to use older runtimes for years now...
    they just dont care or cant code

    EDIT:
    Trying to reinstall it without internet connection doesnt work...
    nice one!
    so we are simply not able to fix your shit by ourselves. bravo.
    next headset wont be oculus!
    and i will spread the word so others are warned..

    Hi, @CoolFire321, do you happen to run on an older Nvidia card? If so, you may want to install this specific driver for best compatibility: 385.41


    Hi!

    I am having this problem, but with ATI !

    For me, some of the color are displayed rotated 90° on the right (as when the headset is recognized as a monitor)

    But most are indeed showing in 3d

    Please help!
    I love my Oculus so much (it is a DK2 btw.  I am not sure why you guys don't carry that one for $350 as when it went out. Would be so popular!)

    Thanks a lot!

    same here.. some colours are rotated.
    your headset, drivers and gpu are fine.
    its just the new software 1.20
    1.19 worked perfect with dk2.
    its a shame we have no option to get back to 1.19.
    you just cant, it requires a internet connection and is always downloading the newest version.
    it doesnt matter what installer you use...

    i hope they will do something about that.
    i wont buy another headset just because the software was updatet...
    it just worked perfect a few days ago..

    So how to stop this 1.20 upgrade or revert  to older driver if problems appear from it, we should have more flexible control on the update procedure, or it will be difficult for some users .....

    It's hard to find the best way to support your user base :neutral:

    Anyways, I've applied to the `Development Engineer, Oculus Platform' ad on the facebook site.

    If I can help in some ways (w/o having to move to Seattle though :blush: )
