Rift 1.40 Release Rolling Out Now

Dash
  • We've added a new button to the Dash belt to select and view individual Virtual Desktop panels.
  • We've improved stability and performance of Virtual Desktop. Please make sure your version of Windows 10 is up to date to take advantage of these improvements.

Guardian

We’ve made performance improvements and feature updates to improve your experience while interacting with Guardian. These updates include:

  • Ability to clear your Guardian boundary history from your Guardian settings menu.
  • Opportunity to confirm your Guardian boundaries are accurate when you first put on your headset.
  • Removed the need to indicate what direction is forward when setting up Guardian.

Store
  • Updated the design and improved performance and load times for the Oculus Store.

Home
  • You can now collect all of your Oculus Home rewards at once with the new Collect All button. (Note: this feature is rolling out slowly to everyone within 1.40. Thanks for your patience!)

Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where Touch controllers could lose tracking during fast movements with Rift.
  • Removed warning that USB drivers needed to be updated when drivers were already up to date.

    Maybe if the just add text to that particular setup window to say something like 'Reposition this window using Oculus button to change forward direction'.

    Was there a touch or headset firmware update in this release, my update started to install after oculus closed and then it just seem to go off and oculus just launched again, was expecting maybe a firmware update for touch, hence the release notes, so wondered if my install didn't complete correctly,

    app version is 1.40 and touch firmware is 1.12.1 (I did change the touch batteries during install as they were dead, so wondered if I caused it to not complete the install fully)

    For the love of god fire your Q&A team. Cause y'all suck at finding bugs. A problem that I had completely fixed has not reared it's ugly little head again. I have lost complete utter tracking of my controllers and I cannot get the headset to track where my hands actually are period. This is freaking ridiculous, you would think you guys would know how to fix your screw ups but damn $399 and still has issues, jesus. I think if i had the $1000 to spend, i would get the damn index to be honest.

    EDIT: Finally after 40 minutes stuck at 51%, update finished successfully. Weird...

    I guess the 52nd percent was really big... :)

    The update rolls out progressively (region by region, I think) so you will get it when you get it, not when you want it. That's why they say "rolling out now" instead of "available now".

    Ya, once it's fully rolled out, a Reinstall and/or Repair should result in the latest final release (1.40 in this case).
