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. 
---

As always, if you encounter any issues with this software release, please be sure to report them using the Help Center > Provide Feedback option within the Oculus desktop software. If you have any feature requests or suggestions to make the Oculus software even better, please head over to our UserVoice page to share your feedback. Thanks for your continued help!

    Yeah, the new store is an improvement—no more slow loading of a different environment, just a nice snappy menu switch. With the old one, I actively avoided opening the store in VR.

    Yeah totally agree, the tracking seems so much better, especially playing zero caliber, and it's nice to see some people happy with the update, instead of people having issues

    Can you guys remember if you had an update on your touch controlers as I was changing the batteries during the install and it seemed to just stop and reload oculus, so was wondering if I messed up the install

    I didn’t see any indication of a Touch update (but I’m using a CV1, so it’s possible there might have been one only for Touch 2.0).

    Am I the only one that would like the old store environment as a separate template for another home?  I think it would be awesome and wouldn’t be a waste.

     Ya, that is about the only environment I would want to use as well.  Otherwise, I'll just continue using the Big White Cube custom environment (see link below).  You would think that it would be pretty easy to offer the old store environment.

    I can't say I blame you. I mean, you went all out with the trouble shooting. A clean install should fix everything.
    Hey, good luck with your next big spend buddy.

    P.S. If you haven't really sent it back, you could try getting some help from support.............

    It could be a simple thing that fixes it, and you'll forget all about your massive trouble shooting woes, if you get it going.

    Come on, do a proper job.
