My Kinect V2 moan.
I'm just here so I can moan about the problems I've had with getting KinectV2 for Windows to work.
I keep reading about people here using them and I'm so frustrated because I've had weeks of problems trying to get mine to work. I understand quite well about the USB3 controllers compatibility issue, but that hasn't helped.
I bought a used V2 from Amazon. Tried it on 6 different computers, didn't work on any. Spent 3 weeks doing the install/uninstall, etc.
Then I bought a Resnas USB 3 PCI which is stated to work with it. It didn't.
Then I sent the PC and the Kinect to a computer shop and they had it for a week and tried it on many many machines. No joy. (yes, they billed me of course)
So I bough a new laptop because it was Intel. That didn't work.
Microsoft told me it was broken, but the person had no idea what a V2 for windows even was.
In the end, I decided to give up and buy a new one. And guess what - that doesn't work on 8 PC's that I've tried.
Next step is to go and buy a Microsoft Surface Pro 3, because it's supposed to work on that.
So far, this £200 Kinect V2 is proving very irritating and extremely expensive. It is absolutely vital for a customer of mine.
That's it, my rant is over and I feel a bit better now :|
