Direct mode issue with DK2?
I've been having a problem where whenever I enable direct mode, only a few games seem to work (that from what I understand are built with the 0.4 SDK). For whatever reason the display is not outputted...
I had the same issue, the solution that I found, involves turning off DK1 compatibility.
In the display properties/ screen resolution menu ( on windows only ),
set the oculus to Landscape Flipped ( 1920x1080 )
and multiple displays to extend.
set the DK2 display to the default/main screen.
You will then have each game launch on the rift, but you will have to work some skillful magic to figure out where your mouse is with one eye at a time and then click the start button.
Some of the games will have weird defaults but so you will need to set them manually to 1920x1080p, again with one eye at a time navigating the mouse.
Sometimes you can hold down the windows key and hit the arrow keys and get the window to navigate to the other screen.
I hope this get's fixed, because it's really frustrating, and it only works on a few more demos than you listed initially. I'm still trying to get other demos working too.
