DK2 positional tracking without HDMI connected

Hi,

I'm having problems getting any data from the Rift without having the HDMI cable connected.
My setup:
PC1: should do the rendering
PC2: should process the headtracking

unfortunately I can't get an HMD Handle from ovrHmd_Create when the HDMI Cable is not connected (or is connected to another PC). The Oculus Config Util also says "no HMD device connected" when the HDMI Cable is not connected or connected to another computer.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

Thanks

    I don't think it's a matter of ideas, the oculus runtime just doesn't work that way. If it was free software it would be easy to hack it to do what you want, but unfortunately it isn't. So the only thing you can do if you insist on doing what you said above, is to write your own software for the rift and ditch the official sdk/runtime. If you do please make it free software.
