Merry Christmas everyone! 

After installing latest Nvidia drivers i get message on desktop icon tray that the Nvidia Control panel is missing, i tried reinstalling drivers but nothing.What could cause that?Also noticed now Google Chrome is not saving password anymore.  I would turn my pc on and load up chrome and go on Facebook, youtube or twitter expecting to be logged in already but im signed out and settings not saved.Not sure if a recent windows update might of done something or i was using Oculus Debug tool around the time restart as administrator as i had trouble updating to V12

(even before the end)Then i watched this............ and suddenly the top video does not seem so far fetchedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR32ULxbjYcps anthropomorphism IS a real thing.... In that 2nd vid I find myself feeling uncomfortable watching the robot being pushed around...... now that is a bit screwed up.

Seems so and it's even going to be on Steam.... very interesting change of direction by Microsoft. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88VBun17AMIThe PC version of Halo: MCC will come in stages, with each game released individually, in chronological order, rather than all of them together in one big bundle. That means Halo: Reach will be first, followed by Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST (Campaign), and Halo 4. 343 Industries said that staggered scheduled will enable it to ensure that each game is "right"—emphasis theirs—with PC-standard features including FOV sliders, 4K resolution and ultrawide monitor support, adjustable framerates, and remappable keys. Beyond their initial launch, the games will "evolve and grow over time with community input," Microsoft said.

Just checking to see if anyone else had major difficulties logging on to the forum?Had 24-hours failure (may have been more but on the road).

The best head gasket repair is.......... A new head gasket. Each type of head gasket sealer is specific to the engine as it has reinforced pieces of metal at the points required. The is no paste, glue or any other magic that can stand up to the pressure for any reasonable length of time. What will happen is that when it fails it will do so spectacularly and WILL lead to a large bill to repair all the internals of the engine when the very large bang tries to fire the Pistons and other internals through the hood of your car.ANDWhat is the best head gasket sealant?

I have been looking for a way to add a signature, I see some users have them, can someone tell me how to get a signature set up? I have looked through the profile and settings and it says I don't have permission for a signature. 

I did have my oculus software in a windows 7 SSD drive but after the last update I get a message saying that win 7 will no longer be supported after a few more months so I decided to reformat the drive and put win 10 on it and that's where my problems started because after installing it I couldn't update win 10 and my GTX 1080 was not being detected so I couldn't install nvidia drivers but after a very long search on the net and a lot of hair pulling  I discovered I could download a windows 10 update tool from Microsoft web site and used that to update then I was able to install my nvidia drivers without a problem,Posted this just in case someone else has the same problem with windows 10https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/3159635/windows-10-update-assistant

No longer working! This was for the old forum.   Here's a mostly working version of a dark mode for this forum. It features the following: - generally dark theme for everything - posts by moderators are coloured orange - posts by oculus staff are coloured blue - avatars have been enlarged from 40x40 to 60x60 - emojis in posts are half size - quotes are coloured a dark cyan, increasing in brightness as they are stacked (quoted quotes, etc) - code blocks are a greeny colour - spoilers are a red-ish purple - in the edit box for a new post, you can now see where quotes are (previously they were invisible) - signatures are darkened so they don't look like normal post text - like, lol and awesome counts are yellow - the flag post button is red - announcement posts in the thread list page are coloured a dark greenish cyan   There are a few broken bits at the moment. The oculus forum does some tricky stuff, some of its combo boxes use css that is injected after the page is loaded, wh

For the first time in over a year I started getting badge notifications. And it appears that other long time forum users got the same. Happy to see the forum badge system updated!I am hoping I hold the record for most points in a week lmao

Quick question. I have a Geforce 2080ti and wondered if updating your graphic drivers really makes such a huge difference to your fps? I ask because I have a 3D projector and since Nvidia decided to stop supporting Nvidia 3D, it has left me not being able to update to the current Nvida driver, unless I want to give up on 3D, which I don't want to do. Stability wise my drivers seem fine because I haven't had any crashing in the games I play, but I'm more interested to know if I will be losing out on higher fps? I did do a search and I saw that some people said the latest Geforce 2080ti drivers actually made their fps worse by 3 or 4 fps. So are we just talking about a few fps here and there or can a driver boost fps by say more then this? Really pished off that Nvidia has stopped supporting 3D.

I literally purchased a PlayStation for Red dead Redemption 2 yesterday and it's going back today. The Playstation controls really do suck when you are used to keyboard & mouse. What is it with RockStar that they can't just say if they intend bringing this game to the PC? I mean, why do some development teams choose to act all secretive about a game coming to the PC or not? When do you think we are most likely to hear something, or do you think it will just go the same way as the first Red dead Redemption and not arrive on the PC?I didn't get chance to see if Red dead Redemption 2 is better then Grand Theft Auto V, which I have on my PC. But for those that have played both games what do you reckon? I'm talking about comparing the games now not the Playstation controller v Keyboard & Mouse. I just want to get an idea what Read dead 2 is like compared to GTA V. I thought it looked a really good game, but didn't stay on it long enough because I'm useless with the Playstation contr

I swear my image on the left was different - but I log in the other day - and it seem to have been change to this red sunglasses guy O.o did something change?

What was that? Let's share our last purchases

"Phone numbers linked to the accounts of more than 419m Facebook users have been exposed in the tech giant’s latest data breach.Databases relating to 133m US Facebook accounts, 50m accounts in Vietnam and 18m UK accounts were found on a server that was not secured by a password.Having access to a person’s phone number could allow hackers to force-reset the password of any online account linked to the number."Oh great!

I would like to know from those that have experience with one or the other or both, for someone just getting into the >$500 quadcopter arena, which format should I get into if I do not have any aspirations to make money at aerial photography? I have searched and read a few of the many search results that came back about 1080P vs 4K but they all seemed to end with no definitive answers and resorted to complaints about two accounts/one person agreeing with themselves to make a point.The air ships I am considering all have the option of either with 4K obviously being more expensive and oft times just going that little bit above my proposed budget but not so much above that it couldn't be a possibility.

Hello! My favorite podcasts:The Tim Ferriss Show about health, The Minimalists Podcast and How to live to 200. I'd love to hear about your favorite podcasts

So offical Oculus.com site was (according to wayback machine) indie music magazine in 1996. And its name was originally a music magazine name . isnt that crazy?https://web.archive.org/web/19961112211643/http://www.oculus.com/info/whatis.html

Anyone else get this? I was able to create a signature but now it's vanished and apparently I don't have permission?Any ideas, cheers

Does anyone know when we are likely to find out what this super thing from Nvida is going to be? I read that some people thought we would find out at Computex, but that dates passed now. It's a bit fricken stupid of Nvidia doing this. All it does is make people hold off buying their graphics cards until they find out what this is.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiLVZje9_nE

I just discovered (the hard way) the very painful possible side-effect of ginger. :oops: My doctor just said I have gallstones, and a gallstone probably got stuck in the tube leading from the gall bladder, which is why I had terrible abdominal pains for three weeks. (The pain is gone now, but I still have gall-stones).Ginger is considered very suspect because it increases bile production. It's not unanimous that ginger is bad for gallstones, there is a minority that says it might be good for them, but it is definitely interferes with normal gallbladder operation in some way. Remember, just because a drug is "natural", doesn't mean it doesn't have serious side effects, and doesn't mean it's not still a drug. Things that have an effect, usually have side-effects too.BTW, my doctor had heard of the Oculus Rift and its kickstarter development kit. He keeps asking me about it. :)

Just thought I'd let you know if anyone is interested and missed it. I've just purchased Frost Punk, it's not a VR game but one I've being waiting to play it for sometime. Some VR games like Project Cars 2 are on sale though etc.

It's got so bad that even these highly popular Creators are complaining. It's becoming a failure. I've only tried once at a Channel and it too got blocked because all I did was create it with a 2nd Google Account which is a Ban! Same as happened to me on the Frontier Forum just to gain access to give help and get help in playing their game.Facebook has come close to the same over-power of posts yet they do nothing about real threats!It's all about jobs these people take to abuse their powers. If we have our freedom removed it brings forward an uprising by the people.People needed YouTube and Facebook to make a Living and now it has become a mafia!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQuE0wfjzf0

Apparently Google Stadia has Sony and Microsoft concerned and rumors are flying that they will have their consoles exceed the 10.7 tflops of stadia's streaming service. That would be higher than a GTX 1080 at 9 teraflops.According to the leak, Sony’s PS5 is aiming higher than Google Stadia’s 10.7 teraflop GPU. Not only the PS5, but Microsoft’s next Xbox codenamed Lockhart is also said to be gunning for the same target GPU.The information comes from Kotaku’s Jason Schreier, who is a trusted source on industry insider knowledge. Schreier further claimed that both next-gen consoles are set to launch next year.If this turns out to be legit, PSVR 2 could be a real contender and I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft decides to jump in as well. https://digiworthy.com/2019/03/29/next-xbox-ps5-teraflops-stadia/
