Short story. I took my computer and DK2 around to a friends house to demo to a few people but upon trying to launch content i realized there was a problem. I tried for 2 hours to fix it before throwing in the towel and installing Oculus run-time on my friends computer and I all worked fine & they all had a blast.
But a week later I still cannot get the DK2 to activate or detect correctly anymore, I can see the Oculus camera looks fine and is detected correctly, Blue led and all. But the DK2 will not be detected in the windows section where you select your primary monitor,Or device manager and I have had 3 BSOD with the RiftEnabler.sys but I know the DK2 is not faulty as its displaying the POST on system start up and my main monitor is staying in standby longer on boot like the 2 are confused as to who is the main monitor
Thing I have tried. system restore. re-installinfg Oculus runtime and drivers. switching USB ports. re-installed graphics drivers. Installed the latest 4.3 runtime = test scene window not freezing on start anymore. BUT really laggy and HMD still in standby mode/not turning on.
Problem Identified, I tried a DVI to HDMI cable i had lying around In the the secondary DVI port on my graphics card & plugged the HDMI end in to the DK2 and it works. Now all I have to do is figure out if my rifts HDMI cable is faulty Which i belive its not, or the HDMI port on my GPU is messed up. Update:2 Just found this little nugget of info
The HDMI shares the clock with one of the DVI port and therefore will not work simultaneously. Therefore, use the other DVI port in the graphics card to connect your Dell.
Changed it over and everything is good as new 😄 Could have swore I tried this already but NVM.
