Hello guys. I got a Oculus Rift CV1, first version of VR headset 2016 y in a perfect condition.
Comming in a big black box without touch controllers.
Right now I want to connect it into my PC,  but I dont know how to do that. There is no instruction and drivers on a meta site. Maybe they hidden from a customers?
Thats not to easy how can be

Meta were on a renaming spree, so it got a little more confusing.

The software you want is the Oculus Desktop App, which is here: https://www.oculus.com/download_app/?id=1582076955407037

The website calls it the Meta Quest App, but the same program handles all headsets (Rift CV1, Rift-S, and Quests using Link/Airlink).

It's been a LONG time since I've set up a Rift CV1 without Touch controllers, so I don't know if things have changed. Back then the CV1 came with an XBox controller and a little remote (I really liked the remote, it was handy). I think you'll need one of those to finish the setup. But as I said, been a while since I tried. 🙂

 

In case you do decide to get Touch later (most VR games these days need them), the CV1 isn't compatible with any motion controller besides the CV1 Touch. The controllers from Quests don't work with it. So finding them is rather hard these days.

You need to plug the headset into your graphics card HDMI port and USB port then plug the sensors into your USB ports, set it up with the Occlus Software

I have a problem.

After I reboot  I get HDMI error. Marked like a red label.

I resolve this problem if I unplug and plug USB cable in a different port. Each time I do this is much hard for me.
I have 2 USB3 port, all other USB2.

Right now I have a new problem.

Rift connected into HDMI. Monitor connected into VGA.
After I push power up I get a bios picture correctly, win10 start loading, but after loading I get a black screen.
I can connect my monitor via HDMI and everething works fine, exept goggles. I cant connect Rift becaue HDMI port is allready used by monitor. Win10 via VGA show me black screen only.

I have RX 580 8gb

Hey again! Thank you for reaching back out! So that we can have a better idea of this new issue that you are having, please let us know the following:

 

  • Are you able to see the display in your headset at all when it is connected to the HMDI port on your PC?
  • If so, is the issue that you cannot see your monitor when it is connected to your PC via the VGA port?

We look forward to hearing back from you, and working towards a solution as quickly as possible.
