When I first bought the rift, I was using oculus runtime 6.0.1. All of my installed applications worked.
Since 7.0 and later, my older applications no longer work. I have spent the past several hours trying to get them to work.
Here's what I did:
Uninstalled runtime+components, restarted. Installed 6.0.1, restarted pc again. Tried messing with unplugging monitors, tried the whole uninstall/reinstall thing over again.
When I run a demo in direct-to-rift mode, it crashes automatically. When I run any of my games from the .exe, the head tracking clearly works, as I see what I should on my pc end, but I get an orange light and nothing on my Oculus Rift.
I should point out the demo scene works perfectly.
Any ideas? My installed programs used to work with 6.0.1, but now they don't.
