Is DK2 support added back yet? IPD settings?

Save games are not affected from uninstalling ?

They *are* affected, unless I'm mistaken. The support article is about backing up the game/app data I think?

Please remember that you may not get the update immediately. It can take a few days to get to everyone.

Also, uninstalling the Oculus app will remove all your games and downloaded content. Saved games should remain, but may depend on how the developer implemented this feature. 

EDIT: You can download the new setup installer to install to different drives, even if you are still on 1.3.1. Sorry for the confusion.

Surely the installer should always be the most recent version, no?

Luckily, it was for me, since I just did it before you posted.

No, it does not. That's what I'm saying. A small portion of users will receive the update immediately. The rest will have to wait until it automatically updates (which will happen over the next few days). Uninstalling/reinstalling does not change the situation.

EDIT: So I was a little confused. The new 1.3.2 features are rolled out slowly, as I said. However, the "install to other drives" feature is available to anyone that downloads the new setup file here:

atleast chronos savegame is there, nothing else is more important. Everything went well. Just annoying to "finish install" all apps again

Fair enough and good to know, lucky for me I didn't waste my time :smile:

No different than platforms like steam.. that does a first time setup too after restoring from a backup etc...

Now.. for something else 😉

Oculus needs a way to re-verify downloaded files, like steam / elite dangerous / other digital platforms have.. because I just messed up and my bandwidth is about to pay for it 😞

I forgot stupidly decided to skip the redistributable folder.  So whilst I have the GB's of apps and their manifest files, I dont have the shared redistributables.  Since they are already installed, I didn't think I would need them.. (stupid me) and now I can't finish the install for anything, I just get "Couldn't Install, visit Oculus support for help'

Awesome, I've been waiting for this! Still confused as to why the manually downloaded installer wouldn't be the latest build for everyone--this a very peculiar way to distribute software.

Anyway, no worries here--I don't have my CV1 for a few more weeks, so I'll just give it a few days.

I'm just glad there's a way to copy the content folders so I don't have to re-download everything. I've been holding off on buying games from the Oculus Store until I could install them to my preferred drive.
