SteamVR on the Rift

[ZachSny]

Super quick question for anyone who can help:

Is there a way to have SteamVR work with the CV1? If so, how would I go about doing this?

I think SteamVR is still stuck at 0.8 Runtime, you need to wait for Steam to update it

[ZachSny]

So do you think it will be possible in the future? Or are we stuck with Home only?

Not complaining about Home, just curious.

No no no, nobody is stuck anywhere :smile: , you just need to let Steam update it, give it a few days. SteamVR will work perfectly with CV1.

Every now and then Oculus will release a new SDK that will break compatibility with SteamVR , then Steam will update it again, and so on and so on :smiley:

chicken or the egg if you ask me :expressionless:

I think they said that from v1.0 and on, new releases won't break compatibility. For instance, when eventually a new 1.4 runtime is released, everything built with the 1.3 SDK will still run perfectly.
Correct me if I'm wrong, plz.

@crim3 I did hear that v1.0 and on won't break compatibility. They mentioned it at Connect 2:
