I'm sure that people are having this issue as well, but you've only waited ten hours for a response.
Also, if you'd like help, try posting in the "Community Support" thread. You'll have a lot more people that have ideas to help you there.
Facebook bought Instagram. How exactly did they ruin them?

Run my Oculus Service Manager utility, press Troubleshoot issue, and then send me the contents that it puts on your clipboard.

When I first ran the config manager I had the same issue.

I can't remember what I did, but it involved restarting the PC, manually switching to extended mode and then turn off extended mode... basically make lots of changes and hope it will "click".

Tried disabling the Rift monitor from the nVidia or AMD control panel first?

Tried all the listed things above.

i also tried to Re-Install the Catalyst driver... because over the google search i found that resolve.. but i didnt work for me 😞

hmm - it wouldnt bother me if all demos would work - but apparently the UE4 dont. They dont appear on the screen - and some of the Unity either.

hmmm

Hello! I've had the exact same issue for a week now and have not been able to find a fix for this. However on the bright side, all of the demo's still work correctly in extended mode, and just using the correct workarounds for each program (using directtorift executables, stoping the service in the task manager, etc). Hopefully the new SDK fixes will resolve this issue, as I do not know what else to try...

Just wanted to bump this topic as it doesn't seem like a fix was released with the new SDK. Any word on what is causing this?
