I'm not denying the fact you're having problems, but just because some people are having issues doesn't mean it wasn't ready for release.
There's a whole lot of people over on Reddit who're playing the game without issue. It worked for me on the first try as well. I'm sure the issue will get resolved. You can't just sit around and complain though. Report the issue and provide whatever information is requested to help track down the cause of this problem. Don't take for granted that the problem can be fixed without your help.
Should also note that this is still in beta. Says so right in the title of the game.
Because all software works under every configuration, without issues. Right?
It's absolutely impossible for any PC based development team to test against every possible system configuration. There are simply way too many variables. Even closed systems, like consoles, can have their own challenges.
Ok, at work. I just tried it again on my laptop and it runs fine. I just built a tower to the clouds and jumped off, feels pretty good on the cv1. 🙂
My laptop (yes, one of the rare magical laptops that actually has less issues running vr than my desktop does) is already windows 1511. Minecraft worked first go.
I wonder if the windows 1511 thing is the reason it took me hours and had to download drivers from the MS catalog site to get the rift's xbox one adapter working, while my laptop already had the drivers.
No, that's not true. You don't have to buy anything twice.
You can download the base Minecraft VR game from the Oculus Store for Free. Then, make sure you are logged into your Microsoft account on your computer. The Oculus version of the game will check if you already purchased Minecraft on the Windows Store and should download the IAP without any additional charge. Or you can purchase the IAP from within the Oculus app and it will sync with your Windows account.
Hope that makes sense.
It still require to buy minecraft twice in my case. I owned Minecraft win10 beta before i play it in VR (paid minecraft, not trial) and had it installed and working before i launch it in VR. But Oculus home still asking me to pay a second minecraft on oculus store. And i m not allowed to play more than 90 minutes in VR. I m connected to my win 10 store account in the same time and it confirm that i own the game and it is install on my system but Oculus home dont see it and ask to buy it again and again. There is some kind of communication between the two because if i change the skin in the non VR app it will be changed in the VR app also. But the communication inst working when its about paying a second time on Oculus Home !
Can someone please tell me, is it mandatory that I must have a Microsoft Account to download and play this from the Oculus Home store ? Is there any possible way to simply buy the game via Oculus Home and have it all working just from there ?
It does seem like another rushed job from Microsoft, heaped on top of the non-working xbone controller fiasco which still has not been fixed.
Apparently this is the same thing, even though its a totally different issue I'm not aloud to make a new thread.
MY BAD.
Fix your crap guys.
Fix your comment dude!
Anyways ^__^ work for me first run/try no problems at all. Though, the head movement got me kind of car sick, so I did turn that off as a default option. After that - the game was a new take of minecraft lol. The only thing is - its the MS version vs the old version I had so I didn't have any work I could look at, but over all it was really neat!
