Yup, you have to do that before launching the game on Steam.
I hope Elite is updated to work in direct mode. As far as I can tell, extended makes it impossible for others to see what's happening while direct mode will often mirror the Rift's display on your monitor. It's hard to explain how to play a space sim without seeing the screen!
Pretty much this. Lol I can try to help my friends out who've tried it, but if I don't see what they see I can't help much.

I cannot get Technolust to recognize the rift. I keep getting a 'no sensor detected' message when it starts.
Technolust is the only demo I haven't been able to get running. I get an image on the rift but no headtracking and its framed way too high so half the image is cut off.
It worked fine for me. Directions here:

It's actually one of the only demos that ran perfectly for me so far. Everything else is a juddery mess. Technolust was amazing though.
Try creating a shortcut to the direct to Rift versions and right click, click properties. Add -force-d3d11 to the end of the target. It appears to have alleviated some issues on my part.

Are the lenses made of glass or plastic ?
OMG, Thank You so much for this!!
I just tried it with the Helix Roller Coaster and it turned it from a stuttery mess into a perfectly smooth experience.
If you're having issues, try it out people! Gonna go test with other demos now.

Yup, awesome! That just worked for me as well. Just swam around in OceanRift - 100x better without the judder - it was making me nauseous.
I wish I didn't have to work now... I want to try. Had a great time with Ocean Rift even with the judder- though I didn't last long.
Oh crap, maybe this will fix my problems with stutter/judder that are messing these things up. Will try!
Couldn't tell if it was smoother. Maybe a little. Still stuttered when moving my head a lot. I think I just have framerate problems with OceanRift, which seems odd since the graphics are so simple. In fact a lot of these demos have really really simple graphics but the framerates are awful. Guess it's just because they lack optimization?

What option do you need to select in the oculus service manger to achieve this?
Also what's the difference between lenses A & B., I've tried both but can't notice a difference, I'm slightly short sighted and have glasses but for stuff like reading and close up stuff like 8 ft and less I don't need the glasses, so I don't wear them with the rift.
Actually i don't think i have judder issues. What i have is the screen being blurry while moving the head, i mean not a lot but you can feel it.
I don't knowif this is normal and this should still be there with the dk2 or not.
But no judder i think for most games launching in direct mode. Using a gtx770.

If you need glasses for reading then you are long sighted and should be using standard/A cups.
Sorry, i DONT need glasses for read and close up stuff!!, so which lenses should i be using?

poop meter feature creep
I'm planning on trying out a STEM pack on my head with the DK2 for positional tracking, but I heard that it wouldn't work very well. Why wouldn't it exactly? An email from Sixense mentioned using it as an option, and even has pictures of it.
I just want the option of tracking my head without a wonky, narrow view camera system.
HMDs with STEM Pack attached to deliver advanced position tracking for calibration-free VR body presence. We will release a CAD file of the mounting fixtures (on the lower right), so that you can incorporate custom mounts to existing devices.

I thought the camera-based systems like the DK2 positional tracker are way more accurate than sensor-based systems like STEM, or does STEM utilize some special technology?

All I know is that they use some form of magnetism, but I don't really understand how it works. But if they claim it allows for head tracking, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Ok I did. Yep this game is crazy! I setup my x52 pro as well. So good.

Can't you choose which screen the taskbar displays on?

A useful shortcut:
Shift+Win+left/right arrow key
It will move the currently selected window to the other display.

Are you sure that the head tracking is working? I noticed a lot of judder in the few demos I tested until I fixed my camera (which wasn't actually turning on).
How did you fix this? I still have a problem getting my camera to stay on. It works in config demo and helix and finally got it working in elite (although with elite the camera led doesnt light up) But I couldnt get it to work with radial-g last night
How can you tell if the camera is on? Blue light? I think mine's on so that's not the problem.

What are the lesser resource intensive games that show off the rift well. For those not so beefy setups?

Is getting stutter/judder in extended mode normal? Everytime I go to record a game with it in extended mode it gets far less smooth

This isn't from experience but I hear the Radial G demo is very well optimized performance wise. Bummer their kickstarter didn't succeed tho
Nope. Does nothing for me.
IN the many problems encountered, i have to note the pc screen preview is often not there, with just a windowed white screen in place.
I had my first cobaye for the Oculus. A friend tested many demos. I was surpised cause from my impressions, it felt like the whole people screaming and falling came from the fact that they were standing, and being comfortably sitting on a chair with a stable back avoided such spectacle.
But it seems not
He almost fell from the chair actually, when trying cyber space. I had to stop it.

I just hit ALT+ Enter and it goes to fullscreen without any of that stuff

Yep, I had to look up how to do this the other day because I kept having to plug my monitor back in during some troubleshooting.

war thunder with x52 pro is pretty good. It doesn't seem to do fully position tracking, like I can't move head in to line up with the planes machine gun sights
Soo good. Even without the Rift, the game can get addicting.
