Yeah, the unpredictable shipping on both is incredibly annoying. It may be silly since I will almost certainly get both in April, but I am half tempted to just cancel both orders, add VR, oculus, vive to my hide forum thread list, and come back in 6 months when they are more easily available.

Look at this; Adr1ft performance. There are lots of spots where the frame drops and makes you sick.
980Ti + i7 2700K 4.5ghzs + Windows 10 + 16GB Ram
Do you guys think it's because my CPU is not matching Oculus' standard? CPU It's only at 29% usage in the picture.
I'm not using a CV1, I have a DK2.
How is it running for you?

I tried Luckys tale sitting and standing, but I actually found sprawling myself onto the nice carpet to be the best way to play it, cross legged like I kid playing with toys.
I can feel anchored when the camera (very gently) moves about and still place myself in and around the scene, crawling through passages and whatnot.

You do know that Vive is having their own issues with shipping. Also, Oculus has been shipping Rifts out since last Wednesday. Both headsets are now shipping. Both are having their issues.

Adr1ft works great for me. GTx 980, i7 5930K 16 gigs of ram.Look at this; Adr1ft performance. There are lots of spots where the frame drops and makes you sick.

And as i said i would I checked. Project Cars bought from the Oculus store has no play on desktop mode.

I have encountered my first boss in Chronos (
) and at first sight it was really daunting and put some tension in me. A Souls game would feel almost overwhelming in VR.
I have died several times right now (one hit kill). Is the challenge as straight forward as it seems or?...

If it's the first time you've seen him, you're not supposed to fight it yet.
I actually need a hint for what to do next if you have it. I would guess it's to
but I have no real clue.
I don't really know of many loose threads to explore at this point:
edit: I found a video walk-through. That was it? I tried a couple of times but didn't seem to have enough time. https://youtu.be/4nLs_hW1G1o?t=851
get Cyclops to kick something?

One door needs a keycard and another needs a key. I have a flame ability but can't remember something that can be ignited.

You need to sleep on it. Always works for Dark Souls.
Anyone else have had Chronos go dark on them? It has happened to me three times so far and takes down both HMD and monitor. I have to force a system reboot each time. edit: It might simply be that my PC is overclocked too much. Got various artifacts on my fourth crash just now. Clocked it back a bit.
Often very true for Souls.

I know.
Nothing for anyone today? Come on, man... I just want to stop trying to weigh options in theory and finally try one of these damn things.
Im just gonna go to sleep and hope i dream.

Hours vary for when they start to process. They did some Australia orders a couple of hours ago. I hope that isn't all for tonight. Maybe after midnight.

I keep getting my hopes up when an email rolls in. This time it was Dropbox; before that it was some EA customer survey. This is pretty much the last day for it to go out for me to have a proper weekend with the thing. Fingers crossed. They must still be incredibly busy though. I've seen no real activity on Twitter.

Shouldn't be.
I have a KS CV1 and connected it with HDMI to Mini HDMI Adapter. No problems or added latency at all
Enordash

Yea, HDMI to mini HDMI should be fine. They do claim that it's a bad idea to adapt to a different input type though.
Edit: For people that have played games like Lucky's Tale, Chronos and AirMech, is your neck constantly craned downward? Seems like it would be a real pain after a short period of time.

That's pretty disappointing to hear. It sounds like we can't even correctly judge the progress on orders since they keep jumping around and focusing on individual regions.
The Elite
BOSS
That seems to be the way they're handling it. At first they were handling even Canada/US separately but now they seem to be lumped together. Then there seem to be people they have completely skipped between the start of preorders and five minute mark.
I may go mad trying to make sense of it all. Better to just say it's going to come when it comes at this point.

I really hate it because every bit of bad news I get about this launch makes me consider the competition that much more.
Defeated the first boss in Chronos. Game has provided a handful of memorable moments so far. One of my favorites is hinted at in trailers but just extra nice to see in person as it is very convincing. It is when
you shrink in size and you go fight wind-up soldier-toys in a bookshelf while giant full-size troopers walk in the room outside.
If you have the master key, I think it was through a door just before the talking tree room. On the wall in one of the rooms in the area leading to the painting.

Everything I am hearing about this game is getting more and more excited. I didn't even have it on my launch radar a while ago.

A Vive blog just went up detailing issues and FAQs. Oculus should follow suit. I suppose their apology email was better than nothing though.
I agree that it's going to be hard to market some VR games. I can personally say that the first time I saw Lucky's Tale I was incredibly unimpressed. Now, after dwelling on it for a while, it's one of my most anticipated games to play.

Seems the vive is having launch issues itself, unless you meant PS VR.

Guess I'm not following that launch as closely.
Is that the larger shield? I found it on a wall in the dining hall where there's a spear enemy. It isn't far from the door that you unlock after defeating the cyclops.

They've got months to build and stockpile products. It should not be an issue for them.
The Elite
BOSS
Oculus claimed to have a stockpile as well. It's always a problem in the first week or two of an anticipated product. Preorders will be filled for most and there will be short delays for the rest. Standard console style launch I would imagine.
Anyway:
That Reddit rumor posted last week about faulty lens sure seems pretty legit at this point, so I could totally believe that they *did* have a stockpile. Problem was that there were issues contained within.
But it's all speculation at this point, obviously.

The lens thing was admitted to be an April Fool's prank.
Hm, wonder what it actually is then? From the little official communication we got, that prank didn't seem too far off the mark (just not the lens, I guess?).

A component shortage.
I do find the way they can only process one country at a time a little odd as well. There might be some truth to processing issues.
More specifically meant "which component?" but it's all going to be speculation anyway, so probably wasn't worth asking.
