If anyone wants to buy Adr1ft on Steam, you can ask for a Oculus Home key by writing an email to support@505games.com.

They've been so good with their estimates.

Interesting. That's about as much room as I'll have if not more so this is good to see.

I don't have my Rift yet, but I had to run Steam as an Admin in order for the Oculus Store to work with the Steam Controller.
Cool. As long as it works...

I got screwed over with the credit card glitch, who knows when I will get it. I am super jealous.
So what is a good first ever VR experience. I want to take it easy, not a game yet. Something to simply feel immersed. With all the free stuff available what do you dev kit guys recommend.

The important thing that we don't know yet, though, is if you can import individual game .exes into Steam so you can configure the controls. I suppose you'll also have to configure them out of game first, since the Steam overlay won't work in-game.

Just played Luckys tale on the DK2.
THIS IS A NEW BEGINNING TO THE PLATAFORM GENRE.

I didnt have a devkit, but from all the things I tried out the New Retro Arcade was one of the best experiences I had.

I get this every time I try to install:

Can anyone that has received their CV1 answer this for me?
How do the game pack-ins arrive and get enabled (Lucky's Tale and EVE)?
Here is my problem: I made my Oculus ID with DK1/2 and I never intended on it being my "Oculus Name" that friends see. We are not allowed to change our Oculus ID. So if I just create a new account, will I still be able to have Eve and Lucky's tale on that account or is it tied to the account I ordered with?
I don't want to start pre-loading games on a new account if everything doesn't transfer over.
Thanks!

Did you uninstall the previous runtime and sensor driver (if you had a DK1/2 already hooked up)? I did so before I installed the new one just as a precaution, as I thought maybe the process already running would interfere with the new runtime installation.

Well, it will probably be this year.

It seems like every new account gets Lucky's Tale, and Eve Valkyrie is an e-mail code that you have to manually punch in anyways.
So you should be good.

I didn't have the old runtime installed.
My Rift hasn't been delivered yet (should be here today), but I got an email with a code to redeem for EVE this morning.
Not sure how Lucky's Tale is being delivered.

Lucky's Tale should already be in your Library.
Just chiming in to say that I'm having the same issue. Did a restart and it's still occurring. Doubled checked if I had any oculus stuff installed but I had redone my computer so there's none of it on there. Not sure what to do.

"Not sure how Lucky's Tale is being delivered."
Lucky's Tale is already free in the store for everyone, no purchase/code necessary.

my cake, fuck off
How easy is it to have a delivery rerouted to a ups store? I'm worried it will come when I'm at work.

So how is mouse and keyboard support? Can you play controller games with them, or is the xbox pad mandatory for most (exclusive) games?
My Rift is arriving today, and I have to make a choice about a new GPU to replace a 7970. I'm leaning towards an eVGA 970 since the step-up program might end up saving the day if new cards are launched soon, but I'm wondering if there are any benefits to going the 390 route instead. Is there any reason to avoid the 970?
CyberPunked
Member
Yeah, I restarted and the result is the same.

This is what I'm interested in hearing about. Games and genres that VR enhances. Can't wait to hear more and try it for myself!
The 390s extra RAM may come in handy.

I am asking myself exactly this. Half want to just head home "sick" after lunch lol.
Nooooo.... Is it not possible to invoke this via steam? Like Origin games?

Giant Bomb are loving Lucky's Tale. Which is no surprise really. I think this is going to really impress people who are kind of sleeping on what a traditional game might be like in VR.
Apparently this is the fix. Trying it out right now.

edit: That did the trick.
So their shipping preorders soon, possibly Wednesday. But they can't tell anyone when their preorder is shipping because they don't know. This is the biggest breakdown of logic since the plot of Donnie Darko. My guess is they don't know where anyone's place in line is until they start dinging $600 against a cc. What a cluster of poor logistics.

I'm reading lots of positive comments/impressions/reviews about it, which is curious as almost everyone kind of ignored it in 2015.
----
From what I'm reading in reviews, the software side of Oculus still have to improve
-Only can be installed in C:, as commented already
-Non-functional friend list. You can't talk to them? And Oculus games doesn't seem to access the list for matchmaking, etc.
-Games can't be downloaded while you are playing another one.
-Games can't be fully installed in the VR Oculus Home, there is final step that has to be done in the monitor/mouse.

I guess we'll see! I mean, it might work?
You can get a free Oculus Store code on the Frontier site.
You can get a key from Frontier that should allow you to get the game in the Oculus store if you already own a copy. That's how it worked for the Steam version of Elite at least.

Go to your account on the Elite Dangerous site, somewhere you can get a key for the Oculus Home version.
Thanks!
I just installed mine and it went like a breeze. no problems at all.
