Starting the rollout of version 1.14 (PC software update for April)

Anonymous

Hey everyone,

We started the rollout of version 1.14, our PC software update for April.


This month we’ve continued to improve support for 3-sensor configurations, including a new guided setup process for three sensors. The Oculus app will also now automatically prompt you to update your setup if you plug in a third sensor.



One other big change is around Touch and existing gamepad games: with 1.14, you'll now be able to use Touch for many games and experiences that were previously gamepad only. The buttons and triggers will map to Touch controllers automatically, making it easier to switch between games with different inputs (Touch vs. gamepad). This doesn't mean gamepad apps will suddenly support tracked input or hand presence, but it makes using Rift more convenient. Apps that support this new feature will be marked with “Touch (as gamepad)” in the store.



As usual, we’ve also squashed plenty of bugs and made tweaks throughout, so thanks again for your feedback - it helps us improve Rift every month. You can check out the full patch notes here: https://ocul.us/releasenotes

Thanks!

Nate

Just me being OCD: Can you (or anyone) confirm the latest version number (full number), so we know if we have it, or are just on the latest Public Test Release?

If you are in the public test channel, then you should have the latest version already. No need to do anything. Thanks.

OK fix this plus add a Switch in OCULUS HOME to DISABLE ASW + NOT CAP to 45fps.

Jumps and Flashes are fixed by setting Affinity settings: -
Run ED then go to TASK MANAGER>DETAILS: Right-Click Affinity

ED64: cores 0-5 (this is the game Elite:Dangerous)
OculusVR: cores 6-7 (this file may be new in latest Public Test update)
OVRServer_64: cores 6-7

OCULUS must now code this so we do not require manual or autohotkey programs.

@MAC_MAN86 I've already shared your work-around with the engineering team and people are looking into it. Thanks.

@MAC_MAN86 - Just tried the affinity settings, definitely does not work for Robo Recall. Makes the game load really slowly, and play much worse than if all cores are running. Also makes touch tracking much, much worse. Maybe I'm an outlier though 😕

I can understand how setting the affinity for cores would work for certain games that don't rely heavily on OculusVR or OVRServer_64, but in the case of Robo Recall, it just doesn't work. Am I the only one?

Try different cores!

For me, while playing New Retro Arcade: Neon, I had to use Cores 4 and 6 for the OVR processes instead of 6-7. I actually just set cores 4-7 to the OVR processes and 0-3 to the game just to be safe and the intermittent "HMD Bounce" was gone.

I'm not sure if this is different system to system, game to game, or maybe the difference between Win7 or Win10.

Actually, I don't think the game has anything to do with it. What I did to figure this out was:

1. Load up the Oculus + home.
2. Open up Task Manager and find the OVRServer_64.exe
3. Disable 1 of the cores and click apply
4. Check perforamance result in Oculus Home
5. Repeat Steps 3-4 until Tracking/Framerate in Oculus home dies then re-enable that core and continue to disable others.

You should find there will be one core that will make tracking practically dead if you disable it regardless of what other cores are enabled.. and another that will reduce tracking performance if its disabled. For me, as soon as I dropped core 4, everything went to shit.. with only Core 4 on it worked but with poor performance (slow tracking update, black border visible when rotating), until I enabled core 6 then it all worked fine.

I got this set up without any games running, just Oculus Home .. which leads me to think that it is somehow based on System/CPU/Operating system or some other factor.
