Hi Ross,

do you at least see the player menu when hitting a controller button?
And are you able to jump to different sections in the timelime (even if it doesn't play)?

If it is does not even play with other third party players, even the lower-res version from the beta option, then it is most likely a codec issue.
You have tried installing the K-Lite codec pack?
Might be also that you have one of those rare WIN7 K/N versions where the Media Foundation framework is missing, in which case you need this: https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=16546

An lastly what graphics card are you using?

Thanks,
Marc

I got it sorted in the end, i think the codec pack fixed it. Audio only comes out of one headphone playing it through the regular launcher but works perfect using deovr. Absolutely incredible experience so thank you.

Glad it worked for you!
Never had or heard about the audio issue you described, but thanks for reporting.

Have a good day,
Marc

Ross, try Mermaid VR, it's free and is working incredibly well... just curious as you seemed to have issues like I did... DeoVR did work but very choppy for me. Mermaid is butter smooth.

I get the same problem. I opted in beta for windows 7 and tried the codec pack but it still doesn't work.

Hi! The reduced beta version should work on every workstation, it even runs on mobile headsets like Oculus Go or GearVR - some people reported issues with Radeon cards though, even after installing the K-Lite codecs. What's your setup?

Thanks,
Marc

I'm using valve index VR, windows 7 and a PC that meets the recommended specs (core i5-4670k + Geforce 980Ti). Windows 7, index VR and my graphics card are up using the latest software updates.

Okay, if you don't have a WIN7 K/KN version that lacks the Media Foundation framework, I'm a bit clueless then. If you didn't already, I can only recommend you to try with third party players as described in the pinned FAQ thread. If none those play it, my best guess would still be a codec issue.
