Steam VR on Oculus Rift DK2

[Asgatoril]

Hi,

does someone know how can I use the DK2 with SteamVR? I have tried the latest stable and latest beta version of SteamVR, but when I start it, either via software -> SteamVR or with the shortcut at the top right, it only says, that my Vive, which i don't, have, is not connected. In the options I can't find a setting to switch from Vive to Oculus and the DK2 itself is showing no sign of activity (LED = yellow instead of blue and no picture).
Other games (outside of Steam) are working fine. Also the Oculusdriver is showing no problems at all.
I'm using the oculus runtime 0.8 at the moment, which should work according to: http://steamcommunity.com/games/250820/announcements/detail/101690269601026843

I'm thankful for any help :)

What?? I was playing steamvr on my dk2 perfectly just yesterday, that's impossible and steamvr not working with dk2 is like so last year... why in ♥♥♥♥ would they block the dk2 and still allow osvr? I'll report back as soon as I get a chance to use my home PC, which incicdentally windows 10 committed suicide during yesterday's windows update, blocking of dk2 would be icing on the ♥♥♥♥ cake. If worst comes to worst, get the OSVR platform running with your DK2 and use steamvr that way.

I'm developing with DK2. I had to reinstall the oculus client to mak eit work as it was not rendering to the HMD. Repairing the install did not work, unninstall and reinstall did work.

As other said I had the Tool--> SteamVR installed. In editor aswell as builds print to HMD now.

I'm running latest SteamVR integration and unlike others posted yes it works with DK2. What yes I noticed is that since a couple of days if headset goes out of sight of the camera stops rendering the game and puts you in some kind of 3D lobby... annoying.

Not sure if this is becaues of last update cause just started using it 48hours ago and was busy integrating. But I noticed that the image can get som kind of waterdrop effect, something as if was like rayning or so.... If it is true that they're moving away from DK2 that wo uld be a total drama, even narrowing further the availale VR users... Kmon!

nah steam wouldnt do that, not with openvr and osvr and everything... competition is a good thing

Here is a statement from the makers of Elite Dangerous, a game I purchased solely on its ability to play in VR from Steam 8 months ago plus enjoyed for 56hours and subsequently purchased the Horizon expansion.

Can I use an Oculus Rift DK2 in SteamVR?
"Unfortunately Oculus Rift development kits are not longer compatible with Steam VR so we are unable to support using Steam VR to play Elite Dangerous with the DK2."

All I can gather from this is that Steam was unable to get enough people to purchase their Vive super inflated priced product of $899 US so we will stick it to our loyal customers and force them to buy our product to play the games they have already purchased.

Good customer loyalty would be to have 2 versions of SteamVR. One for older systems and one for newer systems. Even though I think the new update was pupas fully made not to work for reasons I mentioned previously.

Good one Steam. They did not even mention this major change for SteamVR. Only way I found out was to spend 4 hours re-installing games, drivers etc...

Hope this post helps others not to have to screw around too much. Running Steam under Administrator dose not work, don't wast your time.

Why are you spreading lies!!?? I just launched Elite Dangerous and it works fine with my DK2!

this is by far the oddest troll ive ever seen almost as if a robot compiled it with 8 month old data...

I saw this on a other support Side.

SteamVR works here with my DK2.
I play DR and AC with no problems.
Steam/SteamVR is running the latest as is Oculus home 1.10.2
SteamVR needs Oculus home running.

Launch Steam ( not SteamVR )
Turn on DK2
Launch Oculus home
Aim dot in headset
Launch SteamVR
Aim dot in headset.

Launch your Steam VR game.

Maybe it wil work like this.
Please let me know, because I want to buy a DK2 to try, before I keep money aside for a expensive Vive of rift

You don't need to do specific order or something . It's just plug&play. I have no problems with my DK2. Playing , Assetto Corsa, PCars, Elite Dangerous, DCS World, Dirt Rally.

Does DK2 firmware need to be updated to work with SteamVR? Mine is currently on 2.12.

[Threepwood]

If something like that happens , it's automatic via the oculus store. Haven't done anything manual and have been using my DK2 since 0.4.4 sdk . Like I said never had problems. I don't have motion controllers so I don't know what happens with that sort of games.

you need oculus home/software installed
