The latest release has just hit PTC — here’s what you can expect. The updates for this month center on the new Rift Core 2.0 beta! In addition to the usual channels, we're introducing UserVoice as a way to organize feedback and suggestions (visit the Oculus blog to learn more). Don't forget you can log bugs right from the reporting tool in Rift. Thanks for testing!

Show off your accomplishments in VR with achievement elements.
Oculus desktop app:
Redesigned user interface provides improved top-level navigation and a dark theme to make things easier on your eyes.

faster access to your recent VR apps
more social features, including seeing which multiplayer and social apps your friends are playing, as well as ways to connect with people you may know or have met in VR
@cybereality I have high hope‘s for this new update. I’m hoping this will alleviate some of my issues. I will test it when I get home but I’m glad it says that it addresses Nvidia driver issues. Thank you!! When I get home today from work I will let you know how it went.
Whoa this is very cool!!! Lot of options, moving things around, bringing desktop into VR! I wish the audio was a little louder for the background music.
Can you describe in more detail what issues you are having with the sensors? Do you get any error messages? Can you record a video of the problem? Also, feel free to submit a support ticket here: https://support.oculus.com/
@cybereality It's not working for me, when i do the Full Setup i'm stuck at ( Continue in Your Headset ) step, because when I put it on, doesn't turn on. I have an Nvidia GTX 980 updated at 388.43 version.
Not seeing the Dash overlay in any apps for some reason. Opening it exits the app. I don't have any of the known issues with hardware configs as far as I know.
