Hello Guys, Im still facing problem with direct HMD.
My OVR only runs on extend desktop and even trying to execute direct to rift.exe with direct HMD access, the app crashes, the OVR (already being recognized inside the config tool), simply stays on orange... no signal.
When I change to extend desktop, the signal flows to blue.
Do you guys have any direction on what could cause this situation?
I'm having the exact same issue on a Windows 8.1, MSI GT70 laptop with GTX780M (optimus). Extended mode works absolutely fine. Direct mode produces an orange light on the HMD with no signal. All direct-to-rift apps that ive tried just crash unfortunately.
I had the same problem, solved it by setting my 2nd and 3rd monitor to "Disconnect this Display" in windows (8.1) Screen Resolution panel and only having Main monitor (res. irrelevant) active as the rift is in direct mode and doesn't show up. After that I could launch Direct Rift mode by right clicking the DirectToRift.exe and clicking "Open On Oculus Rift".
Thanks for the advice. 🙂 I don't have a 2nd (or 3rd) monitor to begin with. Only my main monitor and the Rift.
Or do I understand your advice incorrectly and are you suggesting I should extend my monitor with the Rift (in the rift control panel?) and then disconnect the display (the rift) in the windows screen resolution panel? (and then move back to direct to HMD? in OR Panel?)
Everything was working fine for me, WIn 7 x64 with gtx 770.
Now after having to wipe my system and start afresh I cannot get any direct to rift apps to work. The demo scene works and extended works, but all direct to rift apps crash.
There must be an answer to this software wise as it was working for me before with exactly the same components, this is now just a fresh install.
Hi guys I'm getting a similar problem I can get most apps to work in extended but some are starting on the main monitor and I'm unable to drag them across as they start maximized. My computer doe's not seem to like setting the rift as primary monitor. so any help would be great.
Although I find it strange that Sightline VR Jam will work but Sightline The Chair displays on my monitor
My Rift used to work Direct, but lately I've had to use extended, which is annoying since switching it on often crashes applications when the windows switch. Firefox tends to lose all its icons, and Unity 3D just gives me a black screen after switching. Maybe it is my dual card setup, investing in a new single card setup soon.
Have tried various things, such as switching modes back and forth. One thing I noticed - when the Oculus content appears on the monitor it is very laggy - like 1 fps unless I use -force-d3d11
Looks like my issue is related to my multi-monitor setup - specifically having a second monitor connected to the second card. For a while I was only using a single monitor so I could take advantage of SLI. Hopefully a single card that supports three or four monitors will resolve my issue.
Hi guys I'm having an issue with the direct to rift mode not working. I was trying with iracing. It would detect the rift and open up a window on my primary monitor, the head tracking would work but no picture in the rift, light stayed orange. I went to try the demo scene and it crashes the config utility. tried all my other demo's that used to mostly work in direct mode but they all crash as well now.
