Did you mean: 

Please let us disable or dismiss "Your computer doesn't meet Rift's recommended specifications"

Yes I get it, my i7 3770 is like 1 percent worse than the recommended i5 but that doesn't mean it's not VR ready.  It's not like i'm running an Intel Pentium 4.

Please, this message is very annoying and ruins the complete look and feel of Oculus Home for me and others.

Even people on Reddit are starting to complain about it and it will only get worse once more people receive their Rifts and start to download the software https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/4d6gt1/stop_telling_me_im_unworthy/

I understand that you guys want people to be aware of how their VR experience could be poor if they aren't using at least the minimum recommended specs and that's why i'm not advocating to remove the message entirely, but to at least let the user dismiss or hide it once they've acknowledged it.

I know it's not one of those ground breaking bugs high on your radar but it would be nice to know at least that it's on the "to do" list of thing to address.

Thanks!

Should be nice if someone could make a bat file for that.

Here's a bat file that does the same as the reg file, again just change txt to bat

@Mace404, great minds think alike... our bats aren't exaclty the same thank goodness or people would accuse me of stealing!

I tried the registry edit.  It worked once, then never worked again.  And yes, I was running it every time before starting up Oculus Home.

As a matter of fact, I downloaded the compatibility checker and it even gave me the all green, but Oculus Home wasn't having it!  😞

I would think the message has to be there to protect oculus from the lawsuit by the first soccer-mom who's 12 year old vomits from using the rift on a toaster.

It's there to protect the children yall.

@water_ - That's all fine and dandy, but Oculus should allow us the option to disable it.  They can even popup a message stating that by clicking on this, we agree to not blame Oculus for any problems that may occur, yada yada yada...  Something along those lines.  That's just my opinion.
