1.16 Rift Release Notes

  • Features:
    • Mixed reality capture: We've begun adding support for developers who want to create videos and content that merges live footage of people using Rift and Touch with VR footage from their apps. It may be a little while before you see the end results, since mixed reality requires developers to take several steps including updating their apps and setting up an extra Touch controller as a trackable VR Object before recording the footage, but we're excited about the future.
    • Oculus apps and software updates: We redesigned the interface and the technical process for updates to give you more information and control over each update. You'll have access to release notes to find out what's new in each update, and the interface is now clearer and easier to use.
    • Issue reporting: You can now report an issue directly from within the Oculus software, to help us make future improvements. Note that you should still contact Oculus Support directly if you're having an ongoing issue.
    • Environments: Environments change the look of Oculus Home. The next time you enter Oculus Home after updating the Oculus software, you'll see the new Cityscape environment. If you wish, you can switch back to the Classic Oculus Home, and we'll be adding more environments later.
    • Friends: If your friends choose to let you know, you'll now see whether your Oculus friends and Facebook friends are using Rift or Gear VR.
    • Language support: You'll now be able to choose one of four supported languages when initially setting up Rift and Touch.
    • Oculus Store: We've started supporting 360º-only content. We'll tell which games are 360º-only, and even alert you if you're about to purchase this content and we don't recognize your setup to have 360º tracking configured. Also added full-screen screenshots for apps.
  • Bug fixes:
    • Oculus software on your computer: Fixed an issue with window scaling.

The roll out happens over a several day period and this is normal.

New Oculus Update definitly broke Elite Dangerous. Since this Update just black screen with Rift. Game runs, menu works, you can hear the menu feedback. But black screen.

If you are having issues with Elite, can you upload your LogGatherer zip?

Though you are more than slightly incoherent, I agree with you Madam,

During our latest PC software update rollout, we discovered a minor bug impacting some graphics performance. Affected users will be reverted back to 1.15 while we finish testing the fix, and we'll report back on status here. Thanks for your patience!

Can you expand on which users have been affected, just for kicks?

So if you're already on the beta channel, should your routine be to stay on the beta channel after official updates finally roll out of beta to everyone, or should I go back to the main (stable) branch now for a bit?

You can stay in the beta channel if you want. Once an official release comes out, you will get that until the next beta period.
