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.

It works ok, but when you leave it long enough for the controller to switch off it doesn't connect again, it just flashes then turns off. I had an Xbox Elite controller and wireless dongle before I got my Rift, worked fine before I installed the Oculus software. I'm fairly certain it is a known issue too.


I have that too. Also before 1.16. I have to replug the xbox-controller to get the gamepad recognized and on again.

As a workaround you can open Oculus system menu with the Oculus Remote controller and turn on XBox Gamepad while menu active. Gamepad won't switch off if enabled within menu.

Anyone else got a very bright menu/loading screen after 1.16?
Brightness is up too much..
It's the screen that comes up when you press the oculus button on remote and also the one that says please wait while your game is loading..

I have the same problem, loading is almost blinding.

The new firmware broke my Oculus multiplayer. Can play single player games but now multiplayer games say can't connect to store and Dragon Front throws up Error 923.

Just updated, now Dirt Rally main menu looks like it's "snowing", seems to have been mentioned before. Please fix!


Same issue for me, haven´t found a way to roll-back either 😞

I have not been "in VR" for 2 days and it d/l 1.16 two days ago and today I saw it. Is it normal that the fire from the classic home is gone?

I saw that and thought that the fire is out because it is summer
