I'd rather have a No Home Option as this kind of thing is a Social App.

That sucks!  Now I'll have to wait even longer to finish my custom watercooling loop as I'll have to head back to Home to play with proper locomotion, pimping my Avatar, then looking out for any friends who I can invade visit.

And then there is still the outing in SkyrimVR with Mjoll calling out to me too...

Oh Woe! 😛

It's becoming just another social platform.

This stuff should be completely separate, but launchable, from within a more basic VR UI.

Dear Oculus, If it ain't broke, don't fix it, please.

Are you kidding me??? I just rolled out of PTC, and now I want to join in again xD!
Well, I'll just wait because I'm scared of performance issues right now... But I'm glad that multiplayer is already here! And being able to share Oculus Desktop? That's an awesome surprise!!!

@Richooal : All this is optional, so I don't see where the problem is. That said, if you don't want to go through Home, you can just launch the VR app from your desktop.

Anyone actually managed to invite someone to their home? The friends option doesn't show anyone underneath it, and all my friends homes no longer show up. My favourites list has also been wiped.

Just talked to a mate via party chat, and the same has happened to him - there doesn't appear to be any functional way for either of us to invite the other person (yes, homes are set to public).

The new update appears to give you headset tracking too, walking in a straight line (nothing stronger than cola so far today...) and looking to left or right moves you in that direction!

Nice one Devs B)
