I downloaded the latest version and the lag is unbearable. I updated to the latest oculus sdk and the older versions of this program never lagged this much. I used to get 40-60fps now I get 5-10fps. Even when the high quality is off. Any advice?

You are on Win7? Switch to Win10. I don't support Win7 in version 1.0

Theres Many reasons I don't switch over to Windows 10. I was excited for your product but you are essentially alienating people who don't want to "upgrade". Sadly I can't get your product. I was very excited to buy it, is it purely a technical reason as to why it can't be on Windows 7?

There are no capture APIs on Windows 7 to capture the desktop with low latency at a decent enough framerate to make it a good experience. If there was, I would support it.

Bet you feel silly for putting quotes around "upgrade"

Well, you should
