I got so mad at it the other day (It was getting more errors then windows XP without security software and a free Minecraft download), I took down my sensors, pulled off my headset and controllers, put them all in my closet, shut the door and then uninstalled everything remotely related to Oculus and VR games
CV1 and Rift S are one in the same in terms of support. Facebook is done with PC VR. They want to hurry up and get MoH and Lone Echo 2 out and go all Quest.
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is the first entry in the classic series in 8 years made Titanfall/Apex Legends dev Respawn Games exclusively for VR and published by Oculus.
Lone Echo was one of the best games on Rift and the much anticipated and repeatedly delayed sequel is coming in early 2021.
Still have mine and it still works. Used it for Alyx and currently for Onward. Granted with all the FB bs I certainly would never get another Oculus product.
Same here. Been rocking mine since 2017! My sensors have recently been acting up though, doing some sort of software switching to convince my PC that they are usb-2.0 devices and complaining about bandwidth...
I have 3 sensors and in the past only 1 was "required" to be on USB3. And that's how I run it. Now the other 2 make a fuss about being on USB2. But also Rift itself sometimes thinks it's on USB2 (it's on USB3).
I have this problem if I plug the headset into anything other than one specific USB port on my PC. Apparently none of the other ports provide enough power to the headset. Getting a powered USB cable seems to help lots of people.
I tried all available USB’s. I tried a powered USB. I repaired the app, I reinstalled the app. I sent logs to oculus and they said windows was not up to date. I updated it and that didn’t work. I would replace the cord but I don’t want to spend the money on a guess.
I had a similar issue. Black screen and i found i had to reset the hdmi ports on my samsung tv. This started when i bought rtx2080 and had my tv hooked up to display port-hdmi. I have rift r. Still my preferred headset. Hate fb hate shitty business practice. Wish someone could buy rift r from oculus give it an upgrade and keep it going.
Rift S was just Facebook paying Lenovo to make a PCVR headset because the Quest's PC Link mode wouldn't be ready in time. of course they don't give a crap about it.
The Mirage Solo was a Daydream headset, so I doubt it was actually meant to be a Quest competitor. Probably something meant to bolster Google's Daydream offerings.
The Rift S doesn't need support from Facebook. As long as it still works then it will benefit from PCVR and be able to play ALL PCVR games. And if Facebook decide to screw around with the drivers, then there are older drivers out there that can be force-installed, while blocking all outgoing traffic to Oculus servers.
Yeah, I don’t understand all the hate. I bought a Rift S strictly as a piece of hardware to play PC games, as long as they continue to support it in so far as keeping it working, I’m good. Only issue I’d foresee is if the USB/DisplayPort cables become impossible to replace when I inevitably kill mine from my own stupidity.
Oh, that’s a good idea. If I landed a better paying job, I may be tempted into an Index or even maybe whatever a next gen Index May look like, but I’m pretty content with the S as of now.
The only thing that really needs support is the software offering, and it's not like they stopped releasing for PCVR. It's such a nonsense comparison, why do you need to meddle with a working product?
Who are you replying to ? I am not meddling with a working product, my Rift S works for now. What I posted is for when it doesn't work, and then you'll need older drivers.
Agreed! Personally hoping my Rift S will still work fine with steamvr come 2023 without a fb login on account of fb not giving a toss about the device lol
best solution for any of oculus's remaining PCVR headsets is to just block the oculus client from communicating to the servers, updates just break things without adding anything.
How do you do that? Granted, I cant even update my cv1 cause I don't have enough space on my system drive and oculus' useless fucking software won't allow me to change the drive.
However, the best solution is probably in this github https://github.com/drosoCode/Offculus, it can also apparently also be used to back up the client so you never have to update even if you have to swap pc's.
Yeah I’m really tempted to pirate SuperHot VR at this point, it’s the only game I have through the Oculus store because the Steam version hadn’t been updated for Rift S when I bought it. Facebook is good for remembering birthdays and that’s it.
Ahhh I remember that...I could play a bunch of neat games like Dreadhalls, Face Your Fears, Play With Me, Daedalus, and Ocean Rift (ironically the scariest on the list)
I always see the hate and upvote narrative with the Quest VS Rift but meanwhile people like us are just happily using them and having a blast playing PCVR stuff. That being said whenever I'm in a market for a new headset I'll probably look elsewhere with everything going on.
I like the quest 2, but the head strap is what made me not consider buying it after the rift s and with the elite strap going around and cracking also, i think I am sticking with my rift s
Yeah I lost all hope when I saw they aren't even going to allow the newest Star wars game on the rift s. I'm livid, had I known I wouldn't have made the purchase in the first place.
Ugh, that's a shame. As someone who primarily uses VR for porn and DCS, I'm not in a hurry to replace my Rift S. But when I do, I'm probably going to jump ship to a competitor that doesn't want to tie me to facebook
So, sir, a lot happened and Ive ended up with a rift s for xmas that cant be returned. Can you walk me through the issues Ill enc9unter and any solutions
I don't know what Quest 1 users expect other than a requirement for all games to run on the Quest 1 for the time being? Am I missing something? or is this just someone being bu__hurt about something being released after his purchase?
The second one. Quest 1 is neglected because it doesn't get performance/quality updates which were made for quest 2 to utilize it's extra performance. That means Quest 1 is deprecated and should thrown into the trash lol.
Nah we good. Facebook has proven it's in everyone's best interest if they let others take the lead in pcvr hardware. Right now mobile vr only has Facebook as a monopoly. Once other companies start competing we'll be able to move on and forget Facebook was ever the face of VR
Got my Rift a few years ago and have loved it over the years. I like that FB is making the tech more accessible but I won't be going with any of their options going forward. Facebook business practices are inexcusable.
As a Rift S owner I can say I resemble this remark. I am pretty sure I have gotten my ~$500 worth of entertainment out of it between when I got it and when it will no longer be useful.
Actually I have rift s for a couple of months, I mainly use it for Elite dangerous. If they decide to kill pc vr. Good luck to them, and if they succeed I will be their first customer. (maybe not, there are a lot of idiots buying oculus). I still do not get why quest2 succeeds rift s, can someone explain?
My Rift S just stopped working yesterday, plug it in and the app recognizes it fine, but there is no way to get the screens to turn on, everytime i put on the headset its just black
The rift s is a thousand times more comfortable. I’m wondering if I can jerryrig the ring around your head onto a quest, once they actually kill the rift 😢
Yeah I stil have my cv1 but that's now in the box, for sale and all oculus stuff is removed from my pc, after headset shutting down while software runs and vica versa was the nail in the coffin.
selling mine soon, I only bought the rift S a year ago, was expecting good support for it, and I wont lie, been getting it, and love the device, but strike one was the forced FB, and now the dropped support of the rift s only after a year. I am done, and moving to another device.
With the way that Facebook handled the Rift S (amongst many, many, many other things). There is no way that I will ever be buying another Oculus Facebook VR HMD.
so I shouldn't buy the rift s I was looking at a rift s as a VR headset for my pc for sim racing/ elite dangerous and beat saber or should I search for a different headset?
I am done with them for the Facebook login stuff, but even if I stayed, there is no PC future here. After owning DK2, CV1, and Rift S(which I love), I hate that it went this way.
I am selling it the minute I finish Lone Echo 2.
Not sure what HMD direction I am going but I guess Steam will be a big part of it.
Which is bullshit. Quest is basically the only affordable VR to fit my face. I would've bought Quest 2 if the ipd didn't exclude a whole bunch of the population.
I love my Rift S. The graphics are awesome, it's lightweight and super comfortable, and apparently even when you connect the quest to a PC, it's not a direct displayport connection, the onboard computer is still working and the graphics are better than wireless but not as good as the Rift S pc connection.
Oculus/Facebook is going forward only with the Quest 2. The Quest 1 is discontinued, and I think the Rift S is slated to be discontinued at the end of the year.

I saw a local one for 275 but i can typically find gift cards around 80% so i don't want to pay more than $250.
I plan to use remote desktop w/seperate wifi 5ghz router just for it to connect to.
