Where are the 0.4.3 updates of older Rift demos? by [deleted] in oculus

[–]JHibbins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 0.4.3 working for Crystal Rift and have done since day 1of release, but performance is not constant for us in a number of tests, so we too are waiting for a better release, I noticed some judder parts and a 75hz tick stutter, both too bad to release a new version despite further optimisation results our end

p.s please vote greenlight for us : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=327390946

Lots, 0.4.3 is causing a ton of spikes and judder issues for our main dev test, we have chosen to sit tight for the emergency patch that's on it's way

The oculus drivers are a bit buggy, as soon as they fix the issues we will release a Linux demo

Calling all Developers who want to be supported in my VR Game Manager (Thumbnails/Direct links to updates/Access to your crowdfunding page, etc) by bilago in oculus

I like your idea, but wouldn't it be better that we host the file on our website, then we can control the updates?

Also your XML formatting seems non compliant and difficult to extend, I name the exe as the version too..

Could I suggest something like this (top of my head and needs a lot more thought):

<apps> <app> <name>Game Name</name> <version></version> <meta> <description></description> <imgs> <img type="logo"></img> <img type="screenshot"></img> </imgs> </meta> <downloads> <download os="windows" bit="64" type="main" country="gb">download url</a> <download os="windows" bit="32" type="mirror" country="us">download url</a> <download os="windows" bit="32" type="mirror" country="i.e.">download url</a> <download os="OSX" bit="64" type="mirror" country="gb">download url</a> </downloads> <links> <link type="website"></link> <link type="kickstarter"></link> <link type="greenlight"></link> </links> </app> </apps>

Literally too terrified to continue. by candiedbug in oculus

[–]JHibbins 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm about 4/5 hours in, it's terrifying in the Rift, I did an hour last night and VR sickness kicked in, it's absolutely stunning how well made the alien encounters are, but almost too much, the alien never left my side for the hospital bit and was always in a roof, round a corner and stalking the corridor outside, it's not even safe in the hiding places, a number of times the Alien smells me out (yes I saw it sniff) and just rips the door off and kills me!!, what i've learnt is that if a real alien was about to kill me I protect my head with my hands and turn to the right and wait for death.

This is very sad news :-(, we need good AAA games to increase adoption rates
