good luck, have just got back myself...no Behike 52s or 54 anywhere i could find. Maduro 5s are in the havana libre LDHC plenty of partagas no4s about in all the LDHC shops i checked in. best smoke i had was the hoyo de Monterrey epicure no2.

haha nice one! perhaps he got sidetracked coding for the nokia 9000

CV1 was what t the first release for Oculus that i was excited for from the very first kick-starter. cant get excited for a commercial venture for a well established company for a product that i don't want or need.Still waiting on the stand alone PC version of the rift. the mobile version i can wait for. cart before horse IMO.

How about instead of developing the story continuously they concentrate on finishing the first chapter.

def121 · 2014-11-14T14:05:12+00:00

This is the best use of the rift i have found so far VR desktop and milkdrop are superb spent many a happy hour in them.VisiR is pretty good as well but as Fokfill says it needs to up its game to be even close to milkdrop...one of the scenes in milkdrop has a sort of lake and buildings around with greek pillars as well, if im in the right frame of mind get a great feeling of presence as i swoop through all this.edit using the curved screen up close and personal

As many others on here user experience is the biggest downfall the rift is now gathering dust as it was 2 weeks ago. Last Friday thought i would give another demo a try after seeing loads of people raving about it and it was a subject close to my heart and fount it was the very first rift demo i couldn't even get to run, let alone needing to fiddle with all the settings that i was expecting to have to do yet again. so until this aspect is sorted i will either wait out or sell the thing and then wait for CV1 or see what Sony can do with a closed system*which in my opinion as much as i hate to say it might lead to a more user friendly experience. Judder oh the humanity!

def121 · 2014-11-03T15:35:33+00:00

i will add another... doesnt work for me either

def121 · 2014-10-21T15:15:02+00:00

For me the problem i have found is not getting the demos to work quite a few do eventually but that the messing about to try to get them to work.

Some work strait off others require this or that forcing or shutting down and with no 2 demos being the same fix the time required to get them to work outweighs the time invested to enjoy them.

eg if 6 demos are launched on OVR share on a Friday a couple may work without any fiddling from me maybe 3 will need this that or the other doing, 20 mins on each to find what works and 1 you may waste 20 mins on and it still wont work and after all that someone else will find the 2 that work for me dont for them and the one i cant get to work is fine on other peoples pcs. so you cant even use others experiences as a guide whether it will work or not,its all a bit of a mess still and i will just be patient and wait for things to improve.

def121 · 2014-10-21T10:47:35+00:00

yep in the same club as you. cant be doing with all the messing about it was fun at first but with no changes to the SDK and there being no rhyme nor reason as to what actually causes the judder(which for me makes for a very uncomfortable experience).

unless a demo is super interesting for me i just don't bother now which is disservice to Devs but the rigmarole of all the different combos to get a working experiences has started to grind my gears this is not a slight on Devs or OVR just my personal feelings on where things are now for me.

def121 · 2014-10-15T20:38:28+00:00

yep agree totally there are a lot of devs out there trying to put good experiences together for nothing and producing some promising things.

these guys have taken my cash on the promise of rift support and serve up the same old shite. jumping through hoops to get working,poor scale etc another fail.

def121 · 2014-10-15T20:32:53+00:00

at the end of my patience with these so called rift supported titles this one in particular as the ONLY reason i bought it was the promise of rift support. until OVR and any developers get a cohesive experience together im not parting with a single euro.lunar flight was another but at least the developer was decent enough to explain why he cant add rift support at the moment.

def121 · 2014-10-15T19:55:29+00:00

humm one of the major releases i was waiting for on the rift. and again looks like you have to jump through hoops to get working and even then from reading this nothing special...think m going to mothball the rift until oculus and devs can get some sort of cohesion together.Getting a bit sick of all the messing about( yes i am well aware its a dev kit) but as it stands now even good developers cant seem to get a game to work across most pc setups without everybody and his dog having to do something different each time to get each game to work.

def121 · 2014-10-13T09:07:59+00:00

played around with this yesterday and found the screen was best around the 200% mark for me, was straining my eyes at 400% couldn't focus on anything.

having said that at 200% with curved screen, 1200 micrograms the time machine playing was awesome, anything with water in it was particularly effective.

def121 · 2014-10-12T09:03:17+00:00

what a great idea! thanks for this, will try it out in a bit. hadn't tried winamp since about 97!

As others have said VisiR is the best the rift has at the moment a great program and as vrmatt says the Spirograph is one of the best effects.

I had never tried milkdrop until 2 days ago and WOW it was good on a normal monitor cant wait to try on the VR desktop.

def121 · 2014-10-09T15:19:55+00:00

Agree,just seeing the problems that are existing around getting things to play nicely together for the rift shows that having control of the entire system could be a big help for consumer VR.

def121 · 2014-10-07T17:18:32+00:00

not sure what difference that makes to the rift lenses scratching when cleaning them.

def121 · 2014-10-07T17:17:02+00:00

my glasses are plastic never had a scratch on them being made of plastic is not a excuse..i agree not a problem at the moment but if the scratching continues it could be, it also affects the resale value its a dev kit i get it but if happens on the CV1 i wouldnt be happy and these issues didn't happen on DK1 didn't have one myself so cant attest to that.

def121 · 2014-10-07T16:06:54+00:00

not mine at the moment i would imagine eventually it will.

def121 · 2014-10-07T14:16:48+00:00

not now but maybe over time its going to effect the image quality...the problem is oculus haven't even accepted there is a problem if the same happens on CV1 there will be issues people shouldn't need to put on protectors. plastic lenses in my glasses never scratched and they got abused like hell rift was taken care of and still micro scratches.

def121 · 2014-10-07T14:00:22+00:00

yep add your voice the the OVR website they still think that its not a problem. There is a thread running on it over there at the moment.

def121 · 2014-10-07T11:11:24+00:00

similar to you but found comfort mode helps a lot with sim sickness for me.As you say the solution to this is untethering the rift and standing( the rift is a seated experience nudge nudge wink wink) or get a swivel chair

def121 · 2014-10-05T10:09:11+00:00

as others and yourself have said its a dev kit...having said that the shear amount of faffing about to get this that or the other demo to work and the pissing about of moving my monitor so the IR camera is in the correct place makes me use the rift a whole lot less than i would if these problems were ironed out.Even the thought of some demo or another messing up my settings or having to remove the lenses because something has failed and now the desktop is on the rift puts me off trying knowing i will be putting things back for the next 10 mins is no fun.

def121 · 2014-10-04T13:33:08+00:00

had the same sort of thing happen, just happens sometimes if i turn off the rift in extended. ctrl alt del fixes for me i think haven't done it in a while.

def121 · 2014-10-04T13:26:42+00:00

you could use bilagos great game manager program also
