Good work on the Oculus integration, Björn! And yes, what you describe about the "direct mode" is pretty much par for the course - I haven't seen an app (Unity, Unreal or whatever based) that didn't have problems like that. It is the consequence of their driver hackery. Also another thing to keep in mind is that the GeForce cards support only 2 simultaneous monitors, even if the card has more than two physical connections. So if someone is using dual monitor setup for development you will have to disable one before the Rift will even want to start working. Otherwise Windows will see it present but it won't be active, no matter what "juggling" is done. Another trick we have found is that if you are using a DisplayPort to HDMI converter (e.g. some laptops don't have HDMI but have DP connectors), it may trip up the Rift drivers into thinking that the Rift isn't connected - sometimes these adapters don't pass along the display identification data correctly ... It is pretty much black magic getting this thing working sometimes :( J. _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
