I bought the DK2 on release and had great fun with Elite Dangerous and the demo scenes.
Then I lost interest for a while. In the mean-time installed Win10.
Now, I considered buying the next Oculus device as its resolution is higher and there is an ED extension available; also more games are compatible.
My background: Master of Science in Physics from London; PhD in Aero from London. I simulate acoustics using the finite/boundary-element method and flow using the finite-volume method. I built a high-performance cluster at work and use it / maintain it daily. I know computers.
Those people at Oculus have been promising Win10 drivers for this hardware, literally, for years.
Not one byte to that effect.
I've rolled back my drivers to win7. Spent man days on this waste of time. No joy. Demo scenes work: amazing hardware! But those people didn't release Win10 drivers.
I will never buy from Oculus again. They took my few hundred pounds and I got a few months of gameplay and now, no support.
Disappointing performance. I will avoid you and any of your spin-offs in the future. My money will gladly go elsewhere.
People reading this: don't waste your time rolling back, reinstalling, dicking around. Go smell the flowers, spend time with family, see new places. These people will take your money, waste your time, and leave you hanging.
I bought the Vive, because of this problem and that the vive is backed solidly by Valve. Good-bye Oculus. You produced an amazing product initially, and still managed to lose this enthusiast because of your software policy.
