Problems with new DK2

Hello, I have been using my dear old trusty DK1 for many months without any kind of trouble, but today I received my new DK2, and unfortunately I am only encountering problems, so if any of you could help me I would appreciate it...

The configuration ran fine and I measured my IPD just like I did with the old DK1. I launch the desk demo included in the config utility and everything works like a charm.

After that, I try to run a few Unity demos... and I only could make two of them run properly, while the rest end up in a white or black screen. I tried many things to make them work:

• Setting up the Rift's display mode to Extended and to Direct (while in Extended mode I rotated the rift's screen to landscape).


• Running the standard executables and the DirectToRift ones.


• I tried to run those executables as admin.


• I tried to run them with -adapter 1 (that's the Rift's)


• I tried also with -force-d3d11 or -force-d3d9


• I disabled the firewall (it seems that the Oculus service requires some network transfer)


• I tried to restart the service and the drivers with Bilago's Service Manager


• I tried to change my Rift's to primary display and to secondary


• I changed the USB ports used


• I changed the connector from HDMI to DVI using the adapter


• Tried to uninstall and reinstall the runtime (with and without the hmd and camera connected).

Almost none of this things worked, and in fact only two demos ran without problems (OceanRift and From Ashes). Oculus World demo, Titans of Space, and a couple of others didn't work.

After those failures at running demos, I tried two of my games: Elite Dangerous and Eurotruck Simulator 2. None of them worked.

In E:D I set up the Rift's display mode in extended mode, kept the service active and launched the game. In graphic options, the Rift didn't showed up. I tried to stop the service and restart the game to no avail. Changed the Rift's display mode to Direct to HMD, but no luck either. I thought that the service might have stopped, but I launched the config utility without problems and ran the desk demo prefectly, so the Rift was working. The problem is that E:D simply doesn't detect it.

Regarding ETS2, I added the "-oculus" option at launch, and the monitor showed up the warped image, but not in the DK2. Made the same tests as in E:D without success. Even tried with the Beta for Oculus and without.

My specs are Win 7 64bits, SDK 0.4.3, NVidia 760GTX.

Do you know what I am doing wrong? Why does it work perfectly in some Unity demos and not in others (I only downloaded versions compatible with DK2)? Why E:D doesn't detect the Rift?

Thanks a lot in advance for the help...
