Direct 3D error after Oculus update

Post by Andaroo28 » Fri Nov 01, 2019 2:48 am

Hey fellow Soarers...

I recently bought Condor to run on my MSI TItan pro GTX 1080 gaming laptop, I also have oculus rift.
It was running beautifully until yesterday morning when I got the dreaded direct 3D error.
Short of a long story, I did all the updating of drivers, reinstalls etc but found it would only work with the VR option turned off.
I checked my notifications in oculus and saw an update ran since the night before and that morning, condor was still running so I thought maybe something didn't install right.

I've reinstalled everything including steam, oculus condor etc, nvidia apps and latest drivers...

Anyone else seeing this ??

Cheers
Andrew

I am having this same issue too. It used to work just fine until 2 days back.

The new Oculus update was installed 2 days back within the tool.

I am using this with Pimax 5x+, and running Condor through PiTool and when I start a VR session, I get the error. The oculus App just opens and the error is seen when I start a VR session.

I tied uninstall and reinstalling Oculus software but the issue still remains.

Looking at the error log this is what is seen:
Condor version: 2090

I sent a support request to Oculus, the reply wasn't very supportive.... basically they said " it works with our stuff, talk to your developer...."

But..... condor appeared in the Oculus library and I ran it from there works a treat.....

So all is happy in my world now and my wife is happy that the " husband daycare service" is back up and functioning.

Cheers guys
Andrew
