Oculus Rift DK2 0.4.0 runtime compatibility issues

Sandelsium · 08-07-2014, 08:50 AM

Not sure if this has been reported before, but currently if you install Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 0.4.0 runtime libraries and driver, it seriously conflicts with DisplayLink drivers. It causes all screens to blank out on boot and requires system restore to fix. Currently only fix I am aware of is to completely uninstall DisplayLink drivers.

Are there any news on fixing this issue or is it something that Oculus Rift devs need to take care of?

Hi,

We've released a utility which disables Displaylink drivers without needing to uninstall them.

You can find the utility here http://www.displaylink.com/support/ticket.php?id=368

Thanks,
James
