Oculus Rift Cv1

The last official word I can remember is back from the DK1 era where PGI said something to the effect of (and I'm paraphrasing here) "it's an interesting technology and we're keeping an eye on it."
Now the final SDK has shipped and the release version will be shipping to preorder customers starting in May. Cryengine does support the Rift, and I can't imagine a more immersive experience then sitting in the cockpit of my Nova and being able to *actually* look around. MWO is ideal for this technology and the basic building blocks for support are already there.

I remember reading in Russ' Twitter that he played MWO with Rift... I don't know when the official support is going to be released, but it looks like it's almost done.

Either way, there is something to think about here: It has already been mentioned that GTX 970 or better is pretty much mandatory for smooth Oculus gaming on titles that will support it, and a 980 or higher is what is actually recommended. While some of us do have ridiculous systems, we still can't be sure that MWO performance will be up to snuff.
If you want to be the guy to benchmark it for us, that's awesome. We can let your multi-hundred dollar sacrifice be the guinea pig

^^^ I absolutely will do this! You can count on me reporting my experience with YouTube vids and a full breakdown. It's the least I can do to give back to this community. Actually, xWiredx, I don't know if you remember but you helped me choose parts for my rig around this time last year. I'm happy to report she's still trucking along, will be the test subject for the Rift, and getting buttery smooth framrates in MWO these days.
Edit: now that I'm actually looking closer at the names on this thread, there are a few people that were involved in that process. Thank you all

If you're only interest is cockpit type games, the Vive doesn't add much. It lets you do "room scale" which is a LOT of fun, but is heavier and clunkier than the Rift. Choose wisely.

Give us the support we need.
Mechwarrior in VR is a dream we all want to come to reality!

I'm in Heaven!
I finally got full stereoscopic 3D with 92 FPS at all settings max on the Oculus Rift CV1-Here's how you do it:
1) Get Vorpx and make sure it's updated to the latest version (think it's 16.2.? now)
2)Use "Game Optimizer" settings and create a new profile by going to Local settings
3)in Local optimizer settings you will see a list of games -scroll down to "Crysis 2"
4) Select that and then select "create new profile" and change the name for your new profile (I went MWO)
5) Select the "Add" tab and find the MWO Client - should be in the Pirahna folder in either the 32 or 64 bit bin
6) Double click on it to add and then hit the "apply and close" tab
7) Fire up MWO (it may take more than one try, also make sure you select the Oculus headphones as your primary playback device)
It will come up in "Z adaptive" mode in full 3D, then just play with the FOV from the in game settings and tweak the Vorpx settings to your liking...I have my FOV set at 113 which seems pretty optimal (think it's 60 by default which is WAY too zoomed- in). Assign the Vorpx "edgepeek to a hotkey to look at your ammo and damage screens quickly as there is no good way for you to get the full overlays without compromising the 3D.
Note that the Mech Lab is not in Stereoscopic 3D - but the game is, including all weapons and effects! You can try other templates (Crysis 3 doesn't render in full stereoscopy) - but this works great.
It is completely AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a YouTube link explaining the Vorpx game optimizer...

Forgot to mention something that will help enormously....
Make sure you use "Edge Peek" when your in the Mech Lab - it's like your looking at a giant movie screen. I have mine set to a mouse hotkey but you can assign it anywhere convenient - remember your going to use it "in-game" to quick view damage and weapons systems too, so don't assign it to a key your using for something else important
