Oculus Runtime 1.30 (If you don't have much RAM)

Recommended Posts

The new Oculus runtime(Dash+Home2) uses a lot of RAM, in my computer I see 2.5GB used by the Service, Client, Dash, etc, whithout taking into account Home2.

 

For people with 16GB or less running DCS, that's a lot. Someone packed the old runtime with the minimal things, so we can save a lot of RAM. I don't have sttutters anymore now !!!!!

 

Instructions:

1) Stop the service OVRService (Oculus VR Runtime Service)

2) Rename "C:\Program Files\Oculus" to ""C:\Program Files\Oculus2"

3) Download this file and uncompress it on "C:\Program Files". Now you shoud have "C:\Program Files\Oculus" again

4) Restart the OVRService

 

If you want to go back to the new runtime, then:

1) Stop the service

2) Rename Oculus to Oculus1

3) Rename Oculus2 to Oculus

4) Start the service again

 

I made a small bat file that automates that runtime change, I join it here

Is this by any chance the one like we used to have in a past where you can bypass running home before running your games / sims?

Yes, is that old version, but with everything removed, no Home, no Oculus Client, just the runtime, no need to bypass it.

Everything is black until you launch a game.

 

And you can swap quite quickly between the actual version and that old version, in case you need for a game.

Just tried it out. Brilliant! Been hoping for a while now to be able to run things without the bloat-home having to run.

 

Thanks a ton, Cercata!

Still you have Dash, Client, etc using around 2.5GB of RAM, but don't have to wait for home to load after you close a game

Home disappears to just a gray screen when playing a game...
