Nightstorm Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Yeah same thing I am seeing, the firmware update with the latest update on the PTC appears to have fixed the white static flashes. I have not tried it in flight sims yet, should be able to this afternoon but it is sounding promising. Static flashes are fixed for me as well.
VitS Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 But according to Oculus static flashes were not even fixed in this update. Placebo?

dburne Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Yes I can confirm for me with the new firmware in the PTC update my white static flashes are now gone. Kudos to Oculus, my Rift S is now golden! Very glad I hung in there with it since getting it on release day - May 24th. One very happy camper!

Oscar81 Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 It's just a mirror of what you see in VR on your monitor so performance cost is minimal. The GPU is rendering the game for VR and then porting it over to your monitor. There is some performance to be gained in certain games like DCS that allow you to custom set the resolution for the mirrored display. Lowering this resolution doesn't change the resolution inside VR, but what's displayed on your mirrored monitor is much smaller (because it's displaying at a new, smaller resolution), but it's usually not worth the effort as gains are typically small. YMMV of course. Thank's Thats good if someone want to try the sim, then I can guide them if I have a picture on the screen.

tribundf Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Hey all. I was wondering if anybody is experiencing challenges with the rift sensors being recognized? I seem to have issues with the USB ports. It asks me to switch USB ports and only gives me a black screen, or 3 loading dots in the headset. Apologies if this was discussed before, Search didn’t give me any results

It asks me to switch USB ports and only gives me a black screen, or 3 loading dots in the headset. Apologies if this was discussed before, Search didn’t give me any results I haven't really had those issues myself but the Rift-S seems to want a 3.1 or at the very least a USB 3 port connection. You also want to try and make sure that its not sharing the USB controller with other power hungry devices. It's not always obvious but a single USB controller usually handles multiple USB ports. Most motherboards usually have at least two separate controllers on them. Check you Device Manager and you will see. You didn't really say but what is your motherboard and what USB port are you connecting to? Inside of Oculus Home, does it show that you have a USB 3 or 3.1 or 2 connection?

panzerd18 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 I downloaded an IPD app on my phone and it told me my IPD is 61 or 61.5mm, will I have any problems with the default 64mm IPD on the Oculus S?
LC34 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Will be getting my Rift S tomorrow. Very excited. Anyone have a system like mine? How's it running DCS World with: i7 4790K EVGA RTX 2070 16 GB Ram I'm hopeful it will be sufficient with this system. I mostly play single player.

Nope, my IPD is 60 and the Rift S works great for me. The sweet spot is pretty big on the S also. Also you don't have to use the 'default' - just set your IPD in the Headset settings in the Oculus App. I believe it positions the two images on the 1 screen appropriately. Vampire

Mule Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 :thumbup: That was my experience as well, along with very reasonable performance. I dropped about 5fps I don't have a great rig. That's a trade off I am quite happy with. I have a wireless headset that I used with the old Rift but I am more than happy with the sound with the Rift S. I had heard it wasn't great but I like it. BTW my wireless headphones fit with the headset no problem at all. Logitech G533. Fighter Pilot Podcast.
