Oculus Rift Beta Released!

Hi all! We’ve just uploaded our first Rift CV1 beta build! It’s on a new branch - ‘riftbeta’. There’s still work to do, but we’ve made quite a lot of tweaks since the DK2 version and we’re looking forward to getting all your feedback.

We’ve also added controller presets to make it easier to find a control scheme that suits you, particularly in VR. We’ll be rolling these back into the non-VR version shortly too.

Recommendations for VR

Set all graphics to minimum to start with Use the new Snap Roll mode VR-specific settings are in the Game menu

So, have a go and let us know what you think :) Have fun!
