Quote from Scawen : When you select the Oculus Rift option and the menu pops up for a very short time, are any error messages added to the chat log at the top left of the screen? You can press H to show the recent message history. And what screen does it go to after the menu disappears? Are you left in 2D mode?.

Unfortunately, since using the keyboard shortcut everything seems to work, so I can't replicate. I can confirm that it did go into 3D SBS mode when 3D was selected, it just wasn't possible to bring up the menu that allowed selection of the Rift. I'm 90% sure there were no error messages, but not completely confident.

Quote from slakmehl :Hi,

I bought LFS specifically for the Oculus Rift integration, and was able to run it once in demo mode (very cool, by the way!). I immediately purchased a license, but now I'm having several problems:

(1) As soon as I purchased unlocked with my license, I am no longer able to use the RIFT. If I select '3D' in the view options and click the field to select the Oculsu Rift, the menu pops up for about 1 millisecond and immediately disappears. This happens for both the E8 and E9 patch.

(2) I thought a reinstall might fix the problem, since the menu glitch did not happen before the unlock, but it's still there. Even worse, I can't use my license any more! If I enter my username and password it just says 'unknown version'. Do I have to buy a new license even if the original was only used for 5 minutes?

(3) There is now a loud, continuous beeping both in game and in the menu when I select "single player". It makes it impossible to use any sound at all, just have to turn the headphones off. Is this because my license won't work anymore?

Update on this:

On (1), I still have the same problem with the menu not displaying, but the Alt+F11 shortcut does still work for enabling/disabling the Oculus Rift.

On (2), I bought an S2 upgrade to see if that would work, and ran into the same problem. It appears to be that you cannot unlock from a patched version, as when I ran the regular .exe the unlock worked!

On (3), the beeping did eventually go away, although unfortunately I have no idea what triggered it.

Now that I've got it working - wow, worth every penny. I am not a sim racing fan at all, but the Rift integration sells it hard. Kudos.

One suggestion: it would be *great* to make it possible to map the Rift 're-centering' to arbitrary wheel buttons. I don't have a prayer of locating my keyboard and the ALT and F12 keys with the Rift on, and that and escape are really the only buttons needed to stay in the Rift indefinitely.
New to LFS - having lots of problems
