EVERY SINGLE RIFT HAS BEEN BRICKED. I REPEAT *EVERY SINGLE RIFT* HAS BEEN BRICKED!
OCULUS IS OVER.
Not even kidding, Oculus 'forgot' to renew their security certificates and replace them in time before expiry, now they are expired and the devices won't accept new firmware updates from an expired certificate and since they won't accept updates, there is no way to update the certificate on the devices - every Rift is bricked and it will likely require sending back to oculus for repair
Still waiting on VR to cost 400$s, and no not that PSVR Shit.
Hudson Bennett
The date on the device needs to be set back.
Chase Stewart
Do you expect Oculus to ask all their users to do this? It's an unreasonable fix.
Cameron Flores
>bricked >fixable Make up your mind friendo
Gabriel Walker
most bricks are fixable
like 95% of all bricked 3dses are fixable
Landon Rodriguez
The rift is 399$ and drops to 349$ all the time
Colton Sanders
>vive owner >thinks VR is shit
pottery. You get to laugh today because of this issue, I get to laugh every other day at you spending twice the money on an inferior product you don't even enjoy
Kayden Long
Oh no no NO NO NO NO NO
AHAHAAAAAAHAHAHAHAGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGAHAHAH
Andrew Garcia
YOU CAN’T EVEN USE YOUR OCULUS IT’S NON FUNCTIONAL AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Andrew Hill
softbrick, the devices are definitely salvageable - but possibly not at the end-user premises.
Worst case scenario here is Oculus has to do a complete recall at their cost - that's pretty pricey considering all the shipping and handling. More likely is they'll scramble an release a firmware utility in the coming weeks that will have to disable all external network access, emulate the facebook NTP server (to fool the device into thinking the cert is still valid) and change the date on the host to match the emulated NTP server - hen flash new firmware with a new cert.
Don't expect this to happen any time within the next fortnight. The validation for the new firmware alone will take at least a week.
Rift's can be resurrected but it's going to be ~1 month before that happens, until then everyone has a very expensive paperweight.
Andrew King
It'll be fixed by tomorrow
your wands will still be pieces of shit for eternity
enjoy your grip button

Fuck Oculus Rift, Fuck Palmer Fuckey

You're talking to a sentient pile of fats and oils, you know that right
Wyatt Hughes

Zachary Wright
Honestly i don't even care, my oculus was last used like 4 months ago.
Brandon Johnson
Hey man, they are working on it ok?
Brayden Walker
>VR console-warring is already a thing just fucking end me already, I don't want to be here anymore
Benjamin Peterson
what do you gain from spewing fake information? is it amusing in some way? or are you just envious and so you say dumb shit to feel better about your sour grapes?
rift devices work properly and only problem is software on windows. their problem is that oculus home exe won't start, and so automatic update won't launch itself, and modern userbase is too dumb to download fix from website like cavemen
Ryder Rivera
you need to set the date back faggot
John Young
Really? That sucks. I was going to watch Jumanji in VR tonight.
Oliver Harris
All according to play. Now they can be sent back and individually be implanted (at minimum Chinese wage) with hardware backdoors for a 100% tracker slab faceberg experience...
Benjamin Jenkins
>Oculus could release a patch on its website that you have to download manually, and it will surely replace the installation binaries as soon as possible, but how would it communicate the change to everyone who owns a Rift? And so here we are. >HURRR BRICK THIS IS THE END
they will fix it for free if they don't want their reputation to be *completely* destroyed. They are backed by facebook; they can afford to own up to their own fuck-ups
Carter Green
this
but I'm gonna fap to honey select vr today. hope it goes well
John Morales
>Buying 1st gen VR You know what happens to test subjects? They die or get sick so that the real people can enjoy the better version of the product with the downsides reduced or removed.
If you bought 1st gen VR you are a test subject. You should be prepared to get screwed.
Nicholas Nguyen
>facebook can remotely and permanently disable rifts whenever they feel like it you're cucked if you own one
Carter Ortiz
OP is completely bullshitting FYI with his "recall" nonsense.
The worst case scenario right now is a manual update people have to download.
Most likely by tomorrow there will be a solution.
Anthony Price
btw guys I bought superhot VR and it's trash
you have to swing your arm stupid fast to count as a punch. developer says it's to make it immersive. But the game is in fucking slowmo! how retarded can it get
Nicholas Sullivan
Very funny that they forgot to renew their shit
Samuel Harris
This is a weird complaint, how fucking slow are you punching? I never had issues with it and im literally crippled and fat and slow
Liam Wilson
did I do that?
Isaiah Green
this is like 20 gen vr experience dude
Noah Lee
literally took me half an hour in the tutorial because I was going as fast as I could with the wriststrap on and everything
seems easier if it's like a hammer or backhand motion
game is probably bugged as well as being ugly, shit, and not having any menus or explanations of anything
tech demo shit. what else should I expect
Eli Rivera
>beaming ir light into your eyes Id rather keep my vision thank you very much
Isaiah Long
That honestly sounds like a bug, I distinctly remember the detection for punching being very sensitive for me. If you were going as fast as you could, definitely a bug or something.
In fact, I think I remember in the past reading about a bug where superhot was affected by not detecting certain movement on the controllers
Either way, Superhot is just "meh" to "ok" tier at best.
Owen Miller
No. It is the first iteration of this version of VR, the first commercial iteration of the technology being used.
It's the fucking 1st gen. A bunch of older shit that was called 'VR' and used completely different technology and mechanisms isn't an earlier generation of current VR technology any more than this shit will be an earlier version of 'real VR' when they eventually invent figure that technology out.
Samuel Clark
sorry sweetie but you're wrong
Elijah Bell
You must have something set up wrong, then. It was fine for me. You really don't have to punch very fast... The only problem is you have to wave your hands to make time pass when nothing is happened. It needs a button to make time pass. Either that, or make the levels so something is always happening. Punches being registered isn't a problem at all, however.
Jordan Morales
You're acting like you can't buy any future versions if you buy the original version. Are you poor or something? If you constantly wait for the best version of something you'll be waiting your entire life and die having experienced nothing because all you did was wait for something better.
William Reed
>certificate >expiring
what gay microsoft shit is this lmao
how does setting an expiration date make anything more secure
Julian Reed
VR is great for racing simulators
David Butler
I don't waste money. That's why I own 2 houses and am working on my third. Poor people spend more money on meaningless shit than rich people, that's why they stay poor.
I'll buy it when it's worth buying.
Jayden Wilson
>Trusting Faceberg Not even once.
Owen Moore
Enjoy beta testing your houses. I'm going to wait and buy one when everything is automated and they're made of indestructible materials. Having more than one house is probably the biggest waste of money there is, by the way.
Shit bait, though, to be honest. Might be the dumbest response I've ever read on this website.
Juan Nelson
>buy game on sale because it has good ratings >game - VR edition comes out >totally unrelated to my previous purchase and costs way more VR is such a shitty scam
just milking old crappy games

The second one is a rental property, as the third will be. The difference between a house and some disposable piece of electronics by the way is that I can sell the houses in a few years for a profit on top of the profit of the rent I get from the tenants thanks to housing price inflation.
Property investment is one of the safest and best long term investments you can make. I'll be making money off of my rental properties for decades, allowing me to retire at the age of about 40. Meanwhile, you will be working until you hit 73 when you have a heart attack.
Josiah Brooks
>Property investment is one of the safest and best long term investments you can make. Not if the house is in an area that's getting diversified.
Grayson Richardson
Deje vu.
Easton Howard
This entire thread is fucking cancer
Angel Watson

Jordan Hernandez
And my properties are not. That's called doing your research. Not exactly a complicated concept.
Ethan Morris
>"those were dramatic spacings for emphasis at least presents a good argument for what you SHOULD have said, but you rendered your potential bait moot. Fucking retard.
Blake Sanders
bad news, i a psychic. you have stage 4 renal cancer and have less than 2 years to live. sorry.
Oliver Torres
You sound like a person who values money over enjoying life. Enjoy being miserable and dying alone, I guess. At least you'll have a bunch of money to pass off to your non existent kids.

Can't make this shit up

Oh boy, is bricked going to be the new word that loses all meaning because the simpletons on Sup Forums parrot it over and over without understanding it the first time?
Jeremiah Sanchez
no shut the fuck its bricked oculus cuckboi
Liam Jackson
HS is probably the least impressive VR porn game out there right now.
Josiah Turner
The best VR porn game is getting someone in VRchat with full body trackers that agrees to fuck you in VR
They may be a fat fuck IRL but it doesn't matter so long as they don't talk
Hunter Rivera
>cries about reddit spacing >reddit spaces himself I remember when mods enforced rule #2
Robert Richardson
>actually spouting the "reddit spacing" meme >reddit invented making your posts more easily legible by not bundling all the text together
I've been reddit spacing before reddit even existed, then.
Alexander Nguyen
>Vive fanboy is a brainlet At this point I wish I could say I'm surprised but after today, where every reddit vive echo chamber collectively jizzed in their pants at the chance to finally have gotten something palpable to talk shit about towards the Oculus, some of it had to leak here. Not surprising.
Hudson Allen
is me and i said literally nothing about the vive or the oculus
Juan Nelson
Palmer doesn't even work at oculus anymore you fucking brainlet. He had to quit during the 2016 election after people got their panties in a bunch over him being a Trump supporter.
Lucas Baker
I didn't say you were, I was referring to the first person I replied to.
Adrian Lewis
what's better then
the scenes are the best
James Cox
>Bricked I just set my pc to yesterday and rebooted without any issue. Fix is coming soon.
Ian Hughes
But didn't you listen to ? All you have is an expensive paperweight for a month dude
Chase Peterson
Literally retarded. The only thing that happened is that Windows is not being able to load the drivers because of an certificate that expired, so the Oculus Runtime will not launch.
Joseph Hernandez
this is why you should never buy anything or use anything from Facebook. They will take control and fuck you over everytime.
Jack Parker
Yeah but this slight, temporary inconvenience is totally not worth not having bought the inferior product
you are so retarded, read the thread
Jace Peterson
The damage control in this thread is ridiculous.
Owen Carter
i miss times when troll threads still had some kind of purpose of idea behind them, now it's just troll for sake of troll
sad
David Morris
oculusfags are used to bricks because they've been dumb as one since birth
Bentley Clark
>giving facebook a camera into your bedroom
Jace Rodriguez
>rational replies to brainlets/trolls >damage control
Ironic considering that the Vive is the only one with a functional camera (that nobody uses)
Gavin Reyes
vive camera points away from you and is usually disabled to reduce USB bandwidth. Facebook VR requires multiple cameras pointing at you to play. They are fully functional.
Nolan Powell
This is bait but i'll fall for it They're infrared, the same way Track IR works.
Oliver Evans
I'm laughing at how cringey this post is.
Nathan Phillips
not bait, Zuckerburg can watch you jerk off whenever he wants. Don't buy into his closed platform
Camden Jackson
Oculus’ driver doesn’t retain or store camera images. They get consumed and then destroyed immediately after arriving over USB, and only the extracted (x, y) LED positions survive and get fed into the pose estimation algorithm.
You're the kind of retard that thought that because Facebook bought Oculus, ads would appear on your Rift. It was rubbish then and it's rubbish now.
Chase Scott
It's funny because given everything that's been exposed about government spying, there's literally a 100% chance they are recording this data
fucking hilarious
I still love my rift
Mason Turner
>imblying the CPU doesn't record the data before it consumes and destroys it
there is literally no depths the US deep state won't sink to
Dominic Young
>"I still love my rift" You're part of the problem, then.
Cooper Miller
If that problem is "good vr exists", then ok
Ian Nguyen
>imblying the CPU doesn't record the data Now, I know you're just fooling around but some people actually believe this. Like
