New Oculus update breaks Revive

I called this one in advance: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/vive-assetto-corsa-vr.8551/#post-106818

What Oculus has done is use the Rift itself as a DRM key, a Rift must be plugged in before an exclusive Oculus Home based game can be played.

It is pretty clear Palmer just flat out lied when he said Oculus would not prevent other headsets being used, as it was not good for VR.

Pretty clear Oculus is now full speed in stoking a full on console DRM style war. That is abhorrent to many PC gamers, including many who own Rifts. Oculus is doing a first rate job of sinking the boot into its own fan base and many are now being openly critical of where Oculus is heading.

My best advice, even for Rift owners, is don't lock any purchases into Oculus Home as there is no future guarantees. The DK2 is already considered unsupported by Oculus and it is pretty clear Oculus is not interest in sales, but rather consumer lock in.

Hits the nail on the head:

I guess I need to get serious about investigating motion cancellation for the Vive @SeatTime, as being locked into Oculus is now problematic from my point of view.

It is like a step back in time where you could only play a game with the CD in the drive, and all that led to was frustrations for the users and rampant piracy.

The new Oculus DRM can be bypassed with Unreal Engine based games: https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive/releases/tag/0.5.2

Bypassing Oculus DRM on Unity based games is still being worked on.

Full Revive DRM bypass has now been implemented, Version 0.6 of Revive should bypass the DRM on all Oculus Home games. Thus restoring the compatibility that Revive had before the Oculus Runtime 1.4 update.

There is no more need for the RevivePlatform DLLs, you will need to remove these DLLs again or else you will get code signature errors: https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive/releases/tag/0.6
