    The Revive injector has been updated to fix Dirt Rally support: https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive/releases/tag/0.8.5

    Instructions for standalone games (including the Steam version of Dirt Rally)

    Download the Revive Injector here: https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive/releases/download/0.8.5/ReviveInjector.zip
    Go to the installation directory of the game.
    Find the main executable for the game. For Unreal Games the executable ends with ...-Shipping.exe.
    Extract all Revive Injector files next to the executable.
    Make sure SteamVR is running and then drag main executable onto ReviveInjector_x64.exe.

    I'm impressed, works well on the Vive.

    The Revive dev CrossVR has been a godsend and I suspect will be equally quick in adding other Vive game support as they are released, wherever possible.

    He is good. There was a post on reddit about game developers relying on Revive to make their games run on the Vive and not bother to natively port it. Think they may have a point. Having briefly played it i can see why it was ported to the Rift first as you don't really want to get out of the car as there are no wheels or back end :)

    Honestly I don't think devs or gamers can rely on Revive rather than porting, given how Oculus has already behaved in using the Rift itself as a hardware lock. While Oculus has done a back flip and made a public statement about not re-implementing it after the gamer and media backlash, that they implemented hardware locked DRM in the first place and in such a blatant manner sends up all sorts of red flags for me.

    For me SteamVR is a better approach to supporting both HMDs, particularly for indie devs, who are very prominent in first gen VR.

    But I can imagine some big studios being lazy and ignoring the Vive because Revive exists.

    Anyone got any idea where you patch the dirt rally plugin to?
