My Oculus Rift arrives on March 26th, 2020. I can't wait! That T-Rex must have been a really cool experience in VR. Not so sure about looking down from the high rise building though.
@@TechHarvest I unfortunately have to limit myself to an hour or less at a time due to motion sickness. Other than that, it is nice to finally be able to move my avatar's arms in VRChat. I have not really done anything else with it yet.
You had more luck than I did! My C: is full and trying to run the download to another drive is a nightmare. Oculus give you some lines of code to overwrite the Run command! Never seen that before in any download.
you need to press the Windows button + R and then there should be a window which says something like run put C:\Users\YOURNAME\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe /drive=D in if you want to install it on D instead of C
My Hdmi cable wont be detected. The screen in the headset and sound are working but I just cant get that green check mark for the hdmi. Could anyone help?
Thankyou so much TechHarvest, for taking the time to run thru this setup video for people like me, that have yet to receive their Oculus, and are unsure what to expect when we first get it............... very helpful video.
Maybe use a HDMI to display port adapter and plug your monitor into that then the adapter into a display port (if you have one) then plug the rift into the HDMI port
I recently bought this... But whenever I am launching a new game after downloading it... It just not open... And all other added games like... The one u played in your video or any other 2-3 pre-installed games.. only those are running
TechHarvest no. I’ve tried it a lot and I’ve tried whitelisting ports and etc. I think it’s because of the graphics card isn’t compatible with oculus. So I think we’re going to need to get a new computer, unfortunately. Thanks for the help.
so at 12:30 where you put the headset on my oculus rift is black but I can hear music. I tried reinstalling the updated drivers but it is still a black void no matter what I do. its plugged into a dp spot on my graphic card through a hdmi adapter cuz my tv hdmi is plugged into the only hdmi spot on my graphic card plz help.
hello I'm stuck on the fist step on choosing a profile picture when I choose to sign in with oculus I get a blank screen and when I sign in with Facebook I get a network error what can I do to fix this
Heads up people if your thinking about buying a oculus DONT try to set it up on a pc that wasnt made for gaming. If its a pc with a simple dell pc or a computer screen with the pc inside BIG mistake. Buy a powerful gaming pc a, and a good screen you will also need a few more things but depending on your screen and pc it will have everything.
just got a rift and it does not work at all. completely regret spending so much money on something so bad, too many problems to count, hoping i can return it and get my money back
WesttBeats it depends on your pc also, your pc must be powerful enough to use it. So if it is the Rift then you can refund it and get oculus quest on early spring 2019... 🤟👌👌👌
Just bought a Alienware desktop computer & oculus rift & I am stuck on update you graphics card driver… is that an additional purchase? No support center:( please help if possible … thanks
Pretty simple free fix. Just google the website of your graphics card's manufacturer ( probably amd or nvidia) and navigate to the "Driver Download" section. If you need additional help just google a tutorial after learning your card's manufacturer.
Hello I am unable to get to the hdmi stage. My tv is plugged into the graphics. So I can’t unplug it because my tv goes off. I also have a hdmi port on my motherboard at the back but I’m unable to get that to work with my tv. How do I go about doing so? Thank you.
If you have any further questions with your pc, you should check out reddit, and go to r/rift r/buildapc and r/pcmr they are very helpful, just do not ask a million questions and do some research:) cheers
PcPro Playz I'm actually getting problems with the sensors now. When I started it off first time it was good and working now it just looses connection. When I move, it freezes the picture while I have the headset on. No idea why that is? Hmmm
It would only affect online games or downloading games. Make sure your rig has the minimum system requirements to run an Oculus before buying one though.
guys why can't I have a smooth installation like on these youtube videos ? it asks me to update graphic card driver but it is already updated.HELP PLEASE
Hey man!! Could you pass me the setup .exe archive of 2020?...i cant instala the new setup to a login issue by Facebook and configure my oculus thanksss
Can someone please help me, it says "Update Your Graphics Card Driver", I have been following its steps and I cant download both of the suggested apps. I have an AMD Radeon (TM) RX 570 and I try the AMD website but it doesn't show my graphics card driver there. The computer I got said VR ready so it I shouldn't have to return it.
I can play this on mac, I use NVIDIA GeForce Now but i have a question, is the download only for windows? Because NVIDIA GeForce NOW is enough to run it on VR
When I take out the HDMI from my graphics card it turns my monitor off, how do I fix that? If I plug in my OCULUS rift HDMI it shows display through it but tells my to return to the monitor, but its turned off?
You need to have both the Rift and Monitor plugged into your graphics card. If your graphics card only has one HDMI but also a Display Port, use the display port for your monitor and the HDMI for the Rift.
GTX 960 is the lowest minimum supported by Oculus. if someone is running on a 950 there's a good chance of getting motion sickness even on low settings.
How many USB ports do you need for you computer avaliable to have the whole Oculus work? I have been really confused about this. I really wanna by the Oculus but I wanna make sure I can even use it on my computer before I buy it :'D
this is the pain on the ass. I stuck at the installation stage for few hours, error in installation but it doesn't indicate any further detail. How come the hardware doesn't come with the driver and it need to install 12G files to make it work? Damn
Yes, but that laptop must run Windows 8.1 or later and have: • Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or better; AMD Radeon RX 480 or better • Processor: Intel Core i5-4590 or better; AMD Ryzen 5 1500X or better • Memory: 8GB or more RAM • Video Output: One compatible HDMI 1.3 video output • Input: Three USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 port
Good thing this out of focus video was recorded in HD, because otherwise, it would've looked all blurry....

That's dedication right there.

I ordered mine two days ago man i'm so excited
I'm glad it helped :)
Yeah Ahmed, I know what your mean - I don't think I have ever been so internally "buzzing" about any other one single product/hardware?
how can i plug my headset and my hdmi at the same time it says my hdmi isn’t connected but everything else is i need help!
Can you use PlayStation and your phone for oculus
@@hamza-ih8ut what? lol. how?
it keeps saying installing and its not working
luckily i installed it but now steamvr says run room setup
there is a patch for it on the website
I have finally saved enough money to buy one, it's took a year, but i now have enough, is it still plauseable or is it outdated?
Buy one. It is worth it and furthermore it is a great time to get into vr.
@@flyboygames2587 thinking about buying a rift after i get my tat lol but my pc is like minimum specs so i hope it will be fine
It's still a great experience.
You could Get WMR
Please Help I dont see that Menu 13:00 and its Say My GTX 950 does not meet Minimum Requirments, I dont see Display in VR
thats because your graphics card doesnt meet the minimum requirements for vr i believe
Thnx for making this i needed to know how to set it up
No problem. Thanks for watching.
Do you need a Xbox one Controller?
I use a Xbox controller to play racing games in VR on my rift... Depends what games you play
How do you plug in both your monitor and VR HDMI at the same time?
Some GPUs have 2 HDMI outs
Maybe use a HDMI to display port adapter and plug your monitor into that then the adapter into a display port (if you have one) then plug the rift into the HDMI port
how did you fix the hdmi problem?
I recently bought this... But whenever I am launching a new game after downloading it... It just not open... And all other added games like... The one u played in your video or any other 2-3 pre-installed games.. only those are running
I only have one HDMI port and I have my monitor plugged into it. How do I fix this?
get an hdmi splitter
I setup it up and it didn’t work it kept wanting updates, and when it finished it never worked. I need help
Never gave me the account option
It's always good to reboot your computer after a software update. Were you able to get it to work?
TechHarvest no. I’ve tried it a lot and I’ve tried whitelisting ports and etc. I think it’s because of the graphics card isn’t compatible with oculus. So I think we’re going to need to get a new computer, unfortunately. Thanks for the help.

It's pretty mind blowing. I'm sure you'll enjoy it unless you're prone to motion sickness which most people aren't.
Looks easy to set up. Right?
My pc isn't working with the HDMI either, but its a very new pc, there shouldn't be anything wrong with the graphics card
This is amazing thank you very much TechHarvest
I'm glad that I could help. Thanks for watching. :)
Can I download the oculus rift app on tv?

Tom Lally check cables?
What is the xbox controller for plz answer?
It is a way to control games. It is only one option though. You can use other methods of input.
Whenever I do sensor setup it says request timed out couldn’t initiate tracking
I would check my connections. If you're still having the same problems, you might want to reinstall the Oculus software.
Quick question, did you just use the 2 sensors or order a 3rd??
I'm using just the 2.
Help i only have 1 HDMI port and I need it for my monitor but Oculus also needs an HDMI port
Eli Satlof I'm not saying this will work, but maybe get a hdmi splitter with two hdmi ports?
You must have dvi port..use dvi port for monitor
If you have a gpu, it should have 2 or 3 but you might be using the motherboard hdmi and maybe have not plugged your gpu in
And do u need the xbox controller?
No.
do i need a xbox controller?
do u need a certain kind of pc to install or setup the oculus rift?
Yes, there are minimum system requirements to run the rift.

hey what graphics card are you using to run Oculus rift?
Gtx 950 i think
GTX 960 is the lowest minimum supported by Oculus. if someone is running on a 950 there's a good chance of getting motion sickness even on low settings.
Well actually spacial warping pretty much removes motion sickness from frame drops
GTX 1060
GTX 1080............

Does this work on my gaming computer
what are your specs
Oculus has a test that you can run on your PC to see if it's VR ready. Download it and try it out.
It says it can't connect when I do that and I run the compatibility tool and it says that it can't read the USB what do I do
is it better i install software to SSD or is HHD okay?
gives me an error every time cant reach oculus runtime service.. do you guys know whats up?
If i buy oculus, is controlers included and sensors and such?
Yes :)
I'm doing this at the same date and time 2 years later.....
Sure
Do u have to get an xbox?
No. This is PC only.
How many USB ports do you need for you computer avaliable to have the whole Oculus work?
I have been really confused about this. I really wanna by the Oculus but I wanna make sure I can even use it on my computer before I buy it :'D
Three usb 3.0 or one 3.0 and 2 2.0
3 USB, 1 HTMI
this is the pain on the ass. I stuck at the installation stage for few hours, error in installation but it doesn't indicate any further detail. How come the hardware doesn't come with the driver and it need to install 12G files to make it work? Damn
