Which version of Oculus Runtime for Windows? #5

The readme links to 0.4.4, but the latest version is 0.8.0.0.

Yeah, we have tested with 0.4.4 and kept that version as our current. You can try with a more recent version and let us know how it works. Though this example doesn't run on Mac, 0.4.4 is also the last Oculus Runtime version that runs on Mac.

0.4.4 is the latest tested, I think from 0.7.0 extended mode is not allowed anymore. It you are interested in contributing, look at our TODOs

I tried installing Oculus Runtime 0.4.4 on a new (clean install) Windows 10 laptop and the computer wouldn't get past the booting screen... I restored the computer then tried 0.7.0 as apparently, Windows only supports 0.7.0 and later versions of the runtime, and the booting problem seems to be a common one: https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/4auv7l/help_installing_oculus_runtime_prevents_computer/

With 0.7.0 I could see my screen in the Oculus but the Config Utility doesn't support extended mode, and The-Machine-to-be-Another.exe would crash at startup. I think it's because the Config Utility wouldn't detect the Oculus ("HMD powered off check HDMI connection"). In the end, I tried runtime 0.5.1, and with this version, the problematic driver (riftenabler.sys file) doesn't automatically installs and the runtime still detects the Oculus. AND The-Machine-to-be-Another.exe still works!! Thought it was worth sharing this troubleshooting. I found this thread useful to solve the issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/3ssl19/windows_10_gaming_laptop_doesnt_see_dk2/
