Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Oculus SDK 1.23.0.

What's new in this version:

New Features:
- VRC Validator GUI: The Virtual Reality Check (VRC) Validator utility runs automated tests to determine if your Rift app is ready for Oculus Store technical review. The VRC Validator now provides an easy-to-use GUI interface (in addition to the commandline interface that has been available in previous releases). The GUI interface can be launched from the Oculus Debug Tool. For more information, see VRC Validator

API Changes:
- The following error codes were added: OVR_ErrorCode.h:

ovrError_DisplayLimitReached = -6009,
ovrError_ExternalCameraInitializedFailed = -1019,
ovrError_ExternalCameraCaptureFailed = -1020,
ovrError_ExternalCameraNameListsBufferSize = -1021,
ovrError_ExternalCameraNameListsMistmatch = -1022,
ovrError_ExternalCameraNotCalibrated = -1023,
ovrError_ExternalCameraNameWrongSize = -1024,

Known SDK Issues:
- The sample project, LibOVR.vcxproj, cannot be used with Visual Studio 2010 and 2012. If you compile this project with those Visual Studio versions, it will not load. A fix for this issue is expected in the 1.23 PC-SDK release
- There's a bug affecting the Guardian System API by which color set operations to the visualized grid don't work if they are called while the HMD is not being worn
