All of Oculus' Rift headsets have stopped working.

Overnight, the Oculus Rift headsets stopped working due to a security certificate that is causing some problems. Users encountered a "Can't Reach Oculus runtime Service" error, which prevented further use of the headset. The problem appears to affect most, if not all, Oculus Rift headsets.

That’s weird that the mewbot is posting this now.

What other option exists?

  • Sell your Oculus Rift.
  • Throw your Oculus Rift away so no one else has to sit with a nonworking set.
  • Sacrifice your set to the VR gods to appease them so others may continue to experience VR
  • Take it apart, maybe you can fix it?
  • Use it as a doorstop.

In which case it says quite a bit what they think of their customers if that is the one they come out and publicly “recommend” :smiley:

Haha guys, this article is from a while ago which is why I asked the Mewbot question.

It was not only fixed but Oculus gave each of us $15 store credit.

I believe it generates the thread when someone loads the article the first time. I guess since mewbot was launched no one had clicked on the article.

Yeah I know. Didn’t know about the $15 store credit though, that’s quite cool.
