The previous version of the Second Life Oculus Rift project viewer version 3.96 was only for for the Oculus development kit versions (DK1 and DK2) and has been reported on in previous blog posts. I'd also like to note that you should never ever EVER, in your entire lifetime, accept direct links to Viewer downloads, i've got a blog and a download link there which sends you to a explanatory pre-download page which should clear up some first-start issues and explain the difference between AVX/nonAVX, many people skip it because they get direct links and with direct links i cannot make sure that you will land on the actual download page and download the same file as i do whenever i go after a potential virus report.On 1st July 2016 Linden Lab released a first version of their Oculus Rift Viewer version 4.13 which is meant to work with the newer Oculus runtime 1.3 and hence to support the CV1 consumer version of the Oculus Rift. I do take privacy and security serious too and i investigate any report i may get about shady stuff going on (just got a big boomer a day ago) hence why i don't use a normal installer, it allows you to simply open the installer with WinRar (or 7zip) and look right into it or extract it manually if you don't trust the "installer", it should also make it much easier for any antivirus software to scan it. well almost, it could be a zip actually but i figured a simple installer would help people who are. Well keep in mind that this is self-published, self-packed executable and moreover a WinRar "installer". I understand that this doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong. This is different than what happened yesterday. Tried the Black Dragon again and while I didn't get a series of "you don't want to do this" type of messages the install was blocked. I could install it also as expected with no extra warnings etc. I downloaded the Catznip viewer (using Brave with no issues) and it worked as expected. Doubt my notebook would run it all that well of course, but a good test. I could also see what the file does on my notebook which hasn't had the big update (two hours for a friend who has to babysit his as he has passwords on while I do not - I just went to bed LOL). I guess I should test another viewer download and see if I get the same warnings. Guessing it is most likely the "new to me" Win10 updated security. Apart from the obligatory "I dont want to run this because it's a new file and I dont know the publisher" from windows, and the usual digital dopeslap from my keyboard to make it do as I darn well tell it to, no flags or warnings. I got a clean download and good install with firefox and a security setup that's probably about as paranoid as yours is. I am still getting plenty of warning messages from both Edge and Windows Defender though. Here is a screenshot of what was happening.īy using Edge browser which has no ad blocking on it (for me) I could get the exe file to download. I downloaded both the 3 hours old version (what I was going for) and the one below that just in case it was a file issue.ĮDIT: I figured out part of the issue. I have never seen this happen before so slightly puzzled. Also important to note that I got the new Windows update early this morning and that could be part of the issue. So my question is - is this normal? Am I supposed to rename the file back to exe so that I can install? I didn't see any mention of this on the blog so confused. I always scan for viruses before installing and did that but there is nothing wrong with the file (I didn't expect there to be). Haven't tried it in years but adventure is good.īut after reading and studying and downloading - the EXE file (I tried two different ones) changes extensions with a warning. By chance I was looking at the viewer blog and planning to download. So Black Dragon viewer was just updated the to BOM (three hours ago).
