SteamVR has been updated with the following changes:
  • Updated to Oculus VR SDK v0.4.2
  • Fixed OSX issue with long user names (was causing HmdError_IPC_ConnectFailed)
  • SteamVR's Play button will now switch Steam into VR mode (rather than bringing you to the Oculus website)
  • Fixed case where the second SteamVR application to start would not get the right screen configuration. This appeared in Source games as the VR window only showing on one eye.

Important: The latest OVR SDK requires you to use their latest runtime. You can download that from their website here: https://developer.oculusvr.com/?action=dl&p=sdk&v=21

This runtime also includes a firmware update (v2.12) which you should apply via the Oculus Configuration Utility (Tools > Advanced > Update Firmware...).
