    I can't read that setup info as its too small but after i had set all the hardware up i just went to the Oculus site ,after i had created an account and signed in i clicked on rift and it detected my DK2 and it went through its motion of installing all the drivers for me ,,,after it finished it had also downloaded and installed the oculus home for me where i just did the calibration where you skip the part with the camera and job done ,,,
    After that the orange light on my dk2 had turned green and i was up and running ,,,

    Is he plugging the dk2 + camera into the usb 3.0 ports on his PC,,,?

    After my dk2 was setup in oculus home i opened Steam ,, downloaded steam VR and was good to go...

    i can't leave any links as im not on my gaming PC right now..

    Oh and after i did all that i did go onto the oculus site and download the oculus sdk 1.13 ,,,i think 1.14 is out now but i just downloaded it so i could use the oculus debug tool for supersampling.

    brilliant will get him to try that ok.
    think i told him wrong and he just downloaded the oculus home.
    it is working but flickering.
    he has tried it in both the usb2 and 3 but like i said to him its very sensitive to usb and keep swopping around in the pc and check for new drivers ect...
    thank you matey.

    No probs dude ,,, after he install's the drivers through the oculus site that should sort out his USB problem,,,,
    i noticed the same the first time i plugged my dk2 & camera in to my PC and instantly thought oh crap i hope that isn't going to be a nightmare ,,,, anyway all was cool once drivers got installed.
