    Has anyone else tried setting up the Rift DK2 on an M11x? I know it doesn't meet the minimum specs, but I jsut want to try some demos.

    I got as far as installing the latest runtime. There are no unknown devices in device manager. The VR service is running, but when I start the Oculus app it says it can't contact the service.

    Should I try an older version of the runtime? I heard 0.8 is more lenient towards the hardware requirements.

    I'm using the latest nVidia drivers as well.
