Hackers at it again

It took a hacker just a day to come up with a workaround for the platform update Oculus released last week, which blocked users from running the company's games on rival virtual reality systems.

Version 1.4 of the Oculus App blocked a hack from LibreVR called "Revive," which allowed users to play Oculus games on rival systems, including the HTC Vive and Valve.

A day later, the Revive developer found a way to work around the digital rights management included in the Oculus patch "I still do not support piracy," said the developer, who asked users not to use the workaround for pirated copies. "I really didn't want to go down this path, but I feel there is no other way.This release bypasses the Oculus Platform DRM in Unreal Engine games, so the entitlement check doesn't fail because the headset isn't connected." LibreVR insists that it does not support piracy.
