DiRT Rally 2.0 Version 1.9 Released – Oculus VR Mode Added

Codemasters released the 1.9 update for DiRT Rally 2.0 today and obviously the big news with this update is that ‘Oculus VR Mode’ has been added when launching the game. This is far superior and gets rids of many complaints VR users had. Other than that, I see a lot of decent fixes that should improve the overall quality of life when running DR2, but nothing that fixes a bug I ever experienced.
