Hello!

I have some issues with my HTC Vive Pro 2 and can't really explain in words what is going on. I would love to record it, but all guides I find are both several years old and require downloading stuff like OBS.

I basically just want to ask if there is an easier way nowadays that is either built in or does not require me to set up Programs like OBS? Quality and duration can be very low.

Thanks in advance!

I have an original Vive headset I use for sim racing with a single base station on the desk behind the wheelbase. Have had zero issues with this set up until recently. Couple months back, the base station I was using started making a grinding sound. No biggy, its old, I'll just swap it out for my other base station. Except the headset refuses to track with this other base station, screen stays grey.

I've tried reinstalling the software and drivers, different ports, different cables, unpairing the old base station. No luck.

Any ideas?

When I'm connecting headset to my PC with DisplayPort and USB the USB connection is not detected in Vive Cosmos Elite Guide program. I found out that reason is something installed on my system drive. I plugged headset to another PC and it worked fine until I booted it with my drive, then it again couldn't detect connection. Is it possible that other programs or drivers can interupt detecting USB? If so, can you name some of them so I can check uninstall them?

Im running into what feels like countless problems/issues when trying to get my trackers set up, my USB Dongle craddle doesn't seem to wanna work with my PC no matter how many times I try to plug it in/set it up By the Vive app, i tried using different USB cables/ports but also usb ports on my USB hub and my PC doesn't have any USB C ports so I have to use adapters, and Im upset/stumped cuz I really want FBT to start working Because I commissioned a VR chat avatar, so I wanna get FBT working with it.

It works fine but the second i pick up the headset it just close's itself and I dont know what to do.Could anybody give me some advice on what to do to fix the problem? I would be really greatfull

I have a Quest 3 with a link cable, and wanted to know if they were worth the $500 price. I expect them to not have better tracking than base stations, but I want to know if they're reliable enough for me to actually considering buying it

Hello, I currently have a bobo vr s3 pro halo strap and it started to crack so i wanted to check out some other options for head straps. I was just wondering if anyone was still using the HTC vive Deluxe audio head strap in 2024 and if it was still worth it because i wanted to take my 3d printer and mod it after but I liked the built in headphone option.

I’ve recently gotten my hands on the Meta Quest 3 and I’m trying to connect it to my laptop running Pop!_OS (based on Linux). I want to explore some PC VR experiences and maybe tinker with some development projects using the Quest 3.

After a bit of digging, I found some general guides for connecting VR headsets to Linux, but I’ve run into trouble, particularly with ALVR. I tried setting it up for wireless streaming, but couldn’t get it to work reliably. If anyone has tips for troubleshooting ALVR on Linux, that’d be a big help.

If you’ve successfully set this up or have experience with Linux + VR headsets, I’d love to hear your advice! I’m also open to suggestions for alternative tools or setups if Meta's official solutions don’t play nice with Linux.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, I’m considering buying an HTC Vive, but I’m concerned my PC might not be powerful enough. Here are my specs:

• Operating System: Windows 11 Pro
• Graphics Card: 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (MSI)
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 6-Core
• RAM: 32GB
• Motherboard: Gigabyte A620M H (AM5)

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hello all! I’m very new to the whole VR scene so bear with me. I recently got a Pro 2 during Cyber Monday and was pretty excited to get it set up. Trying out a game or two here and there but coming across some performance issues. I like to think I have a pretty beefy PC so any insight as to what it could be would be appreciated. I am currently running Blade and Sorcery through Steam only getting 45 fps with frame drops.

PC Specs: Ryzen 9 7950 X3D Gigabyte 4070 Ti 32 GB DDR5 6400 mhz

As mentioned, any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!

for some reason my pc is not detecting my tracker dongle even if it is connected to the cradle but to fix this issue i need to reinstall vive hub and then it detects it but when i turn off my pc and the next day i wanna play i encounter the same issue

1.i have a vive cosmos elite 2. Will 2.0 base stations work with it 3. If they will work with it can I just screw them on the old wall mounts or is the screw hole a different size

I've been using the Focus Vision with the full DP Streaming Kit, I'm even getting the orange icon showing it's DisplayPort, but my battery is still draining like if I was in standalone mode. I'm averaging two to two and a half hours of use before the battery dies.

Wasn't it getting plugged into the wall and computer supposed to run the headset and not use the battery? Or am I doing something wrong?

I'm pretty bad at home Reno type stuff and two of my wall anchors fell through. Anyone here used it with only one screw per basestation mount?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I don't see a straight answer anywhere.

I want to replace my G2 for use in MSFS, of which I have the Microsoft Store version, so no Steam. When I have made the mistake of still having Steam running there's a noticeable performance hit.

The Focus Vision is my top choice at this point for replacing my G2, but if I'll be forced to run Steam in order to use the headset then I would be rethinking that choice.

I am looking to purchase a Vive Pro 2, and I already have the Wireless adapter. I want to know if the Short cable in the upgrade kit is compatible with the Vive Pro 2.

thanks!

Hello, everyone. 
Can I be contacted by gamers who have VR and are available to play the game? I will give them an our game EvilPunk key and ask them to play the game. I want to make sure that the game has no optimization issues with SteamVR.

I have 1.0 basestations. I got them second hand and wanted to plug them in to test them. they were both green until the one on the c channel started flashing red. help please

Im using the quest 3 and three 3.0 vive trackers, two 2.0 base stations, and I used theopenVR software to calibrate them. The trackers all track my movements, but only either the left ankle tracker OR right ankle tracker will ever be synced to it's actual position... When I calibrate the left one, then the right gets displaced and acts as if it's being tracked in a mirror 5 feet away, then vice versa when I calibrate the right one. I've followed the steps of multiple videos to set this all up over the last few days.

Something to note, my base stations in steam VR look to be overlapping each other in the same spot, but they are actually opposite of each other in my room setup. Both in corners, looking down.

Hey,I have the vp2 for a while and while for the original vive it was easy to find quality thinner facecover I can't find anything for the VP2,only some questionable items in temu-aliexpress.

Can someone please suggest me something,thanks.

the light blinks slowly and controller doesnt track, i cant find anything on why. steamvr shows it as up to date. the other controller is blinking white rapidly but tracks fine (also up to date)

So my problem is that, at random my headset will lose tracking (it will only display gray) then the audio on my computer will bug out, and lag my computer. After a few minutes of this it will freeze and blue screen. Sometimes it does this, sometimes it doesn't. But it has been getting more and more frequent, making it almost impossible to play anything without it completely crashing my computer. Most of the time it only happens when playing something, I haven't experienced it when I'm not in a game.

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing my graphics drivers, unplugged everything and removed the device drivers and then plugged everything back in.

HTC really needs to get it together with their Pcvr software.

On a few games with the Vive focus vision like vr Skyrim and Saints and Sinners Retribution Chapter 2 even though there was plenty of light on for some reason the controllers weren’t being tracked by the headset at all and the only button that worked was when I pushed down the joystick.

I did not have this type of issue when getting on a game with my BigScreen beyond or my Pimax Crystal Light so HTC needs to update that jank software. We should not have to go through a bunch of trouble just to get our vr controllers to properly work in newer games without bugs occurring.

HTC makes good hardware but they really should do something about their software in the future because it’s pretty terrible and complicated when playing games.

I've been on it for weeks now.... (head moving issue)-im having an issue when i move my head it would make another picture thats glitchy or be very blurry..

another one loading issue- if my games just load it would start super blurry like if im looking through those drinking goggles aswell as if i turn a certain way the game would look like it got thanos snap into existence then come back.

i messed with my resolution down to 2600×2600 (was 3564×3564) didnt work. messed with display setting on vive this kinda help a little when i did the performance setting but still had the loading issue aswell and did a unistall on steam vr and vive plus restarting my drivers turned off nvidia overlay didnt help..

But there are 3 things i think are the issues but not sure..

Steam vr- because it mostly shows more issues on steam vr home then my games

My gpu needs bit more cooling (highest it went was 76° tho)

And finally my cords is messed up (its all twisted but some of it is straight but havent gotten a full black screen)

Specs gpu- rtx 3080 - cpu-intel core i7

• vive pro 2 is wired

-steam vr and vive setting are on a ssd -operating on windows 11( already turn off gpu scheduling )

Hi i need help this was the error i got in vivecraft

Hey, just trying to setup some 1.0 base stations i got second hand since i recently got a big screen beyond and am trying to set them up properly. however when i have them both on on b and c channel respectively the screen flashes grey very often in the headset which i found out meant a tracking issue of some kind, and i tested each base station individually during which no flashing at all occurred so i don't know what the actual issue is, any help would be appreciated

Has anyone experienced an issue with the vibe pro 2 when you look around you get double vision and the image looks jittery?

Does anyone have experience using a 3.0 to USB-C for their wired connection? Does it impact the quality? I don’t believe I have a usbc connection on my pc..

Hello i have a question maybe someone can help me. I will scan my playspace calibrate trackers all is almost perfect but next day when i turn them on iit saying lost tracking and cannot do anything else than just scan my space again. Is there any fix to this ? Quest 3 using Virtual desktop

I know I said I was frustrated with HTC’s software but I kinda hope they do a remaster of the XR Elite with a display port so we can take advantage of the full resolution in pcvr even though it’s not very high.

The Vive focus Vision was technically a remaster and upgrade from the Vive focus 3 for an even cheaper price which I’m blown away by.

It’s just others may like the compact size of the Xr elite and it might be a more transportable vr headset you can take everywhere.
