[sOLUTION] at least for me. Background of issue: after 20-30 minutes my vive would grey screen more and more frequently until unusable. Solution that worked for me- covering up one of the front bottom sensors on the VIVE headset. I read in another forum somewhere that someone had similar issue and they would cover up one of the front bottom sensors and then they wouldn't ever encounter these issues anymore. What I did to figure out which one to cover up is just use my finger to test out different sensors. It appears that this solution actually works by covering up one of several of the front bottom to bottom-middle sensors. I chose one of these sensors and put a sticker on it and now I don't have this issue anymore. Really strange. , hopefully this info helps. any idea of why covering up just one sensor of several of the bottom sensors would fix this issue? Best,

I'm experiencing the same issue. Here's some info to help your team resolve: Re: flashing grey screen [ New ] Issue: Vive works perfectly find for 20-30 minutes when i'm playing the archery game in the lab since thats what i usually play. then grey screen starts to appear more and more and then in about 4 minutes it goes completely grey. Ive spent a couple weeks trying to work on this with suggestions from every type of forum and still not working. 1) The manufacture date of your Vive. This can be found by sliding off the 3-in-1 cable compartment cover. 2016 2) The rough date that you started expericing problems Unsure exactly since this was bought 2nd hand but started a couple days after i purchased it around June 15th 3) Any environmental factors you feel may be influencing the problem no. 4) Any workarounds you find that alleviates the issue, even if it's impractical just optimize the lighthouse positions and play area aleviates it maybe to allow it to work another 10 minutes

good to know this is being worked on . my vive works fine for 20-30 minutes but then drastically starts to stop work with more and more grey screens.
