Thats what I plan to do. When it works its really fun and the tape seems to be a perfect fix, at least for me. Black electrical tape doesnt leave any residue and is a almost perfect match for the headset's finish; can barely see it. Edit- Removed the tape and played for an hour today and didnt have any issues. Main house AC was on so it was a decent amount cooler in my room. Also didnt cover up my large mirror on my wall.... lel *Shrug* Going to look into getting a small cheap 5000 BTU GE Air Conditioner just for in here to take the edge off. Crazy HTC cant figure out the problem. Id almost suggest them sending someone out to an affected house just to test.

Just bought a Vive a few days ago and Im having the same problem. Lighthouses are 6ft 8in up (Wall Mounted, ceilings are 7ft high), 12ft away from one another (Optical Sync), angled down at 35 degrees (measured using a protractor). They are looking dead on to each other according to the room overview. Link box is connected to a Tripplite Isobar and both Lighthouses are connected directly to the wall. Logged the voltage at the electrical socket for a while and didnt see any Voltage drops, so I doubt its power. Link box is connected via USB to the Asmedia USB3 port(s) on my Asus Z87-Plus Mobo. Intel USB3 or USB2 doesnt seem to make a difference. Im using the mini DP to DP cable as my HDMI is currently in use. My play space is 2.2x1.8M. The room is 11ftx11ft. If you imagine an 11ftx11ft 2D square with up being the North wall and down being the South wall; Lighthouse B is mounted on the North wall to the left 27inches from the corner and Lighthouse C is mounted on the south wall to the right 16inches from the corner. I live in north Flordia and am in a room with no AC, just a fan, so its not uncommon for my room to be anywhere from 82-95F (27-35C). Ive noticed that the unit is fine for around 50mins (from a cold boot) then the grey flashes start when looking straight down then eventually (20-30 more mins) start to happen in any direction. If I keep a fan pointed at my face, it doesnt ever seem to happen. If I cover the, when looking directly at the front of the HMD, the left sensor directly inline from the camera, with a peice of black electrical tape, I never have the problem again. Covered all reflective surfaces. *Shrug* I dont even think the front of the HMD feels that hot. Its clearly hottest around the camera though. Maybe its SteamVR being derpy? I dont know at this point. Im not using the Beta version. I would love for it to be something else, such as some lazer being bounced in some crazy manner I havent thought of but Ive tried everything I know to do. It always seems to be the left side of my room (from default orientation looking at the South wall, away from monitor), but I cant imagine what it could be. I do have taller (waist height) furniture on that side..... Trying to be as descriptive as possible. Also Im 5ft 10in. Could it be my height? Doesnt seem like it happens to the shorter female members of my family, thought Ive yet to test that extensively. Ive seen them play for well over an hour and while they dont stare at the floor like I do to see if there is a problem, ive watched the mirror display from the HMD on the monitor and havent seen any grey flashes (that couldnt be contributed to someone walking in and out the room blocking the lighthouse near the door) 4670K at 4.4GHz GTX 1070 (397.64) 16GB RAM Windows 10 64bit 17134
