Hi,
I experience heavy issues leading to seriously consider returning the Cosmos headset:
1. Headset "not tracking" on Vive while Steam VR states "tracking" (note: why on earth do I need both Vive and Steam at the same time, oscillating between SteamVR office and the viveport VR…)
2. Launching the Viveport VR end up with the main monitor screening the VR "mirror" display but the headset displaying my room thru the incorporated cams
3. Steam stuff not working (google earth VR, Steam 360 etc.)
4. Some of the Videos in Viveport VR seems to be regular 360 but not 360 + VR (=2D video shown on a 360 screen, no 3D effect)
I receive the Cosmos yesterday. I had the HTC Vive before and was overall happy with it, although I have the feeling developer do their best to confuse VR owner but at least I manage to get VR working (using VorpX to emulate real games mostly, I never understood the enthousiasm for controllers afterwall to play very average games, but enjoyed playing Witcher 3, Bioshock, Soma, etc. in VR).
I went thru the Cosmos set up without any issues and it was working fine it seems until I realize nothing like the HTC vive is working: Steam VR seems to be misfunctioning. Launching the video app "Steam 360", I have a black screen in the headset. Google earth VR is not working etc.
Then, on restart of my computer, the headset was no more "tracking" on Vive, resulting in not displaying in the headset the Viveport in VR. I thus proceeded with reperforming the set up, which led to the headset working again. But on restart of the computer, same issues again, the headset was not displaying the Viveport VR or any VR at all.
To launch the VIVEPORT VR, I doubled click on the icon VIVEPORT on my desktop then, on top right corner I click on VIVEPORT VR; then the monitor is screening a "mirror view" of what the headset is supposed to display like a mirror, but the headset, although the headset LED has turned green and same for the intermediate interface adapter, isn't displaying anything but my room through the headset cam and showing "the light is too low, a better light will improve the experience" message. Yes, sorry VIVE, to play on my computer at night without nuclear powered lights next to it.
Can you please advise what is wrong with my COSMOS set up ?
Attached is the picture of the weird Steam "headset tracking ok" and VIVE "not tracking".
