*******POSSIBLE TEMPORARY FIX********

DISABLE DIRECT DISPLAY in steam - I've been having the weird headset lag, about 300-400ms lag between headset movements and tracking.  All stats are in the green, but that still happens.
With steam direct display enabled (the normal way) I have this problem.  With direct display disabled, it goes away COMPLETELY.  You have to get it to treat your headset as a monitor, and then open steam vr and play like normal.  THIS CAN BREAK SOME GAMES as steamVR doesn't like non-direct display very much.  A lot of games can cause it to go funny until you click on the screen in steam vr with your mouse. Good luck everyone.

@Exavolt give this a shot let me know if it works.

Nope, I'm still getting unacceptable frame drops consistently with my 4080 on my Vive Pro 1, tried the direct display disable method already so yeah... Support is yet to give me an answer, and running it on my 3060ti, RX6950XT, and the integrated graphics on my R9 7900x none of them have this issue, only the 4080. I keep telling support this in emails but they keep insisting it's an issue on my end and that the Vive Pro 1 isn't affected by this issue (it obviously is)

So here is my question.  I've been following this *explicative* thread for FAR too long waiting on someone at HTC to get off their insanely comfortable lazy *explicative* rear-ends and FIX THIS *explicative* problem.  I purchased my Vive Pro 2 from Amazon (Amazon was the seller) back in mid October 2022.  Because Amazon started their holiday return season for anything purchased from October - Jan 31 I can return this thing. 

 

My question to all of you is - do I remove the lighthouses from my walls and pack all this hunk of crap up or do I continue to sit here like a lap dog and wait for someone at HTC to give a *explicative* about their customers and address this problem?  I can play beat saber.....that's it.  For everything else I have been forced back to my Q2 since I purchased my 4090.....MONTHS NOW. 

SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME ON HTC.  More concentrated on releasing their crappy new AR headset no one with a right mind will purchase than addressing the issue completely BREAKING their only "pro" consumer headset.  Excellent *explicative* idea.  Bloody brilliant. 

 

So....RETURN?  Or stick it out?  

Hate to say this because I really do love my Vive Pro, but honestly if you are still in the return window I'd advise returning it. The Vive Pro 2 is quickly becoming an antiquated headset and there are MUCH more exciting HMDs coming out in 2023, both basestation tracked and inside out thanks to the push for all headsets to utilize at least 2000x2000 per eye miniLED and pancake lenses. The Vive Pro 2 may have a high resolution but it's sweet spot is terrible and for what it costs, it's kind of not worth it. I 100% struggle to recommend this headset in 2023, and I'd even go as far as to say it was the same for the end of 2022. If the 4080 and 4090 didn't have the SAME ISSUE with the Vive Pro 1, I'd recommend that with basestation 2.0's and index controllers as a hold-over (you can get a Vive Pro used for $300 or less) but alas, even the original Vive Pro and I spent over a week exchanging emails with technical support until they simply stopped replying after blaming my PC for it and telling me to install drivers from mid 2022... on a 4080.

Like I said earlier.. if you've got the itch and deep enough pockets for a significant upgrade just go with a Varjo Aero, it'll be a better experience and the one issue I had with mine (usb cable was acting funky) they literally sent me a replacement cable overnight with only 2 email exchanges, not even asking for the bad one back or anything.

Dear HTC Support Team: The time you take to fix something a serious as this is to high, this is unacceptable to us consumers. Please put this kind of things in your prioritizes, otherwise people will start choosing other brand VR Headsets, which dont have or solve their problems quicker.

Thanks

Exactly this, infact...

Nope. They are keeping everyone in the dark about actually working on a fix. I'm looking into something comparable or maybe a bit better that is not HTC so I can get back into VR. Right now, it's not even worth putting on. Anyone have recommendations for other quality headsets?  

If you're willing to spend a bit over twice the price of a Vive Pro 2 (tall order but I mean I'm still going to at least recommend it) I ultimately ended up buying a Varjo Aero a week after I got my 4080 and honestly, I've enjoyed it so much more than my Vive Pro 2 that I recently sold it as I lost faith in HTC solving this issue in a timely manner as it's apparently not enough of a priority for them, especially considering the issue was solved by Varjo within weeks of the 4090 release. I've kept my Vive Pro 1 as I did the GearVR lens mod on it and honestly think it's a far superior HMD to the Vive Pro 2 anyways and I hope to use it again one day... but I'm not having high hopes at this point.

Sorry folks for the late response, we are not forgeting the 40-series users. 
We are still in the middle of discussion with Nvidia R&D team, as they were previous at holiday seasons.
Once they send us the test driver, we will varify the solution as soon as we can. Thank you all for your patient. 

Will this also address the performance issues with the original Vive Pro on the 4090 and 4080? I've been unable to use either my Vive Pro 2 or Vive Pro eversince getting an RTX 4080.
