Fresh install of windows 10, vive, and steam, and I get 100% processor usage at all times when vive wireless is working, even in steam VR home which is simple. VR compositor, VR tours, and System are my main users. PResumably System is the driver interacting with the kernel in windows 10, and it's usually down around 10% or lower. So I don't believe this is an issue of data compression taking too much CPU. This is some other problem. Games all run just fine when wired, of course. Also, this thing does not work on windows 7. a travesty. Why did HTC put out advertisements claiming it works on windows 7? BAsed on my reading of the internet, to my knowledge, no one running windows 7 has made vive wireless work (that's why I tried this on a fresh windows 10 install). I would recommend adding your detailed PC specs, it can be helpful when their support team reviews this issue.

Well, I was finally able to resolve the issue on my end. It's not going to be the solution you want to hear, but I wanted to share. Again, these were all brand new parts except the GPU: ASRock Z370 Killer SLI/ac Intel Core i5-8600K @ 4.6GHz G.SKILL 16GB DDR4 3000MHz EVGA GTX 1070 SC Clean Win10 install on SSD I tried every since PCIe slot, and the issue was the same. Works perfect when wired, choppy mess when on wireless. CPU and GPU both around 50% utilization. Bought a second wireless adapter, still the same issue. Finally I decided to try a second new motherboard, and went with the ASUS ROG Maximus X Code. Installed the wireless adapter in PCIEX1_2 (just below the GPU), and everything works beautifully. No tinkering, no BIOS changes, just installed the wireless software and everything works perfect. It truly is a beautiful solution once it actually works. I've put in 2-3 hours a day since I installed it on Tuesday (3 days ago), and haven't had a single problem. TLDR; Changed out my already brand-new motherboard for the ASUS ROG Maximus X Code, and now it works seamlessly.

I wish that were true, but for me I have the same issue no matter which slot I put it in. And all of my hardware is brand new. I've tried every slot on my board (all listed as 3.0). Per the manual, the PCIE2 slot must be used for the GPU. I've tried the wireless adapter card in every other slot on the board (PCIE1, 3, 4, 5, 6). I've manually set the slots to be Gen3. I also tried a brand new wireless adapter - no luck. Specs again just to clarify: ASRock Z370 Killer SLI/ac Intel Core i5 8600K, OC 4.5GHz 16GB DDR4 3000 Nvidia 1070 SC Fresh install of Win10 Pro on SSD

Sadly I have this exact same issue, and have been trying for weeks to fix it. I have tried every PCIe slot on my board (all listed as 3.0), and the issue remains. I even bought a second (brand new) wireless adapter kit, and it has the same problem. So it must be something with my setup. However this is a brand new build, upgraded everything just so I could be ready for wireless. (*sigh*) ASRock Z370 Killer SLI/ac Intel Core i5 8600K, OC 4.5GHz 16GB DDR4 3000 Nvidia 1070 SC Fresh install of Win10 Pro on SSD A few notes: - Works perfect when wired - Tried all 3 modes on wireless app - Tried turning off all wireless devices in the house - Tried Enabling 4G decoding on PCIe - Tried every PCIe slot on the mobo - Tried reinstalling Wireless App and SteamVR - I have the latest drivers and BIOS - CPU usage is below 50%, GPU usage is below 60% - Problem exists in all games, SteamVR menu, chaperone boundaries, everywhere - All of this hardware is BRAND NEW, and everything works beautifully when wired - Problem occurs on both Wireless Adapters that I've purchased I desperately want this to work. I really don't want to go back to wired, especially after buying all these upgrades JUST to be able to use wireless. Please help us!
