_benkl Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Neither setting the idle time up nor changing to beta steamvr fixed my problem. I can sporadically get it working by uninstalling steam vr entirtely and unplugging my second monitor. Quite frustrating for such an expensive piece of hardware to not work for a couple of weeks.

deaedius Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I have the exact same problem. Usually a full on PC reboot resolves. The headset will go to sleep within seconds of SteamVR loading and not recover, I have downgraded nvidia drivers from 390.77 to 390.65 which the problem appeared after the intial upgrade to 390.77 but I cannot remember. I have had one strange behavior that seems to tie in, when a controller goes to sleep and the HTC screen goes to sleep and SteamVR is restarted I get a 3rd controller populate sometimes all 3 controllers will show up green but sometimes 1 will be greyed out. Sometimes rebooting the HTC vive helps but it has caused SteamVR to be in a state of funk that requires full on system reboot to recover. Within the last 20 minutes, I have switched to Steam VR Beta, enabled 10 min idle sleep timer, disabled power management. I am crossing my fingers!

Synthesis Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 How did that work for you?Thanks, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaedius Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 It didn't. I had the same problem after the next day. What seemed to have done the trick was all the above AND reinstall graphics drivers with a clean driver install. Now it appears to be working as normal. I am back on the nvidia 390.77.

deaedius Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I think the battle is over. After a full reinstall of the nvidia graphics drivers I am no longer having issues with the Vive going to sleep and not waking up. I have performed all the configuration changes listed above and will keep them as they are but so far I have good reports, normally it doesn't make it through the night without problems. What I did notice when doing just a downgrade or upgrade of the graphics drivers the Vive still had problems not waking up requiring a system reboot to resolve. When I did the full driver reinstall and booted the Vive via steam VR, there were no problems at all and has remained that way without a system reboot!

Synthesis Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Excellent! This may have also been resolved by the SteamVR update on Tuesday. Can you confirm if it was working then or if it was still happening post update?Thanks, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaedius Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 No it was broken yesterday, it wasn't until I reinstalled graphics drivers before it started working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthesis Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 What version of GPU drivers are you on now? Is it a different version that before? Apologies for the questions, but it would be useful for us to gather as much detail as possible about how you resolved the situation.Thanks, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaedius Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hey John, Questions are good! I was running nvidia 390.77 drivers when the issue first happened. I downgraded to 390.65 hoping it would resolve and it didn't. It wasn't until I upgraded back to 390.77 with a clean install that resolved the issue. I have been able to launch SteamVR and Vive many times without failure and it made it through the night which it never does since the issue happened. I can confirm I am running SteamVR beta, and Steam Beta. Disabled power management via the SteamVR app. Changed sleep time from 5 seconds to 10 minutes. Disabled and renabled direct mode. Restarted steam numerous times when issue happened with only way to resolve was a full system reboot. Running nvidia 390.77 drivers with clean install (seemingly resolved issue). I will be gone for a long weekend this will be a good test to see if all is good when I return Sunday. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
