dburne Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I have been running the Beta of Vive Console since getting my Vive Pro 2 back in June. I also run the Beta of Steam VR. One thing that has always annoyed me is they just never play well together for me. I am sure I am not the only one. It is not a game breaking thing just a minor annoyance. For instance after a gaming session when I close the Vive Console software, 90 % of the time Steam VR does not exit cleanly but gives me a Steam has encountered a critical error message, and I have to click OK to cancel out of it. Alternatively, if I try closing Steam VR first before Vive Console, well it just hangs there for a few minutes before it lets go of it and closes. Which is a bigger pain. I would love to see these two applications play along with each other better. Not sure who the fault lies with , but it sure gets old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCG_Fenris_Wolf Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Same here! With Steam's and the standalone Vive Console. Exit Vive Console -> "SteamVR has encountered a critical error" -> Press "Exit SteamVR" to kill it. or Exit SteamVR -> Vive Console crashes, unrecoverable -> reboot OS. Agnostic to Windows 10 / 11 / Hardware used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am always on latest Beta of Steam VR and latest Beta of Vive Console. It has always been this way for me since getting the headset in June.

Sago36 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) I'm the same, its as if the shitty vive software is breaking Steam VR. I always thought waiting long enough there would be a fix for this headset but there isn't a fix in sight and never will be! I'll never buy something on pre order again and I'll never buy HTshit, I mean HTC again... Edited October 29, 2021 by Sago36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Well to be clear on my end it is mainly an annoyance rather than a big problem. I have been very pleased with my Vive Pro 2 and the improvements made in the Motion Compensation with the latest Beta have been quite significant. But it would be nice if both Vive Console and Steam VR could work together to exit cleanly when closing the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildahl Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I've discovered that with the latest beta, if you close the SteamVR app, it will close the Console cleanly without an error. But if you close the Console first, I sometimes still get an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
