Still getting constant SteamVR crashing on exit.

1. Somehow i can not use this BETA. The screen just lags bad... No idea why. 

2. The normal variation works but my original Vive Cosmos Wont detect features in my room. Any idea of how to fix this ? Headset wont track at all..

Hello Patrik, with my cosmos I have no problems. But for htc it would be interesting to see MR in a test. That we could use as users.

Mind if you share the title of the game you play? or just general quitting procedure without content?

Some logs will be great.

It's after exiting any VR games if I would close SteamVR (without Steam VR Home running or other) ... my headset is the VP2.

And what is the 'correct' procedure ... First closing SteamVR or the HTC Console ? Or first poweroff the headset ?

[imacken]

I get the same. Doesn't matter whether I close SteamVR or Vive Console first, always the same result, i.e. SteamVR has crashed message.

I have a VP2, and it doesn't matter what game I've been playing, the result is the same.

@imacken @TheLK can you all submit one log via vive console? add a remark for C.T. rd_log request under issue summary?

Let me check if there's anything we can find to fix it. Thanks 

 

[imacken]

Will do, however, I forgot that since the update to SteamVR to beta 1.21.8 a day or two ago, I have not had the problem.  Forgot about that, sorry!

I'll keep monitoring as I did have the issue for some months.

As an aside, why is the Steam version of Vive Console showing 2.1.20.1 compared to the standalone which is 2.0.20.1?
