PhoenixKatera Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 After removing a HDMI to Display port adapter and plugging the cable in and selecting option to restart my Vive, it appears to be working now. I still get this under settings though, not sure what a compositor even is but maybe it seems related to the issue I was having a moment ago? Opting into SteamVR beta seems to have fixed the frame issues.. Not sure what the red Application text means! Lastly I get this pop up stating I should Enable Direct Mode, but when I click the button, it still seems stuck in Extended mode and I get the same pop up. I'd love to troubleshoot more but it's time to go to work, any thoughts would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixKatera Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 , Apparently opting into SteamVR beta didnt fix the missed frames, before I got to leave it started doing it again. :C So yeah only those two issues now.. it's an improvement at least!

CoryCheng Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hi , Please follow these instructions and let us know how it goes :D 1. Check if you have BOTH of your HDMI connected to your 1080 Display card(HMD and monitor). 2. Check if your display card driver is up to date 3. Go to SteamVR settings > Developer > Remove all SteamVR USB Devices 4. Unplug all VIVE wires > Reboot> Temporary disable your Anti-virus software > Plug all VIVE wires back on(the system will automaticallly re-install all the drivers) Cory.C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixKatera Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Ok, after doing some research I found certain -too old- drivers don't support Direct Mode, I cannot update to current drivers or else the system will just return to crashing on SteamVR launch like the start of this thread describes, however, I did look for a newer driver which seems to work just fine in Direct Mode which has resolved the remaining problems I had. For any of those with a similar issue as me, 375.95-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql works just fine on my rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apalace Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I have similar problem. My Rigs: - AMD - Ryzen 7 1700 3.0GHz 8-Core Processor - Asus - PRIME B350-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard - G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory - Western Digital - Black 512GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive - Asus - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB Dual Video Card After playing a VR game, sometimes after few minutes and sometimes an hour, my HMD and whole PC freezes, and I am forced to restart my PC. This issue is happening often lately. I contacted Vive Support through Chat, they connected to my PC and did several things, didn't help. My USB cable was connected to USB 2.0 , then did "Remove all USB devices" from SteamVR, then connected the cable through USB 3.0.. The HMD is connected to my GPU directly through HDMI, I updated everything to last drivers, the MoBo Bios and all devices in my PC. Any idea what else I can do to solve the problem?

Boldrick Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I was having the very same issue with my 1080 and figuered out the exact circumstances of the bug and a workaround. :) As soon as you ever open the Steam App itself then launching Steam VR or any VR game (be it from desktop or Steam interface) will cause the Nvidia driver to stop working, reset and kill your helmet. The workaround which worked for me is to put shortcuts to your VR games to desktop, quit steam, and then run any of the games (the steam will start too, but as long as you don't go into its UI it will work).

Synthesis Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Interesting. Did this start happening after a driver update?Thank you, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boldrick Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I'm not quite sure. I've had Vive only for a few weeks and it worked fine for the first couple of days, then started to misbehave. I'd blame drivers too, but I tried downgrading them and ever removed them completely with no effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthesis Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Specifically, I mean display drivers.Thanks, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
