binraix Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Ok. I now got the beta version and it now wanted me to update firmware on almost everything. But it actually crashed when I wanted to open it for the first time. We'll see hwow it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 This article covers how to access the beta branch https://www.vive.com/us/support/vive/category_howto/optin-to-steamvr-beta.html If you have a laptop that's compatible, that's by and far the best way to test if the HMD itself is functional and prevent an unnecessary RMA which will may not address the root issue.

binraix Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 25 minutes now updating the firmware. Seems way too long and I cannot try anything until it stops. Can i just stop it by force? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binraix Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Ok. I tried with a lap top and everything is exactly the same. Tried things there as well, like beta version, drivers and other things and the result is the same. Seems the headset just stopped working for no reason, after about 20h of use. That makes me sad. I was hoping, it is some software error, which makes sense with this kind of tech, but the price HTC has and the quality (20h of gameplay) makes me worried, that it is not worth it. Now I just hope that I got the bad apple...like they say. Anyway, seems I need to call the warranty and give it back. I would still love to know, what went wrong.
