Tracker is not tracking

[nerminsh]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with the vive tracker that it's connected yet not tracking. I have steam vr version 1.1.4 . I tried to restart vive and do room setup and restart the computer so many times. I'm using a vive pro. Is there anything that I'm missing?

I'm assuming no solution :(.

 

I am also having the same problem. Its connecting but no tracking. Version 1.2.8 Beta.

What roles do you have them assigned as? What does the "Manage Vive Trackers" page detail for these trackers? 

 

This post may be relevant here.

Set to Held in hand Any Hand.

It's tracking now. I was using old trackers with lighthouse v2. When I used v1 It's tracking now.

That would be the issue. Good catch!

Are you in a similar situation. Let's focus on two key questions:

• Are you using Tracker 18 or the Original tracker and with what kind of lighthouses
• Does the tracker properly track when you connect it to the PC via microUSB? If not, what is the behavior?

Switched back to v1 lighthouse and now picking up.

 

Should be backward compatable really.

I'm super confused by your report. Tracker 18 (blue logo) is compatible with SteamVR 1.0 and 2.0. The only incompatible between systems is that the Original Tracker (Grey logo) is not compatible with SteamVR 2.0 tracking. You're saying "Should be backward compatable really" - Tracker 18 is certainly backwards compatible.

Its an original. Grey logo. My point being that v2 should be able to track v1 pucks but it doesn't . Switched back to v1 lighthouse and worked immediately.
