neilachr Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Symptom: Cameras on the Vive Pro fail to show up in the SteamVR settings and produce a red X and a USB error message. They were working fine but a Steam update may have caused the problem. After spending hours on the forums and uninstalling/reinstalling Vive and Steam drivers, checking device manager for USBs, and thinking I would never get the cameras back again I found a solution on a Steam Linux GitHub post - https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/issues/169 . It appears the issue is with the steamvr.vrsettings JSON file not having a camera entry like so: "camera" : {"enableCamera" : true,"enableCameraForCollisionBounds" : false,"enableCameraForRoomView" : false,"enableCameraInDashboard" : false} The JSON file can be found in something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam|config\steamvr.vrsettings . Add the JSON above and it will magically come back. Hope this helps someone from spending the hours I did chasing all the crazy suggestions on the forum.
