Synthesis Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Everything seems fine in the report (you do need to update your base stations though)I don't see any reason why the cable wouldn't work and it is reporting your HMD is there so that's good.All the settings seem fine.Thank you, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichibokun Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 God dammit, looks like I'm never going to get the full VR Experience :( And I tried to Update the basestations once, afterwards they we're lighting up red and didn't work anymore, so I downgraded them again. Is there anything else I could try related to my Vive ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthesis Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Wait a minute - "And I tried to Update the basestations once, afterwards they we're lighting up red and didn't work anymore" Your base station(s) need to be repaired. You can't just roll back the firmware to solve the problem. The issue still exists except that you put the old version of firmware back on that doesn't catch the rotational velocity drop and tracking errors.Thank you, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichibokun Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 It need to be repaired ? wot yea they just stopped working after the firmware update, so I googled it online and found this video This guy had the same issue, and the video helped out they're working again just as they should be Are they really broken ?

Synthesis Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Yes. I'm pretty sure I've posted about this previously, but in short, what's going on is that the laser rotor is not spinning fast enough for accurate tracking and at some point, Valve updated the firmware to detect when this was happening and create an error so users would know what was wrong.Unfortunately, someone figured out how to roll the firmware back and make the error disappear, even though that would not actual solve the problem. So what happens is users load old firmware and keep playing as the rotor slows down further and further, tracking gets worse and worse until one day it just is unplayable. The problem is, if that takes longer than the warranty period, they won't be able to get their device repaired anymore, whereas if they had the current firmware, got the warning earlier and got the device fixed they'd be fine.Thank you, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elocin_Anagram Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I bought my Vive Pro in November, and it's already bad. don't have any chairs or anything that would run it over or cause it to break in my play space. Can I please have it replaced under warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
