Phr00t Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) There is an option that is disabled by default, which in my short testing, changing may have made tracking better. Curious on what other people think. Open this file with Vive Console and VivePort CLOSED and SteamVR NOT RUNNING: <viveport install directory>\VIVE\Updater\App\ViveVRRuntime\ViveVR\ViveVRServer\config\default.vrsettings Find the "externalPredictPose" section. Change "diablePredictControllerPose" from true to false, so it looks like this: "externalPredictPose" : { "enable" : true, "disableHMDVel" : true, "disableControllerVel" : false, "diablePredictHMDPose" : false, "diablePredictControllerPose" : false }, I find it odd HMD pose prediction is enabled for the headset, but not for the controllers by default. I'm not sure if it was just a placebo effect, but setting the section to the above seemed to make for a better tracking experience. Try it out! NOTE: diable is how it is, it is an HTC typo, not mine!

I rolled back to the stable version after that last beta update made my controllers unusable. I played some fallout 4 and the scopes were all over the place and aiming was impossible. I made the change you recommended and now I can actually aim properly. It's still a little unsteady when really close to the HDM but much better so either it works or there is some other variable that changes from day to day. So for me until proven otherwise this is a keeper. Thanks they should pay you for troubleshooting 😉 Fink @stvnxu @C.T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickytwo Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 @Phr00t thanks, will try this later, it's really come to an all time low if this works better than the official beta updates. WIll let you know..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovadose Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I'm on the latest beta update, changing this setting did nothing for me if anything it made things slightly worse. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice sleuthing mate.. I wonder what would happen if you made both Predict's true? I don't currently have my Cosmos connected or I would try this out myself. Thanks and cheers.
