affan101 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I'm using the HTC Vive pro only for VR racing games on PC. I'm controlling the game menu with my mouse and keyboard on the monitor screen and I only need the VR while in game. Do I still need the base station and controller? I've already installed Vive pro and steam VR but the headset doesn't seem to be working. The only thing I see in the headset is a blue screen. The speakers seem to be working properly but I can't get beyond the blue screen. Can anyone please help me? Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dario Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Yes you need the base station and controller to run setup. To make sure your PC is VR ready and capable you can run the SteamVR Performance Test on Steam. @affan101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 You'll need at least 1 base station to see any sort of output on the Vive. You cannot run a Vive/Vive Pro without at least 1 base-station and there is no way to use it as a 3DoF headset by tracking rotation only. Newer versions of SteamVR omit "quick calibrate" and drives you toward standard calibration which requires controllers - it would appear that nowadays you also require controllers to complete setup but you may be able to get around this by using the "reset seated position" option. @affan101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
