lamyipming Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Launching SteamVR directly will not automatically detect my wireless headset, unless I start Vive Console on my own. Any fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any fix? Hey @lamyipming! If you're referring to the wireless adapter, then the launch of the Vive wireless sw is required. From my understanding, this isn't an issue to fix. It is simply a requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamyipming Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Thanks. Starting the Vive Wireless first solved my problem. Please delete the post if you wish. I get used to starting Vive Console which automatically starts SteamVR with wireless detected without issue. However a game (City Car Driving) requires SteamVR to be turned off when starting the game - for some strange reason the game must launch SteamVR by itself. But in that way SteamVR won't detect the wireless headset since Vive Console isn't launched. That's why I asked. For anyone else encountered the same issue, you should start Vive Wireless to establish the connection first - don't rely on Vive Console to do that for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 @lamyipming - Having an order of operations helps. I pin all of the icons on my start menu from left to right so I can click across the apps easily. My order is Wireless, Console, than SteamVR. Wireless is a very complex product in the backend - ensuring that you start wireless and have a good connection before starting any additional app is the best way to ensure everything boots correctly the first time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovirte Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Hi if my vive console doesn't launch when the wireless app is open, what can be the reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
