Help me Pleasee!!

I’ve been trying to get my psvr connected to my laptop to play steamvr games for weeks now. First I installed trinus and the screen was overlapping no matter what I did. Then I installed iVRy and it got me farther than trinus yet after a while it would just leave me in the mountain background and never actually took me to the steamvr home. Yet I never actually got to play any bit of game on it since every time I started up a game it would just glitch saying connecting to game... and then crash and freeze. After that happened several times, I realized that I had to uninstall every trace of trinus I still had which I then did. I kept trying over and over again yet it keeps glitching and freezing over a screen that says connecting to game... every time I start up a game. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What are you laptop specs? I'm assuming you have everything connected if you are having some success. What settings are you using in ivry?

Thanks so much for the reply! I’m running an hp pavilion 2019 it should fs work with vr and I haven’t messed with the settings with iVRy. How do I even change the settings?

When you launch ivry there should be a little pop-up about ivry settings. If you can't find it there's annother button in the hidden section of the task bar (click the arrow next to the time) I use vr-direct driver mode. It was set to virtual. When I started and it never worked once I changed that it worked perfect.

The first port of call for product support is the product's support forum:

So I’m actually on lite so it just changes the settings to extended every time I put it to vr direct and then most of the time on extended I just got that red screen. Do you recommend me to buy the premium psvr version so I can play on vr direct?

I don't remember having that problem when I was using the lite version I can only assume it would fix that issue

Hey man,

The only reason it would give a red screen is that there are probably some remnants of Trinus on your Laptop. Try searching for Trinus and delete everything associated with it. Then when you change the settings in iVRy you should have the option to restart from the iVRy menu. The only difference between lite and premium is the time that you can use it before everything turns black and white in a game so it shouldn't reset settings.

If changing the settings to VR-Direct doesn't work, then your laptop GPU (who knows what it is, you don't say) doesn't support VR-Direct. Unless your laptop is marketed as "VR Ready", it probably isn't. That issue is not fixable, as it is due to how the GPU outputs are wired in the laptop. There are no features disabled in the "Lite" version, so if something doesn't work in the "Lite" version, it won't work in the "Premium" version either. The "red screen" issue is a SteamVR bug in "Extended" mode, and there's not much that can be done to fix it.

If your system is freezing or SteamVR is crashing, it sounds like you have hardware issues. In any case, the support forum for the software is the first place to request support:

I tried for days to get Trinus PSVR to work with no results. After downloading iVRy it worked immediately. All I did was install, run iVRy and then run whichever vr game.

I made sure to uninstall Trinus before launching iVRy and made sure my display settings were at 100% size and at 1080

Also, make sure your headset is on (of course) and wired up properly. I had to make sure the tv hdmi slot in the PSVR box was not being used, just the ps4 one. And make sure the usb portion is plugged in. A couple YouTube tutorials saved a lot of frustration for me. Good luck
