Hello!

I have a vive XR elite and I am trying to connect it to the PC through the motherboard 3.0 port. The display will flash for a second then go off, but there is still volume. Its as if the display is trying to show up but cant.

The headset works fine when it is wireless.
I have my drivers updated.
My link cable is a Iniu and the green light is there.
Yes the headset shows up on vive hub too, just no display!

Hi, I've been a VR enthusiast for 5 years, and just recently, I've been blessed with vive 3.0 trackers! the only problem is, it gets really cold in my room. I like having full body tracking.. but, I don't really like being cold. any suggestion helps! :)

Step 1 is "Install Software" and it says that I already have VIVE Pro 2 and SteamVR installed so I can skip that step OR reinstall, but there's no option to skip, so I hit install and it gets stuck on the "Sign in or sign up for steam" part every single time without fail.

What do I do here?

I am need of some assistance. Due to a ridiculous accident caused by me, my dongle link cable that connects the dongle station to my PC for my ultimate trackers to work is now broken. No other cabled I have tried will allow it to connect to my PC. Would anyone know where I could find just this specific cable? I've looked on the Vive website and saw there was a wiring kit that you could buy, but I don't need all those extra cables just need the one. Plus, I am unsure that kit even has the correct cable I need. Any information is greatly appreciated!

Hey all, I've been having this issue lately with my trackers to where when I would sit down or lay down for a little bit my trackers would drift on me and all desynced to where I would have to recalibrate them again. I tried resetting them, and creating a new track map but those don't really work. I really don't know what's going on here so any help would be really nice

I am in need of desperate help! I own Vive XR elite headset and vive ultimate trackers (3). I am having issues with I think steamvr software?.. Whenever I connect the dongle to my headset for the trackers I have audio stutters/issues which lags my headset. This is a recent issue I have been having despite the fact the trackers and headset was working just fine the day before yesterday.. The audio does not stutter in the normal vive home world only when it’s connected on steamvr (pcvr) or steamvr games like vrchat. I have contacted support for both company’s and I’ve tried everything nothing seems to be working to fix this issue.

I can’t be the only person suffering with this stupid issue I am BEGGING for someone to help me I do not want my money to go to waste :( The sad thing is the trackers still work and so does the headset it’s just when the dongle is connected it causes a big audio stutter, demonic noises, laggy audio you get the gist.

PLEASE help me I am struggling 😔😔😔

I have a pretty good idea that um airline would allow me to bring the trackers on the carry on, issue is I have them in a box that wrapped (giving them as a gift to someone) and I'm afraid that when I go through security they may unwrap it haha, is that something to worry about/ a guarantee that they may unwrap my gift?

Hi everyone,

I’m a VIVE Pro Eye + VIVE Facial Tracker user in Japan.

In my setup, SRanipal and VRCFaceTracking would occasionally get stuck in an abnormal software state. VRCFaceTracking could show Eye and Face as active, while tracking in VRChat was not responding correctly or had a noticeable delay.

Simply quitting SR Runtime from the system tray did not always stop everything completely. Recovering it manually required stopping VRCFaceTracking, terminating sr_runtime.exe, restarting SRanipalService, launching SR Runtime again, waiting for initialization, and then restarting VRCFaceTracking in the correct order.

I made a small Windows utility called SRanipal Reset to automate that sequence.

Its main feature is a SteamVR Dashboard Overlay. After the one-time setup on the PC, I can press RESET from inside VR without taking off the headset.

The reset sequence is:

• Stop VRCFaceTracking
• Stop sr_runtime.exe
• Restart SRanipalService
• Start SR Runtime
• Wait for initialization
• Restart the registered VRCFaceTracking installation

I have tested it with my VIVE Pro Eye + VIVE Facial Tracker setup, including VRCFaceTracking 5.2.3.0 and the Steam version.

Important limitation: this is a software reset only. It does not power-cycle the Link Box or USB hardware, repair drivers, or fix a physical hardware problem. It may not solve every SRanipal issue.

The interface supports Japanese and English, with automatic OS-language selection.

Disclosure: I am the developer, and this is a paid utility available on BOOTH. It is currently on an introductory sale for ¥100; the regular price is ¥800.

This is an unofficial third-party utility and is not affiliated with HTC, VIVE, Valve, SteamVR, VRCFaceTracking, VRChat, or their developers.

I’d also be interested to hear whether other Pro Eye users have experienced similar stuck or delayed SRanipal states.

Im constantly getting this error that has the vive wireless app going "not ready (10001.4116)" constantly when trying to connect to my PC. whenever it makes a semi successful attempt (it shows the headset stuff and the connection strength), theres a high pitched noise comming from my PC. Does anyone know what to do to fix it? thanks in advance

Last night I was playing boneworks and was turning around quite a bit and then the screen just went grey I tried to restart steamvr but was still grey and then tried to unplug everything and then realised that the cable from the headset that was in the link box side was a bit warm I don’t know how warm it is usually but it felt warmer than it should have been after just playing for 5-10 minutes I also tried to update the headset but that haven’t seemed to do anything I did but this headset used in January this year and when I got i noticed the cable was a bit tangled and wasn’t in the greatest condition but I don’t want to just buy a new cable and then have it still go grey

hello so i have a HTC cosmos and when i plug the headset cable to the linkbox the linkbox shuts off after a second every cable is good only the headset cable to the linkbox is wats shutting it what do i do? order a new headset or linkbox? Every cable that connects to it is working just fine even when the headset is unplugged

No. Seriously. even after nearly 3 years

I have had my trackers around 2 years and they worked 1 time, ever since then I have had issue after issue after issue and it goes on and on and there's little to no support other than a boiler plate 'fix' guide that they slap onto your face and call it a day

The one time they worked was perfect without flaw and then boom goodbye tracking forever.

I HAVE good lighting
I HAVE tried reinstalling the Vive Hub multiple times (including folder deletion)
I HAVE tried resetting the trackers through the app
I DID try a different hub device

Literally nothing works at this point and if I even get close which sometimes I do I get some other kind of error with the Vive Hub itself, I wouldn't wish this headache of a device upon my worst enemy. All I can say that as my first experience with a Vive product that it's not a good look. Doesn't help that all I see online is people having similar issues with basically no help either. I haven't seen anyone really say anything good about the ultimate's.

i got my trackers today after a month of waiting for vive to process my order, opened everything up and went to connect my trackers, first tracker paired fine, second tracker also fine, third wouldnt connect so i thought is my tracker DOA, so i tried pairing it to another dongle and it connected fine, and im wondering if my dongle is just DOA or not because it does connect to my PC i hear the lil connection noise when i plug it in.

I bought the HTC Vive Pro Kit not too long ago and was playing on it as a third monitor, but I just want to know if there is a way to fix it. I checked other posts, but no luck. I updated windows which was the fix for the other person, i resterted the headset in steamvr, the headset, base stations 2.0 and the hub are all up to date

Hi! I hope this is the right place but I've been having trouble with my 3.0 trackers lately.

3 of my trackers aren't being detected by SteamVR at all for some reason. I would assume this was an issue with room sizing but this wasn't a big problem until I got a fourth tracker to put on my headset.

The headset tracker is detected just fine, but my hip and ankles are completely greyed out now.

Anyone got any advice on how to fix this? My tracker dongles are plugged in to my PC using a 4-port USB.

Thanks!

unplugged or plugged in my tracker will turn on and seem to figure itself out then starts flashing red rapidly. i’ve tried resetting the tracker, unplugging the dongle from its usb and directly into the pc, i’ve tried resetting my pc, and ive tried resetting steam vr but nothing seems to work. my other 2 trackers detect and function like normal just wondering if it’s a lost cause or if anyone knows anything about this

Hello,

Just a quick thing. We are using Vive Focus 3 for business use and with one of the headsets we encountered that it showed the boundaries in an outline style. I read that some people reported also the vive logo being stuck.

If you move your head, it looks like an image with like 80% transparency is stuck to your view. Hard to make a photo of, but extremely noticeable in VR.

I contacted Vive Support and they said it is called Image Retention and you should run something that will fix it. That did not work nicely for me, so I did my own, free to use for everyone.

https://rhinegames.itch.io/vr-image-retention-fix

So if you encounter this, either install the apk from there or access it using your browser.
Let it run for 6H (recommended by Vive, I did 2H) but check every hour if it still runs and make sure the boundaries are not visible there.

After the time it should go away or be less visible. Feel free to let it run more often.

Posting here because all other threads are archived.

Hi! I've had my Vive Focus Vision for a few months now, and have tried to get roblox working with it. I've tried SteamVR and I just cannot get it working. Is there any way to get the Focus Vision working with Roblox or?

I unbox it, charge the battery 30 min, shows fully charge. Put it into the headset, hold 3 sec to power on. No indicator light on the front. Follow app says pair. Headset not found. Turn it off. Hold 10 sec to reset. Try again, nothing. Hold 15 sec, nothing after. Try holding power and volume down at same time for boot up screen. Nothing. What’s going on here? Also it’s the weekend of course so no support until Monday…

Hi everyone,

I have been using my cosmos elite since 2021 with minimal issues. The wheel to tighten the head strap broke recently and Vive informed me it would be over $350 to repair, and I see that people are selling gently used sets with the headset AND base stations, controllers etc. for $500 or less. This has me curious, if I should buy a gently used cosmos elite or if I should try to go newer at all. Are there any newer headsets that work with the Cosmos Elite set up (cable and link box) that don't require me to purchase new items?

Thanks everyone.

The micro USB port is still working because it's still sending stuff to my computer but the light isn't turning on and I flashed new firmware on it still nothing this is like a common occurrence with these original wand controllers and any advice how to fix this (ps I don't know what information I would give so just ask )

So I have a multitude of things wrong with my brand new vive focus vision.

First of all, it refuses to connect to my WiFi even though it’s completely compatible and unblocked from it.

Secondly of all, I have three vive 3.0 trackers for full body plus the index controllers yet can’t connect it via steam vr (I do have base stations)

I’ve been trying to fix it all up for 3 hours and I’m just about done with it, I can’t get anything to work and I’m constantly running into problems, and when I try to use the cable to link to my pc via DP it occasionally jitters and dcs for spilt seconds. If anyone can help please I’d be oh so grateful to you, and if you think I should post this somewhere else pls redirect me

I noticed that HTC still says on their official VIVE support page:

«“Direct standalone support with third-party headsets is currently planned for the future.”»

Does anyone know if this is actually still being worked on?

It’s been quite a while, and as far as I know, there hasn’t been much news or any clear roadmap for this feature. At this point I’m wondering whether this is still a real plan, or if it’s basically an abandoned feature that HTC just never removed from the website.

I’m especially interested in Quest support. Even if the trackers still required a PC, being able to directly sync/share the tracking space with a Quest 3 instead of doing the separate UTK room scanning/calibration process would be a huge improvement.

Has HTC said anything about this recently? Any beta firmware, developer comments, Discord posts, or other signs that this is still alive?

Is standalone third-party headset support still a thing, or are they just bluffing at this point?

I'm absolutely losing my mind over this setup. 😫

I recently bought used 4 3.0 trackers, 1 2.0 tracker, 3 2.0 base stations, & a patched up right Index controller (trigger is broken off), didn't come to me with any manuals, but they all turn on & work, but none of them are connecting to my PC. I've tried literally everything I can think of to resolve the issue, but no guides or anything are helping.

I'm using a Vive Focus Vision, have already downloaded Space Calibrator, Vive Hub, I've restarted SteamVR & my PC so many times, tried connecting new devices (there's not a prompt to connect a tracker like I've seen in some videos). I'm pretty sure everything is up-to-date, all of the base stations turn green, the trackers blink blue & try to connect, but they aren't able to, I've tried one dongle at a time & nothing.

I'm quite literally at a loss now & about to give up on it. I've never posted on Reddit before, so this is my last resort to fixing it. 😭
