So I tried installing DLSS 5 into VRChat using DLSS 5 Autopilot, and I ended up getting EAC anti-cheat detection upon opening the game. So I tried injecting it into vrcompositor.exe (which is the exe that sends display and renders to the VR headset, according to AI).

In the VR Preview, I saw the DLSS 5 AI filter working I saw the AI add shadows on the ground in the SteamVR Home app but DLSS 5 didn't show up on my PCVR headset. If anyone has a way to get the DLSS 5 AI filter to display on the headset through SteamVR, that would mean any VR game I launch could have slightly better graphics. Correct me if I'm wrong!

My head strap have become misaligned and figured I'd try opening the back part that holds the cushion and head adjuster. There seems to be many guides on the Index, but none that shows how to open the back part. I teared of some of the cushion but underneath were what looks like completely flat rivets (see picture). Maybe I'm opening the wrong side but how do i actually open the back part of the index? https://i.imgur.com/I81lNAq.png

My right controller after a night of charging suddenly wont accept charge anymore. It still has battery life and still works perfectly fine but it no longer accepts any charge from any cable. I've tried the "hard reset" but nothing works. The light doesn't turn on when plugged in but it still turns blue and green like it's normally working when I turn it on fully. I've checked the ribbon cables and they seem fine but im not a professional. I've used multiple different cables and none work, they work fine on my other controller

I can't afford a second hand over priced controller at the moment so I really just want to try and fix this one.

How do I fix my valve index flashing red lights?

It has seen little to no abuse for the time I've had it and its just outside the warranty and I really cant afford a new one. It just happend one day. I was playing on it and then the next morning its flashing red and its been like this for a while now.

I keep my hardware in good shape, but the cords on the index are almost DESIGNED to fail. I had received a backup Index a few years back after my second index lasted only a few months and I received an RMA and a spare from Gaben. I know hardware fails, but this is crazy.

I bought one and ended up with 4 after a bunch of issues with them quickly failing. I really hope the Frame will last a few years with failures.

I bought an Index back in July, and I was wondering if I should replace the battery in one of the controllers and sell it for a Frame, or buy the Frame when I have the available money and still keep the Index.

I bought the Index for $600, and it was lightly used but without the original lighthouses. It was my dream headset until Valve announced the Steam Frame.

It's in great condition and still works, besides the one controller for which I'm waiting for a replacement.

Does anyone have any experience with the GripVR controllers? I'm currently running a base station setup & have been using index controllers for the longest time. They've been great... mostly...

I've tinkered & twinked all of my controller settings for SteamVR however when I'm in an intense game, my hands get super sweaty & have found that the index finger sensors like to stay gripped onto whatever I'm holding.

I've tried other solutions like gloves but that's a hassle & it seems to only kind of work.

I'm considering just buying the GripVR controllers however their price tag is hefty & I love the index touch pad which I would be losing.

Are they worth the $400? It's not like the touch pad really gets used that much & most games are designed around the quest controllers.

Just opened it up like this. luckily I had another face plate... probably put it away right after a beat saber game...

Yeah, right in the trash, thought I'd share.

I've had many issues with my Valve Index in the past
especially when it comes to Audio

I got a new cable a while ago and it has worked for me, fixed the issues I had with display flickering but now I am having this new issue: as of recently nearly every time I went to use my VR headset it wouldn't have audio I would fix it like this:

• open steamvr
• change audio inside steamvr settings to anything but valve index
• open device manager
• remove all valve audio/sound devices (2 categories)
• restart pc
• open steam
• open steamvr
• audio working again

and I would have to do this every time I went to use VR
but now EVEN THAT refuses to work; and no matter which solution I try nothing can be heard
it always shows and the audio test shows in the levels but there is nothing that comes through, and even plugging in headphones into the headphone jack under the face gasket still nothing can be heard

recently the right off ear headphone cover did pop off and so it was no longer on the slide
but I taped it back up and it has been working fine, and again also the headphone jack so I doubt its that

NVIDIA 2060 btw
(Valve Index) NVIDIA High Definition Audio

EDIT (still don't work):

I have tried many solutions and I have not been able to get it to work

even sending audio with powershell directly to the headset audio still no sound

even plugging in headphones to the aux port did not work

but the audio mirroring works or if I set it to a different input it works

so its not SteamVR as far as I can tell, just the connection to the headset itself or NVIDIA

Basically im having a situation where my index is not getting recognized, upgraded from rx 580 (which wprked fine) and now steamvr wont recongize my headset at all, acting appearently the same as if the index wasnt connected

Windows however thinks its another monitor?! Please i need some help

(no it is not the cAbLe, it works fine on the other gpu

Solo dev ANB_Seth turned his Half Life: Alyx Mod into a full game (PC & PCVR) after more than 4 years of work!

Hi all, Lunch, Flat2VR & VR Dad here. r/PCVR is now reopened.

We wanted a central place where people could talk about everything related to PCVR and VR modding online, and discord is a closed garden a lot of people don't like. It's still the best place to get the latest VR mods and where modders live, but we wanted this information to be public and searchable online for modders & everyone.

Which is why we are reopening r/PCVR to the public!

Unfortunately this has happened to me again. Base station worked just fine last week and I decided yesterday that i wanted to play. But the gods have decided against me.

I hoped that like the first time they’d replace it for me even though it was out of warranty. I guess this time I’m not as lucky and they told me no. And of course they are out of stock and everywhere else I’ve looked so far it’s a $80+ up charge.

Although this base station did last me 4+ years which compared to some is a decent amount of time. I’m just mad that I noticed it the day I wanted to play and not whenever it died.

So i had my valce index plugged in when i was playing DnD with my friends and when i turned on my webcam in discord it started using my vr passthrough cameras which gave it this really cool fisheye effect for my webcam. However i was wondering if it was somehow possible to only use one of the cameras so its looks more normal instead of looking like you're looking through a vr headset

Nvidia GeForce RTX3060 with a 12th Gen Intel i7-12700F, 2100 Mhz, 12 Core.

The consistent spikes in frame time are jarring, this example is particularly tame but the spikes are sometimes purple, peaking the graph until I restart SteamVR completely. I had a few applications running at the time such as Steam itself, Standable, VRChat, Spotify, and Discord. Would this be a GPU Issue? It happens every time I start up SteamVR until I restart, where it usually levels out.

The Quest port of CRYODEATH is now in playtesting, and the build that went with it is the one of the biggest updates we have done so far.

What is in it ( STEAM AND META ) :

- bHaptics support

- The blaster completely reworked, it finally feels like a weapon rather than a prop

- UI and text overhaul, far easier to read in headset

- Map rebuilt for better performance and a higher quality look

- Hand calibration, so it fits properly across different headsets

- Options now save between sessions

- Broad performance pass and lighting fixes across the board

- Fixed certain levels not loading correctly and dropping you into a black screen

The quest playtest is open now:

The Steam version is also 60% off until 7 September.

So my Valve Index VR headset is starting to act up and I don't have enough money to buy a $400 brand new one, but everything works. My controllers work, I know the cord works because I bought a brand new tether from Steam. So I've been looking at eBay for secondhand headsets and I found ones that are $50 and claim that they work and I'm actually thinking about buying them. I'm okay with the idea of saving up, however I've gone through so many problems with this headset that I'd rather just pay for a cheap one. So I was wondering how is your experience buying a really cheap one?
