I'd also like to add in turning off power management for USB ports in device manager properties. This is a vexing thing Windows adds in for Energy Star compliance that will have the same effect as BIOS randomly turning them off.
After effects is really pushing my chicken nugget brain to its limits haha, I’m glad you enjoyed it and I hope it’ll be useful in the future. It’s nice seeing you in the comments
I really do need to try a vr arcade. One issue with the pro 2 I didn’t mention was the stereo overlap. It makes a lot of people feel cross eyed for a while, did you happen to feel that?
I have a rift s and a common problem with the headset is crashing because of the cable just the problem is the issue starts popping up after a week of constant use and Everytime it crashes everything needs to restart including steam VR which meant any game like boneworks or half life alyx you would lose your progress at random
I’ve been building and troubleshooting PCs for a while now, first build was done over a decade ago. I actually had the pro 2 running for 2 years flawlessly, but something changed in the background that made it freak out. Definitely a growing experience but dang I wanted to rip my hair out for a while haha
One more solution - USB2. I have a Vive Pro 1 and it's cameras used to die roughly 10 minutes into a VR session. My solution turned out to be switching from a "recommended" USB3 port to an USB2 port
Yo since this is kinda a tech thing I wanted to know if you were also having the problem where opening the steamvr menu causes those grey screens, I love my VP2 but this is a pain in the ass.
I actually found a fix, go to your windows sound device settings, change the audio frequency on Vive multimedia audio to 16 bit DVD quality, it still hasn't fixed the menu breaking my headset, but lag won't destroy your ears.
My vive pro 2 headset is currently being dumb in a weird way. It works and everything but it gets like 40fps when it used to get 120 easily. I also can no longer open any vive software like the console to change settings.
I don’t know what is wrong with my headset the last time I used it no problems at all. now The headset flickers like crazy I reset it then it’s grey screen flinging me around the room. It’s perfectly fine in the Vr room but as soon as I start a game the grey screen, flinging around the room starts. I have the valve index bundle. I wanted to get back into ITTR!!!
So much thanks for this! Apparently, I'm more cave man than I thought. Couldn't find the answers I needed, blood started to boil, wanted to smash stuff,,, then your video. Thanks for purging the pressure cooker before it popped. lol
10/10 would get Tech support advice from pink haired mophira again. In all seriousness, thanks for making this video. As a fellow Vive User I understand your pain.
I really really loved vive since the beginning but dang is it hard to see how things have changed with them. Curious, how do you feel about their focus and xr elite?
Ironically just after watching this video my hmd (used og vive, new to me) has developed an issue where it thinks it's tilted a few degrees to one side, and nothing I try to seems to fix it. I've power cycled it, I've tried updating the config, I've tried recalibrating the IMU, I've tried pointing it up and covering it with a blanket (I think this actually worked temporarily)
I bought a Vive Cosmos as my first VR rig. It worked...fair. I got terrible eyestrain wearing glasses, so ended up buying prescription lenses for the VR headset. Still awful. I could wear them for 45 minutes to an hour and it became unusable for me. My head sweated so bad wearing it that my head would be soaked. I quite using it after about 6 months, and it sat on the shelf for 3 years. I just packed it up and sent it to my son to see if he can use it better than I did.
Uh I hope it isn't too late, I have a vive pro 2 and my GPU is amd based, i have heard a fix for the audio on nvidia and thats great and all but i am on AMD and what happens to me is my audio is just checking all the time and it iwll not clear when i change the settings or remove the DisplayPort from the link box, sometimes my display fucks around and also my base stations don't wanna work together. Any advice?
personally I havnt had any software / hardware issues with my VP2, aside from VRchat & HL:A having shit frames & eventually crashing after a while when first got VR set up. I went into Steam VR and turned down my game scaling & that seemed to fix the issue for both those 2 games mentioned above. Do you reckon if I follow your little dooheckie here, I'll be able to revert my resolution settings & enjoy my VP2 for the worth that I paid?
I’ll install Alyx again tonight because I also had a lot of issues with it, specifically crashing on level changes. One thing I discovered last night is setting priority for Vives services. Anything in task manager that says vive, set it’s priority to high. If you’re in the discord I can walk you through that!
Damn… so it’s the headset even worth getting? I was looking into getting one but after doing some research I keep seeing they are having issues. Any chance the issue has now been fixed?
i got this too. so i just returned my vp2. lmaoo i just got to the end, your solution for your $800 headset was to override it with a tracker? you're very forgiving.
@@BonelessVR ah, I guess you're right, I thought it was bigger because the rx 6400 which was one of the cards I have used has a noticable difference while playing
this is because that specific card is made for pcie gen 4 with a physical 16x slot, but electrically is only wired for 8x. switching to gen 3 on it significantly reduces the bandwidth available. @@BonelessVR
@@TheVbabeBroXX it works, even with a Varjo Aero, still on gen 3 and having reliable fun. Even on a 4090 benchmarks don't show a substantial difference.
Jeez no wonder the Quest 2 sold so much. Watched the whole video and never saw ANYTHING that applied to the Quest. NONE of these problems apply to the Quest. Why would you use a PC when only a handfull of games have PC quality graphics and only 1 or two of those has actually compelling gameplay?? I mean, kjeez, who else here has quit playing Asgards Wrath or Stormland cos it was incredibly boring?? Plus, I only paid 300 bucks and split it into payments of 50 bucks thru amazon.
Quest being such a closed ecosystem means that meta can make the entire experience much more stable. To be fair, my pc setup has worked flawlessly for years only for a crappy update to break things in the background.
i didnt even need to fix a headset but i still watched this interested! nice content and editing!
Much appreciated! Thank you for watching!
Its the entertainment :3
Omg the transitions and story telling of a vive is next level in this video.
Doing my best to level up
I'd also like to add in turning off power management for USB ports in device manager properties. This is a vexing thing Windows adds in for Energy Star compliance that will have the same effect as BIOS randomly turning them off.
Facts. Power management is the weirdest thing and after watching others test, it doesn’t even save that much power long term, just a headache
Good job boneless great video once again. Very informative and the amount of effort put into this video is crazy props to you
After effects is really pushing my chicken nugget brain to its limits haha, I’m glad you enjoyed it and I hope it’ll be useful in the future. It’s nice seeing you in the comments
Another banger, absolutely loving the editing
Love that you gave a memorial for little Tater tot, loved that little dude so much on tiktok :)
dont even have a headset and still watched this video to the end
I actually recently found a Beat Saber arcade machine in my local arcade that uses a Vive Pro 2. It was cool to try it
I really do need to try a vr arcade. One issue with the pro 2 I didn’t mention was the stereo overlap. It makes a lot of people feel cross eyed for a while, did you happen to feel that?
@BonelessVR yeah, sorta. That's explains it well. I was only able to play one song, so I really wasn't in it for long.
@@BonelessVR I experienced this with quest pro aswell. Felt weird.
that c-state thing was really killing my beat saber performance, barely missed any notes since
great video

Ah poor boneless. Vr is truly one of the best ways to improve your computer literacy, having to fix all its issues.

While I don't know why this ended up in my recommend as I use a quest 2 and not a vive, this video is great and should get more views.

This helped me so much!!! even tho I don't have a vive pro 2 but I have a Pimax Vision 8k X still worked , Thank you so much!!
although my vice is still paperweight this video goes hard as fuck
edit; I got it working im goated
What about diagnosing & fixing EMF, RFI, ground loop, faulty photodiodes, etc.? I've tried all that was in the video & more & still have issues.
Very pogger
Pogger dogger
The PCI-e to gen 3 fixed my issue YOU'RE AAAA GEENIUUUUSSSSSSSS AAAAAAAAAA
Yo since this is kinda a tech thing I wanted to know if you were also having the problem where opening the steamvr menu causes those grey screens, I love my VP2 but this is a pain in the ass.
Here for that as well. Then a fun crazy loud static that comes out of no where

in vrsettings my font looks all wierd

I thought I was the only one with a big ass TV next to my rig 💀😂
Vive be like ‘It might be a problem with the big ass tv that you’ve had there for years and has never caused issues before’
So much thanks for this! Apparently, I'm more cave man than I thought. Couldn't find the answers I needed, blood started to boil, wanted to smash stuff,,, then your video. Thanks for purging the pressure cooker before it popped. lol
Big dumb question:how do I fix error 222? Even though I know the usb is plugged in correctly?
I really am pissed about my pro 2, it’s currently creaking on the left side and the front won’t even adjust anymore. Can anyone help. Please.
I just wanna see what i could deal with when i get mine i tell you i got mine dirty cheap only for 400
10/10 would get Tech support advice from pink haired mophira again.

Yeah. The sweating isn’t something that you can fix. Eye strain though.. was your IPD adjusted right?
Uh I hope it isn't too late, I have a vive pro 2 and my GPU is amd based, i have heard a fix for the audio on nvidia and thats great and all but i am on AMD and what happens to me is my audio is just checking all the time and it iwll not clear when i change the settings or remove the DisplayPort from the link box, sometimes my display fucks around and also my base stations don't wanna work together.

is this also good for Valve index?
I love your videos

God bless trying to get VR headsets to work on PCVR. Its always a pain in the ass lol
i got this too. so i just returned my vp2. lmaoo i just got to the end, your solution for your $800 headset was to override it with a tracker? you're very forgiving.
this still didnt work for meeee ;-; helllp
Notice that forcing pcie Gen 3 significantly hurts performance on newer computers and cards. Many cards work way worse on pcie 3
Every benchmark I can find shows about a 5% decrease if any. It can always be enabled again
@@BonelessVR ah, I guess you're right, I thought it was bigger because the rx 6400 which was one of the cards I have used has a noticable difference while playing
@@Tommy-qe6fh That's really important to know though and I appreciate you going into more detail!
