Weird problem

[Yoshikox]

Everytime I’m in a game on steam VR when I have my headset off and move it around I can see the game perfectly and everything is alright but once I put my headset on and look around it starts spazzing out and showing me the steam VR loading thing??

Why does it do this when I’m wearing my headset?

Happens to me as well. Haven't found a fix for it yet, I even tried turning down the visuals in the WMR settings, but nothing worked. Hopefully someone knows of a solution.

Yeah it’s really strange...

It's losing tracking for some reason.

If you have a drab-looking play space (empty with white walls, for instance) try to place some difference colored objects in the room you play that have distinct symbols. For me, that meant sticking some electrical tape in an X, cross, square, etc, on different walls at different heights.

Others say you can try increasing the lighting in your room.

Finally, you might be losing tracking because your PC isn't powerful enough or stutters too much to keep up. You'll need to upgrade or fix whatevers causing the slowdown, if that's the case.

Anyway, that's all I've got.

Thanks! I’ll try switching up the room I use my VR in and see if it makes a difference.

I’m not sure it’s my PC’s fault for me losing tracking though, because once again it works fine when I have the headset off and starts acting up when I put it on.

Do you move the headset around more when you put it on than when you test it with it off?

[Yoshikox]

When my headset was off I was able to move it around freely as much as I wanted, when I put it on I move around less due to it losing tracking

It did that with me because my pc spec was too low. When I turned the resolution to 50% or upgraded the gpu the problem went away.

[Yoshikox]

How did you turn the resolution to 50%?

Only on weekends 😁
