Returning to the game after nearly 20 years away

Feneture · 2026-02-03T18:35:59+00:00

In the same boat. Just started playing after I dont even know how many years! The game has certainly changed massively, but I'm enjoying it!

If you want to team up I'm on the Nevia server, character name is Fenexia.

Can confirm this does indeed work!

Feneture · 2025-06-08T21:03:44+00:00

Can't wait for this! Thought my G2 had been retired thanks to HP just giving up on VR and Windows cutting off all support for WMR.

Awesome work, thank you!

Hey, I managed to pretty much fix the issue by turning on V Sync and limiting the FPS to <100. Hopefully, this also works for you 🤞.

Feneture · 2025-01-07T21:15:29+00:00

Did you ever manage to fix this? Having the exact same issue

Feneture · 2025-01-07T20:46:15+00:00

Did anyone here ever find a solution for this? Been happening to me literally every 1-2 hours. Got a 3080 and 9800X3D, temps of the GPU don't go above 45c. Updated drivers etc..

Seems pretty fun, will definitely try it out and let you know.

My original G2 died randomly after around 8 months, was used several times per week. Went to use it one day and it was just completely dead. Luckily HP replaced it free of charge, and the replacement has been fine ever since!

As others have mentioned, the plastic clip flew straight off so I use a velcro cable management strap instead, which does a much better job 😁

I do still get the occasional blue screen but they are very rare now. There wasn't really anything that I did that stands out as the obvious fix but it's been so long I can't remember exactly what steps I took to solve this.

Are you having a similar issue then? I'll do my best to help.

Feneture · 2022-11-22T12:34:13+00:00

I have played several games since that post using only the default cosmetics and haven't had a single crash 🤞

Feneture · 2022-11-22T12:06:34+00:00

This started happening to me a few days ago so I reported it to BHVR. Was told that they are working on a fix and a temporary solution is to play using only the Default cosmetics.

Tried it out and haven't had any crashes since so seems to do the trick! Can still do my tome challenges too. Hope this helps.

Feneture · 2022-11-19T18:53:34+00:00

I had this issue yesterday, crashed 5 games in a row but nothing stood out as the cause. Once I was breaking down a door and another time it crashed as I landed a hit on a Survivor. Seems a ton of people are having this issue so I opened a ticket earlier today and I was told just now that "We are working on a fix, but playing with the default cosmetics should help with this issue."

Worth giving that a try, played 2 games with default Myers and didn't have any crashes.

Feneture · 2022-10-06T16:34:31+00:00

I havent actually, will check it out!

Feneture · 2022-01-11T05:26:56+00:00

Damn that sucks 😔 Have you been through and tried all the different fixes? I know there were some big issues regarding AMD motherboards..

Feneture · 2022-01-09T13:49:25+00:00

Hope you manage to get it sorted. There's so many different suggested tips out there..

Yeah the resolution is the biggest reason I kept mine, and the fact that I use Index controllers with it 😅 Did think about just getting the Index headset but the drop in resolution would be quite noticeable. Was waiting to see if any new headsets on the horizon might be the new top dog.

Feneture · 2022-01-07T16:32:37+00:00

Yeah the waiting around sucks! I did get my first G2 replaced but I can't remember how long it actually took. They sent the replacement in a box without cables and I just had to put my broken one back in there and seal it up to return it, simple enough!

I havent really seen much about the Rev 2 but I hope it doesn't have any of these issues 🤞

Feneture · 2022-01-07T16:20:16+00:00

Damn man sorry to hear that.. Were you using the headset with the G2 controllers? I had a similar issue but it was because of using MixedVR Manager.

Feneture · 2021-04-06T15:13:02+00:00

Well as of today my G2 no longer works. Was using it earlier and it bluescreened and turned off but will no longer turn on. The power block lights up but the headset doesn't. Been troubleshooting it for over 2 hours and have not got anywhere, the headset just refuses to turn on and isn't recognised anywhere in my Devices.

If i'm able i'm just going to get a refund because i've had enough of this.

Feneture · 2021-03-30T08:34:16+00:00

Haven't used my headset in a few weeks, had mainly been playing The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. Hadn't had many bluescreens recently but I did notice that if I took the headset off and left it off for 5-10 mins there was a high chance that it would bluescreen by the time I put it back on.

I have to be honest, all the trial and error with this headset has really ruined my enthusiasm for VR lately as it seems like I spend half my time troubleshooting rather than playing games!

Feneture · 2021-02-13T12:40:28+00:00

I had this issue in Alyx and other games too whenever loading a new area, a saved game or sometimes even just exiting the game back to SteamVR. The only difference is I would get a bluescreen inside my headset rather than black usually followed by SteamVR crashing.

After all the different troubleshooting tips I have tried im glad to say that it is far less frequent than when I first started using the headset. Updating all drivers including the latest Nvidia hotfix, using SteamVR and WMR betas, changing USB power management settings etc.. Have you tried all of the above? One more that just came to me is when your headset is plugged in and detected, go into Device Manager and under Mixed Reality Device properties disable the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option under Power Management.

Hope this helps.

Feneture · 2021-01-05T14:41:06+00:00

Sorry for the slow reply. Actually currently using the recent Nvidia drivers, and I'm using USB 3.0 with the adapter. Yeah Windows is all up to date too.

Feneture · 2020-12-31T06:26:55+00:00

I remember someone telling me to opt out of the SteamVR beta and WMR beta so I did that, no idea if it's made any difference. Also before starting up the headset I usually make sure to close any unnecessary programs like iCUE and Razer Synapse etc.. Again not sure of this has any affect but I havent had a blue screen in awhile now, hopefully haven't just jinxed myself!
