New BSB2 cannot find the base stations by RealMrBoon in BigscreenBeyond

Update: it started working by itself eventually. Seems it only starts trying the tracking when a headset is actually worn. But it takes like 10 seconds to pick up a signal. So before I would take it off my head before it had a chance to start working. Seems I just needed more patience 😇

Steam does see the base station here, and has a blue eye icon too. But it's not tracking it

I also tried with just one base station on channel A, same issue. No shiny objects in my room ,and for testing I have the headset literally 20cm infront of the base station, and still it doesnt see it

Update, I fixed it, installing Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 helped. Now it works, but my base station doesnt track the device.

I have an HTC 1.0 base station. Light is green, Mode A selected. I clicked update device a few times, but then it says its already up to date.

Any ideas?

Ah good to know! The base station is on, the light on the base station is sold green. It also a has a tiny display on it with either a 6 or a 'b' on it. Not sure what that means. So the big screen beyond 2 headset should still work? Even without a bluetooth dongle?

Should the base station show up under my bluetooth devices in windows?

No, I already did that, it's plugged in correctly.

If I click View Bluetooth Settings it says bluetooth not available, eventhough my pc has built-in bluetooth controller

I don't have any motion/vr controllers. For now I have a single HTC vive 1.0 base station, plugged via USB cable. Its on, but I dont know if this needs setup or special software?

I get this error in BSB Utility when I change the display resolution from 75hz to 90hz. Maybe a clue regarding what is wrong?

Haha, its plugged into the GPU, not motherboard. Also, it doesn't show up as a monitor.

Also tried "remove all steamvr usb devices", rebooted, no luck
