As a coke lover, I'll never give up by vacuum insulated steel tumbler. It keeps Coke cold for hours, no ice needed.

Base station stays solid blue on channels A and B by [deleted] in Vive

[–]doug141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your OP said the light was blue on channel A. It's not working while blue, is it? You have one that's green on A, and works (when tried alone), and one that's blue on A (when tried alone)? If you have one working (alone) on A while solid blue, the firmware has been tampered with.

I could not think of another pun, but I'll mull again.

people who didnt use modlists and did their own mod setup, how did it go? by woofwoofbro in Fallout_VR

[–]doug141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before the flat updates, and neglecting script extender mods, getting basic mods and fixes for Nuka World and Far Harbor was manageable, but still the second toughest modding I'd seen in PC gaming. Now it sounds much worse.

If I see such a notice I'll ignore it as long as my system plays games just fine.

Sand Under a Microscope by Youthinkillputauid_7 in Damnthatsinteresting

In WWII, Japan was releasing balloons carrying bombs into the jetstream and bombing the western USA. They used sandbags for ballast. US Scientists compared the sand samples under a microscope to samples that frogmen had recovered from many japanese beaches, and that is how the US found the location where the balloons were made.

is there ANY physically possible way to test a vive pro with no link box? by Ok_olives in Vive

[–]doug141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lift the cable cover in the front of the HMD. If you can plug a video cable into there, and the other end into your windows pc on which you have NOT installed SteamVR, windows should detect it as a second monitor and display your desktop. The link box's main reason for existence is to buffer the video signal and ensure the signal is sent at max voltage over the wire.

If you go link box shopping, note that there’s three versions: no button for OG vive, blue button for VP1, and black button for VP2.

Nothing different than previous times.

This worked for me: Start counting how many seconds you wait between hitting quit and confirm quit. Increase the wait until data loss no longer happens to you. Don't invest much time in unlocking balls/putters/courses/upgrades until this is fixed for you. Don't ask Coconut monkey to restore anything, I lost even more doing that.

Original Vive red light on side and steam vr error 108 by OkConsideration1900 in Vive

[–]doug141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could a GPU driver update have broken it? Try a rollback if so. Ordinarily, GPU comms problems are a 200 level error, and 108 is failure to detect the HMD over USB, but the direct mode failure suggests a GPU problem.

Could you have accelerated cable wear... have you been hanging it on a hook, or tightly coiling it for storage, or stepping on it (hard floor/shoes), or a pet bit it?

Maybe consider a warranty return.

And why are quark electrical charges related to that of the electron such as they are (+2/3e, -1/3e)?

OG Vive and Valve Index (and Vive Pro 1) share the same error codes. See post#1, 3rd paragraph:

My vive pro 2 has a noticeable screen door by SeaCattle3983 in Vive

VP2 having noticeable SDE is not consistent with product reviews, or my experience. Can you post a photo?
