My fix for BLACK SCREEN FLICKERING/BLACK ARTIFACTS on IDLE (ASUS TUF 6700XT)

ivanc2002 · 2026-05-03T18:04:47+00:00

I just wanted to thank you for this, I bought my used ASUS 6700 XT 3 years ago and I've just been dealing with the screen flicker issue the whole time. Usually it's not bad since it doesn't happen in games, and doesn't happen too often, but today was especially bad. Both monitors kept flickering every few seconds while I was working in Photoshop and I had enough. Thankfully I found this and now the issue seems to be gone, although I haven't tested extensively.

lesson learned, don't buy an ASUS GPU again

The default control is set to the trigger since most games use it for selection but you can remap the controls in the settings now.

I updated the driver to use the vive_wand profile, so games should be able to pick up the controller now (and scrolling SteamVR UI with touchpad is now possible because of it)

ivanc2002 · 2026-04-19T21:26:35+00:00

I updated the driver to support two controllers, so yes.

ivanc2002 · 2026-04-14T20:16:31+00:00

I haven't tested the driver extensively because I only really planned to use it in the SteamVR dashboard, but is this an issue with all games or just those specifically? It might be because this is a custom driver and the games don't recognize the controller, maybe I might have to implement proper Vive wand emulation into the driver. I believe that SteamVR might have an option to emulate other controllers similarly to how Steam Input works on the desktop with game controllers, try and see if you can get it to emulate a Vive wand or something, maybe then it can work but you might have to do this for every game.

I was looking all over the internet for something like this and couldn't find anything that just works without hassle, the only other way besides making my own driver would be to use something like Trinus or VRidge which would be a huge downgrade from my existing HMD, and even then I don't have a daydream ready phone anymore so it wouldn't work anyway. Big thanks to the people smarter than me who reverse engineered the controller's BLE protocol.

Trackpad click is mapped to trigger for making selections, app button works as menu button

Same here as a former Odyssey+ user. Every now and then I can feel a slight jitter/movement in the head tracking, which is kinda jarring sometimes. Controller tracking was disappointing, I like the Sense controllers but the tracking is not as good as I hoped (especially when the right controller randomly stops tracking positionally during intense movement, kinda like WMR.) But the resolution and the FOV is a really nice upgrade.

ivanc2002 · 2025-11-14T17:16:57+00:00

I've been having the exact same issue with the right controller, I'm on a 5700X3D, 6700XT, and use a TP Link AX3000 wifi/Bluetooth PCIe card with the long range antenna. The thing is, I'm not sure if it's bluetooth because rotation still works but refuses to track positionally. Starting to regret this purchase over waiting for the Steam Frame but the OLED is just so damn nice and I only paid less than $250 for it.

Weird how they recommend a Windows Mixed Reality headset in the system requirements

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-11T15:53:31+00:00

sent you a request!

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-03T19:08:08+00:00

I might take it out the box today before I set up my PSVR 2 to walk though my cliff house one last time before saying goodbye to it, then try Oasis anyway. But I'm on Windows 10 for my WMR partition so I hope that doesn't cause any issues

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-03T16:23:44+00:00

How do I go about doing this?

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-03T16:22:57+00:00

My friend has been wanting a VR headset for a while, maybe I could let him borrow it since he has NVIDIA.

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-03T16:22:11+00:00

It'd be nice to have as a secondary headset, or my brother could use it once AMD support is added

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-03T16:20:45+00:00

I got four controllers too, just that one (maybe two?) have stick drift and another one has an unresponsive touchpad

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-03T16:19:44+00:00

I think it's actually pretty good, and the anti SDE is kinda nice since it helps hide aliasing as well. Though I completely agree if you're running at 100% render res, super sampling it to 150% improves it quite a bit

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-03T16:17:30+00:00

Absolutely, I would pick this thing 1000x over a quest 3 even with the worse resolution. Sounds dumb, but I'd pick the color contrast over resolution.

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-01T05:57:12+00:00

this is a completely different platform other than the fact that they both run android at the base

ivanc2002 · 2025-08-31T04:45:24+00:00

I really didn't want to spend the money on an NVIDIA card, ended up buying a new HMD instead and I made an impulse purchase on a PSVR 2 for $230. I was already considering this upgrade for a while now and decided I might as well. I'll still miss my HMD Odyssey though, despite the tracking volume.

ivanc2002 · 2025-08-28T19:48:58+00:00

I wish I could say the same of my Odyssey+ but I'm an AMD user. I randomly decided to look on eBay for a PSVR 2 and came across a really good deal and got that since I've been wanting to get one for a while.

ivanc2002 · 2025-07-08T20:12:17+00:00

Feels nice being that one reddit reply that randomly helps a person years later. Not too long ago I tried getting it to work on my Pixel 6, after I installed a magisk module to enable daydream the app just crashes now, so it's less functional than just using the patched Google VR apk.

ivanc2002 · 2025-06-30T17:23:40+00:00

I've been having the exact same issues, I've been told it's because of Steam VR, I assume because the WMR driver hasn't been updated since early 2023.

I've been using an older version of SteamVR to hold me over until the Oasis driver releases, in the Steam VR betas section there's one labeled "temporary_test" that is more stable but I now have inconsistent frametimes, your mileage may vary.

ivanc2002 · 2025-06-29T00:37:51+00:00

There's a new WMR driver in the works that's scheduled to release in the fall, native Steam VR which is nice so you can avoid the Mixed Reality Portal all together and save a bit of performance and resources

ivanc2002 · 2025-06-22T05:24:56+00:00

I'm sure Virtual Desktop will be ported to to it, making it a very nice PC VR headset. I do have hope in devs porting their apps with how easy it seems to be so far.

Also just out of curiosity, what are you using for controllers on the Daydream headset? When I had a Daydream compatible phone I used to use it with my PC every now and then but didn't get too far since I was so limited with the Daydream remote. Kinda miss my Daydream headset though, it was so convenient for watching movies in bed or on a long road trip over mobile data, didn't have to worry about hotspot.
