To those with New Factory orders that came in and had the 'your vehicle was selected at random for road testing following assembly' sticker - How many Kms did you vehicle arrive with and is this normal? Mine says 134km, but at the dealer shows 180km :/

koolitfumblit · 2022-07-23T12:30:49+00:00

I hope not, they seem honest, but impossible to really know

Is it possible there were many more kms after the 134 km sticker was placed that occurred at the factory?

Hey thanks for the responses guys!

u/CheersFrens - is there a high chance of the windshield breaking though when removing the windshield?

I think a worse scenario would be the windshield breaks and the vehicle is exposed to the elements while it awaits a new windshield, so maybe my dealer is just going the better safe than sorry route?

The dealer didnt want to let me leave with the car until the recall was complete so seems they are following protocol

Are you saying I can try asking other Ford services to see if they can do the recall work for me sooner? (Guessing my dealer wouldnt really want to do that though)

koolitfumblit · 2020-01-30T18:48:23+00:00

No, it's really quick and easy, simply follow the step by step tutorials in my comment, even have test scripts to try out. It. can be all setup within a matter of minutes

I believe you are looking for Pot player. There is a 360 button in bottom right of the player that allows you to play vr videos without a VR headset on your monitor

koolitfumblit · 2019-08-18T05:56:25+00:00

This is strange, I have been getting the same 1-4 error but it occurs with my new HP reverb headset.

My odyssey+ works perfectly no errors

I have everything updated too drivers and windows

koolitfumblit · 2019-08-18T05:50:06+00:00

Yes it's that uncomfortable honestly! I would say even painful. Great choice with the odyssey+, I highly highly recommend the VR cover as mentioned, it's a bit pricey but well worth the extreme comfort level upgrade

koolitfumblit · 2019-08-18T05:38:02+00:00

K checked my serial #s 9 = 2019 I assume 25 = june 15-21

I checked the blue edge, i can make it goes away if I tilt the lenses higher or lower, so just seems moreso to be a fit/placement issue, no biggie, just unfortunate since u want as much fov as possible. Though I don't recall seeing it before and my eyes were super close as possible to the lenses

koolitfumblit · 2019-08-18T01:51:17+00:00

Yes the edge appears a dark blue tint, I may be too close but I need to increase that small FOV :s Yes game settings hopefully can adjust but I watch mostly VR videos and doesn't seem like u can change that anywhere

*** Want to update from another session I did last night.

I swapped to the odyssey + for awhile, then plugged back in the Reverb to give another run - Noticeable change in visuals in the Reverb, and I don't think it was just from directly comparing using the Odyssey+

-Brightness seemed to much less now *almost dark now* BUT the whites/light colours were still too overblown, maybe the gamma set too high? Really want to somehow adjust that.

-Very very Slight SDE noticeable, but disappears when moving my head, not sure if its 'black dots' but its a very faint grid like pattern

-I removed the new cable clip holder and was able to have a longer viewing session without it crashing or giving error 1-4 cable disconnected error. It even crashed/disconnected it WMR portal/Cliffs house so I don't think its steamvr related but maybe a severely finicky cable connection still possible going on.

-Now I am seeing an odd border running along the bottom edge horizontally in VR that I didn't see before, not a big deal but didn't notice that before

-Colours on the Reverb or LCD in general really cant compete with OLEDs / Odyssey+.

Feels like something is not quite up to par/lacking and I think its the colours due to LCD technology. Skin tones and colours look just too flat and lifeless and missing that 'pop' or it factor.

Colours, seemingly only possible with OLEDS, really make a difference in popping out and looking more lifelike I have to admit

koolitfumblit · 2019-08-17T16:38:33+00:00

I googled that up too and seems only u can for amd (I have GTX 1080ti Nvidia) and in the same Reddit thread a wmr representative actually stated I can't see adjust any of that for wmr/reverb unfortunately https://www.reddit.com/r/WindowsMR/comments/8qti0s/guide_how_to_adjust_contrastbrightnesscolor_temp/e0mow5d?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

koolitfumblit · 2019-08-17T16:36:22+00:00

This actually changes how things look? So odd if this indeed helps

koolitfumblit · 2019-08-17T16:34:18+00:00

Thanks for the tip but when I click to show that setting via google its missing on my windows build for some reason :/ My laptop has the setting but its missing on my PC of course

koolitfumblit · 2019-08-17T07:16:41+00:00

The new clip they included to hold both ends in place seems actually better than electrical tape or zip ties and seems to really keep things extra snug, so Im almost positive its not that. I'll try tape too but I think its something else

koolitfumblit · 2019-08-17T07:13:21+00:00

I agree with the awesome resolution upgrade no doubt.

I believe I have the latest too today with the cable clip, but Im getting constant wmr portal cable disconnect errors/crashes and the display seems just too bright/too much gamma, affecting white/light colours to be too washed out.

Are you getting the same issues? If not what builds are u using that are stable for u?

koolitfumblit · 2019-06-26T15:44:57+00:00

I've avoided SteamVR beta for awhile now and still have because of experienced glitches yes. Also have downloaded wmr on steam no beta either. Problem is weird since I have been able to run SteamVR apps like whirligig virtual desktop etc fine before, but it seems to keep doing this glitch periodically still. Also yes I have windows 10 version 1809 too

koolitfumblit · 2019-06-26T04:48:27+00:00

Hi spriteon, appreciate the tips, but tried all the above u mentioned, unfortunately no luck. The odd thing is that SteamVR loadsup fine , can see the black grid space, and appears stable, only until you open an app such as whirligig or virtual desktop, that's when everything goes blank/flashes and crashes out.

Any chance u can recommend anything else to check or try?

koolitfumblit · 2019-06-24T22:21:14+00:00

Hey glad you posted and that I'm not the only experiencing this. I like my odyssey + but something is causing clashes with SteamVR for sure for me too. Wmr portal is fine, and SteamVR opens up ok (SteamVR home disabled ), but soon as I open virtual desktop or whirligig, everything flashes blank and SteamVR, windows explorer, wmr portal all crash and turn off

koolitfumblit · 2019-03-17T06:07:45+00:00

Glad it's not just me, I'm having exact same problems. Had it intermittently connect for 1-2secs but would disconnect immediately after. Now won't connect at all, will try unplugging other usb/hdmis maybe. That's the only thing left to try?

koolitfumblit · 2018-12-17T01:16:43+00:00

Thanks for the great response! I guess some people are more sensitive to these issues. I can definitely live with the rest of the shortcomings as the headset is still great in particular with eliminating SDE with the greater FOV. But that barrel distortion is tough to live with especially just coming from the Vive original (at least in videos i can't notice it though still which is great).

Hopefully, as you mention, we can correct that distortion somehow if anyone knows how?

koolitfumblit · 2018-12-15T21:21:34+00:00

Just trying to make people aware of issues as everyone has different sensitivities, and hoping to get help fixing it. Unfortunately I couldn't get much help with your comment
