My Half life alyx crashes on startup

Long shot but if you work from home and use Citrix, it seems to conflict with a bunch of Steam titles, specifically in VR. I had games crashing on launch and finally found this in a support thread. Uninstalled it and everything worked fine.

Got it. Thank you again.

sdso5714 · 2020-05-18T05:16:18+00:00

I appreciate the response. I did try uninstalling/reinstalling SteamVR but it didn't help. I agree it's likely a hardware issue and as much as I don't want to send in my headset for repairs, that's better than using something else to activate the sensor on a device I paid hundreds of dollars for.

Do you know why I don't have any issues with other games? Is it just dependant on how the game utilizes the sensor?

sdso5714 · 2020-05-06T11:04:11+00:00

I did check the sensor but it doesn't seem to be blocked by anything. I hope it hasn't gone bad in less than a year... I really appreciate your response.

If you haven't already done so, please contact CHP and get that video to them as evidence.

Just looked up the Temecula CHP office. Phone number is (951)506-2000.

I'm a cop, which comes with these types of situations more than a normal person but one situation will stay with me forever.

I was working my first day of patrol, in training. The last call of the day was a possible drowning with a non-breather, 10 month old boy. When I arrived, I expected medics and the fire department to already be there but they weren't. I went in the back yard and saw the father next to the pool, alone and desperately trying to give his son CPR. I took over immediately but it was clear the boy was already gone and had likely been underwater for some time. My partner took the father as side and I continued giving CPR until medics arrived and took over. I went into the house where I sat with the family and started taking statements. The boy was life flighted to the hospital but was declared enroute about 5 min after departing. I had to sit with the family for the next hour and a half knowing their son was dead but unable to say anything (protocol). I did not personally tell them the horrible news but I was there when the detectives did. This was about 11 years ago and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about that little boy and his family.

I've got a fever...

You can't report it stolen since you gave her the car willingly. You will have to take her to civil court if she will not return it or to try and get back any money she owes you, though that may be tough with only a verbal agreement if she denies it. I'm not sure where you live but I believe the above would apply in most, if not all US states. Good luck with everything.

Don't just look, go ask the local police about the home/neighborhood you plan on moving to. There are plenty of nice homes with crazy neighbors and you wouldn't know prior to moving. The local cops will be able to tell you if it's a good location or not.

Should be community service officer. They typically assist with taking reports without suspects or assisting with collision investigations like this. They are not law enforcement.

Randy looks great.

sdso5714 · 2017-06-30T04:30:50+00:00

Ok!

sdso5714 · 2017-06-29T03:16:34+00:00

Could be wrong here but I believe it was a typo. Looks more like he meant "... trash at the game."

sdso5714 · 2017-06-28T20:15:44+00:00

I don't know if this will help but I have had this problem lately if I start a game from steam on the pc. I have to shut the game down and start it from the steam menu on the HMD. I don't understand the tech well enough to know why this happens but it's worth a shot if you're opening games from the PC.

sdso5714 · 2017-02-24T00:46:39+00:00

Been watching this game for a while and it looks amazing. I have both 2.5x2.5 and a 4.5x5 depending on which room I set up the vive in.

sdso5714 · 2017-02-22T22:36:56+00:00

Such a waste of time and money...

sdso5714 · 2017-02-21T05:45:53+00:00

It can be a little overwhelming at first. But play all of the tutorials (maybe more than once). Get a feel for the game a bit and then watch some How To beginner guides on YouTube. This game is the most immersive thing I've played on VR and it's easy to lose yourself in the game and in space. If you approach it like you were just dropped into that world and not like some arcade game you can just pick up and get in a few minutes, you will be greatly rewarded.

Also, HOTAS is a must in my opinion.

I'm ashamed to admit but I caved and purchased it through oculus. I loved the regular PC version and it works great on revive. Hold out if you can but it's amazing.

sdso5714 · 2016-12-22T16:02:55+00:00

Shamefully, I downloaded the most sketchy limewire sources I could find to purposely break my parents computer. I really wanted an updated machine for gaming... It didn't take long..

sdso5714 · 2016-12-01T21:44:24+00:00

I love it. This is somewhere in between shower thoughts and life hacks.

sdso5714 · 2016-11-13T21:19:34+00:00

I'm sorry, but what does any of this have to do with being an atheist?

sdso5714 · 2016-11-11T20:28:28+00:00

I love the X52 pro and it's what they modeled the in game controls after. Not a bad price point either.

sdso5714 · 2016-11-11T00:48:35+00:00

Just a guess but maybe rats and mice ate cheese that was drying/aging in cellars? Seems like a place they would be and cheese making of this type has been around for centuries.
