HP's Reverb VR Pro Headset

[Hellcat]

I agree with you. I've never felt it was relating to USB power, as I had mine directly connected to a powered USB port, and that made no difference.

You could be right about the heat thing as well, as I experienced a lot of heat at times, and I didn't relate it to the flickering at the time, but maybe it was.

I'm also a little surprised about the whole cable clip thing working for some, as it's a click connector which didn't seem to have any play in it that I could see.

Glad it's working though for some people.

 

I saw the powered usb hub seemed to work for some but not most that's why I thought I'd try this As a last resort if that doesn't do it it's definitely not a port issue IMHO....

It has its own thread.. I will bump it back up from page two for those that missed it. It is absolutely essential to avoid disconnects.

Thanks....i am waiting for my reverb to arrive

So i am happy to find tips and tricks before it arrives.

So far....HP Germany makes clear now, that the 499€ 1000-200nn is indeed the Reverb Consumer Edition. My ETA was changed from tomorrow to next Wednesday. Makes an absurd price difference of mor than 240€ for Pro in Germany.

Ok guys - Shopblt gave me my Fedex tracking number and the headset is *supposed* to be here tomorrow.... I hope it shows...

 

Based on the earlier posts by the august body on this thread, 188% seems to work well in Steam for SS with PD @ 1.0

I'm going to leave my other settings alone and give that a whirl.

 

I guess I'll also try the zip tie method on the mondo cable to keep the connection tight.

 

 

Any further suggestions?

 

Do you have any of the badge holder/clip? I use that to clip the cable to my shirt and the HMD is free of any pulling.

 

My wiretie job, and the clip I was talking about

I see people going on about 90fps and it totally astonishes me! My system is very similar to yours, and I get a steady 45fps with Motion Smoothing and maybe around 50-55 without it. That was on the Reverb and my Vive Pro.

What are your settings? SteamVR SS, PD, MSAA, shadows etc.?

 

 

SteamVR at 188%. No other changes. In fact, I didn't even change the Nvdia control panel. Normally I set the slider to "performance" I haven't enabled WMR motion smoothing. I'm not even sure if SteamVR has it? But the only thing I changed in SteamVR was 188%.

 

DCS PD at 1.0. Also, I do run at 5.1Ghz and we're at the same CPU/GPU level. I think the memory speed is in my Spoiler/sig.

 

and my in-game setting

I haven't enabled WMR motion smoothing. I'm not even sure if SteamVR has it? ..

 

WMR doesn't use SteamVR motion smoothing or reprojection, as that's in the driver side (same with Oculus if it uses SteamVR).

 

WMR has two forms of reprojection, a simple rotational one that is always on and the opt-in 'motion temporal reprojection' (which is the closest WMR has to the Oculus ASW like method).

 

The WMR motion reprojection needs about 55-60 fps to work properly (it is less efficient that either SteamVR's motion smoothing or Oculus's ASW) but when on works well.

 

So it seems the best ‘tuning’ algorithm for WMR and using reprojection in DCS would be:

 

1. Go to the default.vsettings file and comment out (using //) the motion line, i.e. turn it OFF (if not already off).

 

2. Test DCS with your settings. Adjust them so you get to 55 to 60 fps with the resolution / super sampling you want, say 188% on Reverb, 212% on Odyssey etc.

 

3. Go back to default.vrsettings and uncomment the line (remove the //) so it says “motionReprojectionMode” : “auto”, in there.

 

That way you’ll get smooth tree sideways and the fancy reprojection working properly.

I turned the re-projection indicator on as well so you tell at an instant what it is doing. It is very tiny in the upper left corner and never interferes with play.

My B&H Reverb order shipped today. Should arrive Tuesday. Finally after 4 orders, one finally shipped. The other three websites said they were in stock but they all were really out of them.

If you have a link for this German HP site, please let me know it, or has HP communicated this to you so personally. So for me, unfortunately, nothing is clear.

Never got my notification from B&H that the HP Reverb was in stock...per my request. Guess I head that way now to see if any are in stock.

 

Just checked...pre-order only.

UK HP Rep said that they won't be stocking the consumer unit - only the pro - and they have a large number of corporate orders depleting their expected stock delivery. No idea how accurate this info is, but I thought I'd share what I was told.

[sze5003]

Yea this makes sense. Corporate orders from companies that make orders internally, deplete the stock before they have any left to sell to the public. It's mainly marketed as a professional device not main consumers like us.

Yes website never changed but I did preorder it on the 14th of this months and got notification from B&H and Fedex of my shipment today. B&H web account shows it shipped and on its way and they did charge my CC today too.

Please provide feedback. I currently own a Oculus Rift. Been watching Reverb and Valve Index.

Sorry just saw this. The Huey instrument panel is just like my homebuilt airplane was. A piece of painted aluminum sheeting with holes cutout for the gauges, switches, etc.. The face of the gauges stick out a bit and they typically have a bolt in each corner. The gauges look like the real McCoys. Nothing fancy but functional. The appearance and clarity with the Reverb is excellent.

 

I forgot to mention when I spoke to the HP Tech person a few days ago (just to find out what was up from the horses mouth) he said to be sure the cable was secure on both ends (of course we aren't jumping around too much on a sim). I zip tied the cable near my computer so the connectors there can't be tugged on as I did to the headset strap on both sides of the connector. I have seen no problems but I don't want to start. I did a few marathon sessions over three hours and didn't notice any change for that length of a time. One was today. Three hours bobbling around in a Huey is a long time. It's not smooth and steady like the F-18. :D

 

I am a Reverb Happy Camper!

 

 

Huey is one of my favorites. But I can't wait for the cockpit texture update so it's on par with F/A-18. It's so flat, isn't it? A10C has the same texture issue and that's getting an update. I don't remember if Huey is in line for a texture update.

not sure what your HW specs are but, it's pretty damn smooth and clear.

Very nice review through the lens

The Reverb also looks better then the monitor!!!

Guess what? It’s fantastic with the right settings. :D

I think so too ...but better than a 1080P monitor...thats a stretch I would say, close but I don't know....
