new to VR - Rift S - can't get it to work

[unknown]

Hi everyone,

i'm totally new to VR and just got my Rift S today. I installed the software, it was updating the FW of the Rift S and after that i tried to run the setup to configure the Rift S and there i run out of luck. I connect the USB cable, wait until the LED in the rift turns from orange to white, plug in the DP cable, both show as connected/green in the software but the next step fails. I tried every USB port on my PC including one on my powered USB HUB but i always get an error telling me "...Sensors can not detect headset..." something like that(i'm running the software with german language settings). If i skip the setup and look into my the oculus software/device i can see the Rift S as active with a geen check but all i see in the Rift S is a rectangle with 3 white flashing dots.

 

A quick google search didn't show me the fix for my problem, so i'm asking you guys. Anybody out there who can help me get this thing running?

Make sure you have Camera enabled in your Windows 10 settings.

I found my problem, the camera was enabled in my win 10 settings but i remembered after first installing win 10 and all the "calling home debate" that i played with a little program called win 10 privacy. In this programm i disabled the camera(never used one myself), undid this and now everything workes fine. :thumbup: :beer:

 

Except the hand controllers, in the oculus "home/menu" (don't know how to call it) they are sticking to my face and i can't use them there(connected in the software), but that i will figure out later at the weekend.

 

Thank you!

Glad that was it!

I'm filing this away for my WMR headset that uses camera tracking. Clever of the NSA to figure out a way to photograph your house from the inside and have you pay for it.

I tried to connect the Rift S at the same Ports like yesterday and i had the same problems. Long story short, i reinstalled Win 10 and now everything works perfectly fine. It seems i screwed something up back in my first Win 10 days with the Win 10 privacy programm.

 

But know i have a "little" problem, i have to stand now to have my virtual head aligned with my RL head. If i sit down in my chair to have access to my HOTAS and pedals i'm looking directly at the stick in game :D Anyone has a quick solution for me? Something like a button click to center the camera like with TrackIR?

Did you go through Guardian setup and at the step to lower your Touch controller and touch the floor, than stand back up and press a button?

Yes, i did that. I did this again and touched my desk to be the "ground", looks good now. Sorry for spamming such stupid questions here. :beer:

 

And by the way, now that it works it's a blast! :joystick::thumbup:

Well that is weird, but guess if it worked it worked.

 

There are never any stupid questions!
