HP reverb Win10 2004 and Nvidia 451 issue

[Revs]

Anyone having problem with reverb? Updated both win10 2004 and Nvidia 451, I started seeing flickering pixel noise over black background. Thought cable going bad as it comes and goes as I move. Next day or a restart later pictures coming on and off, sometimes with left eye and WMR keeps reseting. Called HP I thought it’s the headset connected cable that always bents down and carry the whole cables’(thick) weight. I got a replacement on the way. Then mess with the reverb some more, after some blind configuring it worked. Turned out it works at 60hz, with all the bad fish eye flicker that comes with that settings, switching back to 90hz goes back to on off left eye screen and pixels grains.. I somehow (couple of times manage to get it to get it to run at 90hz and my basic mission actually runs smoother and 4+ fps better. For some reason a restart breaks it again, worst is I cant figure out how I was able to make the 90hz stick and run without problem.

 

Any idias?

definitly bad cable (comes and goes as you move)

question to be answered: the long replacable cable or the short cable fixed to the HMD? You will see after your replacement arrives

 

 

There is no fish eye with 60hz and Win 10 2004 anymore if it works correctly

but if it is the cable why would it work like normal in 60hz? and go crazy on 90hz

[Motomouse]

because it needs less bandwidth in 60hz and the tainted cable is still good enough for this bandwidth?

 

We wiil see when your replacement arrives. I am very interested in the results.

 

My reverb broke complete after showing the same symptoms than yours.

My replacement Reverb works without problems again with windows 2004 and the 451 driver. No white pixel noise at all.

 

So it is probably not a software issue, but a hardware issue on your side too. Good luck.

I am able run 90hz again, with some cycling (disabling/reenabling) reverb, & hololens from device mngr. it is a hit or miss though. Don’t like running on 60hz, feels like theres a lag with tracking, the world will slightly lag behind when you move your view, and not able to stop the world when you sharply stop you head movement.

 

When it works at 90hz no issues at all, actually feels smoother than before until I restart. Then it’s back to trial and error.

 

Anyways I was told I was gonna get a box to send my headset for repair, but their email sounds like I am getting a replacement. I will update this maybe next week

So I got my replacement, and it works just like before my last one broke. Also being back to 90hz it went back to +4fps and smoother and snappier tracking. So I was right that the thick cable was fine and that the problem was the headset or the short cable on the headset that gets bent down and carries the thick cable. however the replacement has a different problem. There is a vertical curb line on the right side of the left eye(like a whole column of dead pixels). I called HP and they'll be sending another headset to me. Good thing I had to send my orig. headset and get to keep the second one until the 3rd comes. at least I got a working one until then.

At least, a company that take care of their customers.

Allways good to know.
