Looking Glass Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Could just be me but I reckon that Aero IS NOT working correctly with DCS and will reqiure a manufacturers patch to get rid of the distortions AND fishbowel effect thing that going on.

peachmonkey Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 mine was shipped today and the tracking says that it's in SHENZHEN, CN. I'm in US. Let's play the game who gets their hmd first Place your bets NOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supmua Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 FedEx just updated my delivery status to tomorrow.

dburne Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 So I contacted both Fed Ex and Varjo this morning, was sent form 5106 and told I need to fill out and return, which I have done. Will see if this gets my headset out of Fed Ex hell.

Supmua Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Expensive imported items from China tend to get flagged I guess. Of course the price would’ve been much higher if these were made in Euro.

Dangermouseb51 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Updates after few days play. Point 1: Keep getting mouse freezing when I have my Aero plugged in - something seems to causing/or is an issues, Windows error that seems to tie in is "Kernel PNP Event ID 225 - ApplicationVarjoHMDSerevr.exe Stopped the Removal or Ejection of the Device ID **************. When not running lighthouse of Varjo hardware I'm not getting any USB/Mouse resets. Still Troubleshooting. Point 2: Often getting SteamVR Headset has Changed - Select Restart SteamVR at which point kills the game and have to reload, anyone else seeing this is this a SteamVR issue of Varjo Base/Steam VR Still Troubleshooting I'm gonna try this see if any better https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/2/1640917625015598552/ Point 3: In game using FPSVR doing some free flight testing -F16 in Caucasus. Looking at in game stats I'm getting the following ... GPU: 3090 CPU: i9 12900K FPS 45 FPS 68 GPU Framerate 20.8 avg Framerate 5.8 GPU Usage 97% CPU Usage 29% So reading the stats I'm looking to get the GPU framerate to below 11.1 to get FPS back upto 90. Although looking at the above looks like my supposedly bad ass GPU is on its Arse Cheers Jim Dangermouse [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbohamster Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Not sure if it's been mentioned before... But I saw alot of people who had problems with distortion, said re-installing Steam VR & the Varjo software made it much better Maybe something to try?

Supmua Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 In general when upgrading to a new SteamVR headset, there are 2 files that should be wiped otherwise old settings that are specific to the previous headset may have undesirable effect on the new headset.
