Ah sorry I realise now you've mentioned the cosmos elite, I'm afraid I was thinking of the regular cosmos. I've got no experience with the elite unfortunately 😞 Best of luck though

I had this issue after reinstalling windows 10 and the installer grabbed some crappy nvidia drivers for me that wouldn't let me overwrite them with the latest ones I downloaded. I ended up having to get display driver uninstaller, uninstall the driver and stay offline to stop it downloading again, then update to the proper latest nvidia driver. After the next reboot out of safe mode I was able to install the console. Are you able to try that?

Did your controllers ever work before or is this a new system? I know there has been the point made that it can struggle if your light source is white fluro bulb because the controllers use bright white light for tracking. Are you able to try in a yellow tinted light?

I hadn't used mine in a while and went back to it recently. I must admit I'm having a lot of fun and it does seem to have improved a lot but I think it's only because it's my only exposure to VR and I have learned to compensate for the poor performance of the cosmos. It still lets me down quite often but at least the controllers recover tracking a lot quicker now.. Seeing this explains so much and makes me so damn sad. How can the performance be so poor when so many other inside out can do so much better. What an expensive dud, I only hope they keep supporting it long enough that I can get enough hours to justify the cost. Certainly won't be doubling down on the faceplate, lighthouses and controls from HTC now just to bring my cosmos up to minimum performance standards, I'll just go all in on Index when they finally become available here (in Aus too).
