Sago36 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Yeh as I said earlier, the falling through the game is a separate issue to the grey screen. I can live with an occasional grey screen as the game is still playable , the falling into narnia issue ruins vr for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joellipenta Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 So it has been a while since I came back to this but I have been doing a lot of testing lately and this glitching definitely is tracking related, not so much the wireless. I can barely play games like Boneworks without it crashing. Other games where you get close to geometry have these issues as well. It's incredibly frustrating to be in the middle of a level in Boneworks and I get too close to a wall and all that time is lost. I will be (begrudgingly) getting the external tracking plate (as well as base stations AND new controllers since this is my first VR) set so I'll be putting well over $1300 at this point for the Cosmos, wireless, external tracking, controllers, etc. This is pretty ridiculous and at this point, I'm pretty mad at myself for keeping this headset when I could've gotten a Vive or Vive Pro (or even an Index) and spent less money and spent more time playing. I appreciate the improvements made with the tracking via the beta program, but I fear that certain games will just never work properly with the Cosmos as it was sold to me. I have to say, I'm a bit dejected. I don't feel it's right to have to spend hundreds of more dollars to get a stable experience. Looks like I don't have too much of a choice.

Thanks!Beta release 1.0.11.2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joellipenta Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 I have the new beta and can confirm it's the most stable build yet, but have not tested with Boneworks yet (HL:A has taken all of my time). I'm going to do some testing tomorrow and I'll report back. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not once did I get flung off "into the windy void". The tracking was much improved and rifles worked close to 100% (still had some jankyness when aiming down-sight with the rifle, but not nearly as much as previous beta versions). Thanks for this and I can finally get back into Boneworks!! Once I'm done with Half-Life:Alyx, that is.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
