*** HP Reverb G2 Owners Thread ***

[Andy D]

I’m going to try again at 8 o’clock. There’s a scalper on eBay that’s managed to get hold of loads. No way will I ever pay more than RRP for anything.
People will be standing outside their local shop after buying all the milk, selling pints at £5 a go at this rate

Good luck people

And so it begins... crash...

I feel lucky to already have a G2, it's a poor situation.

So many things out of stock and hard to get hold of.

Good luck to anyone trying to get a G2.

Yep, look at what happened when Quest 1's were in short supply - prices rocketed. Second hand ones going for the price of new or even higher.

If only facebook made graphics cards.... we'd all be sorted.

So for the most part my Reverb G2 works perfectly but I still get the odd stutter in the headset even though my GPU and CPU usage is around 40-50%. Seems to get worse when you move your head around.

Any suggestions on if anything can be done?

There are issues with Nvidia drivers and Steam VR with occasional latency spikes. Are you running any performance monitoring software? That's what causes the issue.

It's likely something interfering with the tracking. I experience it when it starts to get dark and i haven't got up to turn the main light on. Never a problem with the Index running in the same software environment, so i wouldn't call out anything else beyond that.

SystemActive sent me an email link to buy the G2 headset and controllers.

It's available to buy now, so be quick. Go go go!

Here is the link.

AMD have announced that AGESA 1.2.0.2 is coming and is intended to address USB issues on x570. Fingers crossed!

Wonder why you got sent a direct link. I've only had the 8pm (again) email.
Seems to be working, can add one to my basket. Already got one ordered with HP, so think I'll stick that out. I'll be annoyed if SA get them sent out sooner.

When is yours due from HP?

23rd March. And they've already given me a £30 voucher for the inconvenience

Ok, that doesn't sound too bad and a nice little discount too.

Great, April-ish isn’t too long. Gigabyte hasn’t been the quickest with 1.2.0.0 (still beta) and doesn’t have any beta 1.2.0.1 either (briefly posted but withdrawn)... here’s hoping they can get their act together and get this one out quickly.

Yes noticed that too, Gigabyte seem slow to update the Bios on their motherboards, first Gigabyte motherboard here.

No performance monitors running, just an OC on my 3070 with afterburner but not running riva tuner etc.

Doesn't happen very often but really breaks the immersion and is annoying.

 

[jonnylaris]

Just fixed it, disabling advanced super sampling in steam has totally got rid of all the stuttering!

 

[Toothy1911]

Surprisingly, orders are still live on SA from last night. They must have sold their allocation by now? Are they taking further pre-orders?

Mine has just changed to the 18th (was 23rd last night)... I guess the SA shipment and the HP direct batch are all on the same boat.
