Never resolved for me despite v2 cable, bios updates etc. Does seem to be temperature related imo - happens less in the summer and would explain why leaving it plugged in for a bit first to warm up "fixes" it on the next power cycle.

Hi, I have the i5-6600k. I had it before 2020.
Thanks.

for most things the CPU would be ok. I would say you will be ok with a G2 if you adjust expectations but you are at the bottom end of it being worth while. I think you are better off with the quest if I am honest.

I have found using open composite instead of steamVR makes a significant sifference
Did some testing with G2 and yes still getting steamVR crashing. Starts to judder then crashes out.
Also tried open composite, which looks like you replace the openvr_api.dll file fromGitHub site in the game folder (32bit and 64bit versions). On Assetto Corsa open composite just gives a “Failed to create libOVR session: -1007” error straight away.
Maybe it’s a Windows 11 thing. Will try steamVR and use quest 2

That is very interesting! I'm encouraged that I'm not the only one still suffering this issue. I also thought I had fewer issues during warmer months, but couldn't be sure and wondered if I could just be losing my mind! I think I might experiment by placing my headset near a heater (not too hot!) before plugging it in...
EDIT: Does anyone know any way of having the Reverb G2 report its temperature please???

Been trying everything to resolve the steam vr crash problem now, seems to be getting worse. Happens just in the menu in Project Cars 2 now which was fine before.
Tried uninstalling + reinstalling steamVR & steamVR for mixed reality
Have a new power supply on the way to try, and will also try old V1 cable too.
Again no problem at all using quest 2.
GPU and CPU temps fine

Reinstalled, but windows 10 rather than 11. Back to being smooth as butter. Haven’t installed chipset drivers from my mobo site either. So far so good
[Edit] Yep, installed all other drivers and usual setup…Fanatec shifter & handbrake, Simhub Arduino for pedal and buttkicker rumble, Simucube wheel stuff. All still working great, no stuttering and no crashes.
So seems like was a Windows 11 issue for my setup so will stick with 10

If using a 2080ti and can use the USB C on the card instead of MB is the G2 v1 worth it for 200US? I have a 3900x and an x470 taichi. I currently use the Rift S.

$200. sure I would say so. you could get more than half of it back selling the rift as well
Probably the holographic shell issue? causes a load of stuttering and I saw some reporting crashes.

i haven't played recently, life n stuff, but I had a 6800XT and playing il-2 was scary realistic, felt like i was actually crashing in the plane, its good
, I have all the il-2 great battles now apart from Normandy, and just recently upgraded to a FE 3090 ti, so looking forwarding to playing it properly, especially as i have my hotas installed on my chair,! not sure how the 3080 will do in iL-2, its plenty capable, but depends on how much Vram you'll need i guess, it was one of the reasons i went with AMD, but dont know how demeanding il-2 is on Vram, i guess like you say you can try it and upgrade if not,

Il-2 is great, look at this thread on the Il-2 forum. Lots of good info there https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/81164-hp-reverb-update-settings-10302022/
Thankyou. I’m-2 has laughably low vram requirements I barely use 4 with everything maxed in pancake so a 3080 should be fine.i haven't played recently, life n stuff, but I had a 6800XT and playing il-2 was scary realistic, felt like i was actually crashing in the plane, its good

Since my last post I've found a more reliable sequence for getting my Reverb G2 to "start-up" correctly with WMR in the cooler winter months. I definitely need to pre-warm it! I do this by placing it on the vents on the top of my PC case, so the heat rises through it. I also find I need to plug it in (USB and power) so it warms up electrically too. Even doing this it won't start-up correctly in WMR first time.... instead I need to switch off (using the button on the v2 cable power supply) and remove the USB from my PC. I count to 10, then plug in and power up again. I can then fire up WMR and it all works correctly! The longer I pre-warm it the greater the chance of success.
Does anyone else go through a similar pre-warming routine?
An additional benefit of pre-warming is it reduces fogging of the lenses.
I’m looking to get G2 V2 faceplate for my G2 V1
Could someone with G2 V2 go to https://parts.hp.com/
and type in their serial number?
I wonder whether the latest face gasket part number come up as an available replacement part.
For my G2 V1 serial, i get the following for the face plate:
M09578-000
SPS-FABRIC FACE MASK & HEADPAD
Could anyone with version 2 (two piece face gasket) check?
