Had my Vive for 4 days now yet run into a problem with it. While playing the screen sometimes just goes blank, tracking is still fine and all cables are still connected firmly, have to reboot the vr system to get it working again. Highly annoying.

Try lowering the camera rate in the SteamVR options or using a different USB port (some say using 2.0 over 3.0 works better).

Camera is already set to lowest rate of 30hz, already plugged into USB2, but neither of those should really affect the display which just goes blank, totally switches off.

Checked the leads going into the Vive headset itself?

I did have a day where if I looked straight down the headset kept going grey like it was losing tracking or something, but it's not done it since.

Yeah checked leads in the HMD as well as the break out box and PC, still happens, totally random as well, doesnt generate an event log in windows, even the SteamVR logs show nothing.

Wow so; I installed AltSpaceVR and I've just lost several hours talking to random strangers. This is how I envisaged VR 20 years ago. With the ability of hand gestures via the Vive's controllers plus head bobbing curtesy of the HMD tracking make this much more of a personal experience than I expected.

Had payment been reserved or was it blocked / declined? I thought most of the Wave1 orders had gone out now...

I doubt they have. There is no way all the April orders will be delivered in April.

I sure hope QA isnt going down the pan too.

HTC Crap outfit.. wont be buying any of their products again

Quick good on reddit shows someone else having black screen issue.

I really hope peeps don't pay a lot of money for faulty premature kit.

OMG, the CC transaction for my Logmein order was rejected overnight

Skynet5 · 18 Apr 2016 at 06:45

Just checked my CC. Charge pending!

Although with all the dead pixel stories I fear its going straight back.

No wonder they are charging so much for delivery. They are expecting a lot of EU returns.

Skynet5 · 18 Apr 2016 at 06:46

Guess this is still early days. CC pending could still expire etc.

I wouldn't worry too much, the CC transaction for my order expired twice before my order was sent.

When it was sent it wasn't even showing but the moneys still came out the following day.

rejected transactions are how most of the logmein reorders got in that position in the first place

I suppose their is a chance they should ship this week then for wave 2. I'm pretty sure they can't take money until they actually ship...

This isn't an expiration, this is a block by the bank because they see it as fraudulent activity
