HTC Vive

Ordered 1st April and got my shipping notice from DHL for delivery Tuesday.

Compare to the Rift which was about 30 mins into preorder day and no sign until June.

Tuesday was going to be Overwatch day but not thats thrown a spanner in the works.
 
decided to do a complete reinstall of windows to see if that helps with the camera. I'm on insider preview fast ring so maybe that is screwing stuff up.
 
Software is certainly a factor with regard to some of the camera issues out there.

Case in point - had the Vive since the initial shipments and the camera has worked flawlessly (mini cam on the dash, 'tron' mode etc), but after installing Cinevo and following their instructions to install LAV filters and changing the default h.264 filter, the functionality of the camera disappeared completely.
Couldn't get it back at all after reboots etc.........now maybe something changed with regard to default camera devices etc, but I didn't wait around to find out.

Uninstalled Cinevo, LAV filters etc, and uninstalled SteamVR and redone the Vive setup program (installing drivers etc) and the camera was back running perfect.

Had my delivery text too for Tuesday. Now to wangle a day off work to be in for it and then setup and play the darn thing!
 
Delivery just after a bank holiday weekend :-( still its
coming!

In other news. I just did a full reinstall on windows 10. Camera now works on the vive !!!!!

Just have to concern myself about the 1 slightly bright green pixel...pretty confident I can ignore that.
 
Tinkering with Revive and grabbing all the free stuff. I'd like to give Dreadhalls a shot but it's a tenner. Happy to pay if I know I can keep it, but I fear the cross-platform compatibility will get squashed at some point. Is there a demo somewhere?
