Rift S DisplayPort issue

Support got back to me last night with the suggestion to delete some programs known to conflict. That didn't work, so this morning they have suggested a complete clean install of Oculus.

I nearly fell at the first hurdle, as this included booting to safe mode to uninstall - and I couldn't remember what my offline Windows password is to save my life. Got that sorted though, and Oculus is currently installing... Wish me luck!
 
Nothing overclocked.
Username is entirely alphanumeric.
Connected using DisplayPort.

It's fairly frustrating, just lucky that it only impacts the ability to play VR games, so there's plenty more I can do.

I guess there's the potential that I'll just have to wait for further firmware updates and hope one fixes it.

Somethings to try, if you aren't too busy.

Can you connect the headset to the display port the Monitor is in? connect the monitor to a different port.

Try disabling XMP and setting the memory to 2400Mhz.

Already tried both those. :)

I do very much appreciate both the suggestions and the emotional support on this thread though. :)
 
To be honest, I'm going to leave it alone for at least a few days, to let the frustration levels subside. But once I return to it, I may give that one a try. I already have the full instructions for a full Oculus wipe, since support had me perform one.
 
Support sent a suggestioin which seemed very sensible - a clean boot.

So booted the system with only Microsoft and Oculus services running... still didn't work!

How is this possible!?

Incompatible with my GFX card somehow?
 
You mean swapping over the cards? I think I'd be asking too much of him!

Mind you, I'm sure the card in his old system was just good enough to run VR. I could certainly ask him if I can borrow that...
 
It's a 1050Ti apparently. So given I already have the nVidia drivers for my 1080Ti, I should be able to just pull one out and install the other.

Might give it a go when I can get it off him - probably next weekend.
 
I think I mustn't have told support I'd done a Windows reset - hard to remember there's been so many messages!

I say this because of their suggestion above about the clean boot, and now they have suggested a clean re-install.

As I understand the terminology though, they're referring to a re-install which wipes everything from the computer - all programs, all data.

Big question - does it wipe all drives? Or just the C: drive? If it wipes all drives, then I've got some major extra backing up to do - since my D and E drives are my main backup locations. I guess the E drive I could just unplug temporarily since it's just files on that one. D has steam games and the like, so unplugging that might cause some errors...
 
Performed the full clean install (I unplugged the other drives to make absolutely sure).

With the only software re-installed being Geforce Experience and Oculus - the problem still occurs.
 
Power supply is brand new, a Seasonic 650W 80 Plus Gold.

Bios is totally up to date, as I did that recently to resolve an issue I was having with shut downs.

I haven't tried the GPU in a different PCIe slot yet. I'll be getting hold of that GTX1050Ti on Tuesday, so I'll install that into a different slot and try two changes in one.
 
Sorry, I tried to methodically check all the suggestions and reply, but I missed that one - yes, I am using two separate power cables for my GPU.

I know what you are saying is correct about 2 changes at once. But I'm having a frustration break, so I am going to make the GPU change and the PCIe slot change at the same time anyway. If it fixes it, I'll be so pleased that having to then make a further couple of changes to check what was the defining factor will not bother me at all. :)

I also realise now I haven't tried your local account suggestion yet. If the GPU changes don't resolve matters, that will be my next attempt (a few days later again!)
 
Well there's a thing.

Tried the GTX 1050Ti in my other PCIe slot (which is really tight!) ... and it worked!

So tried the 1050Ti in the slot I usually use ... and it worked! (It gave me a moment's hesitation where Oculus reported instead that it wasn't even compatible - but's that because I had jumped the gun and tried it before Windows had recognised the card fully.)

So it's the GPU that the Rift S doesn't like. Or at least the GPU when combined with my other hardware. Weird.

I guess I'll report this back to Oculus and see what they suggest. But I can't see what they can suggest apart from changing my GPU.

What's a worthwhile but cost-effective upgrade from a 1080Ti? I probably will want to stick with nVidia as I have a GSync monitor.
