Hello all. I did a lot of research before posting here, but haven't found any conclusive answer yet.
I've had my Rift S for about six months, and I've played E
in spurts several times during that period. Up until a week ago, the only issue I ever had was the seating position abruptly changing itself now and then, but I found ways to mitigate that, though not prevent it entirely.
About a week ago (more like 4-5 days ago) I suddenly started getting a much more serious error. I'd get the grey-out that you get just before a tracking reset, but it would last longer than usual, and then the Oculus software would take me right out of the game and prompt me to set up Guardian. At its worst, it can happen multiple times, just minutes apart, and at best I get maybe a couple of hours without being interrupted.
The lighting in this room hasn't changed significantly in the past week, but after googling the issue I turned on an extra lamp to give the headset some extra tracking data. I can't tell if it's helped at all - the issue keeps happening, and I'm not sure if the frequency has changed. Tonight it happened three times in the space of about half an hour, and I damned near threw my headset across the room, I was so frustrated.
Has anyone else had this issue and been able to resolve it? It seems to only happen in E - I played Batman Arkham VR for a few hours about a week ago and it didn't drop out once.
In case this is helpful, I'm running Windows 10 and have a GTX 1080, controlling the game with an X-52 Pro, and I run the game from Steam (I hate having that extra software overhead, but what can ya do). I don't know if this makes a difference, but I will often listen to podcasts via YouTube on Firefox while playing.
Any thoughts? Thanks everyone.
