The Vive screen turns into a white vr space when i put the headset on.

I load up Elite Horizons and have it set for VR.
The headset set tracks normally on the screen and I can even see in the lenses what I am supposed to see.
Once I put the goggles on my face (and a little sensor inside is covered up) the screen turns into a whitish vr area.
When I take the goggles off the game appears in them again.
Is there a setting I am missing or some way to make it so I can see the game with the goggles on?
I did just install the vive and software and restarted.

Maybe when you put it on, the lighthouses loose sight of it? Try moving the lighthouses to different positions

In the position when it does display normally try covering the sensor with your finger. What happens?

Same problem here - if you cover the sensor inside the Vive (in the middle of the lenses) then it all goes white.

So - when you are not wearing them - all ok - when you put them on and it goes dark inside - we are in the mysterious white VR space.

Still googling to figure it out - but we appear to be having the same issue.

My Vive is new today so I don't know if it is related to the patch that just came out.

Cheerio,

OK - appear to have resolved it.

I had configured my Vive for room scale. And all appeared to go well with the set up.

However, when I went back in to SteamVR, it asked me to configure the space again. It did not appear to have saved my settings correctly.

I then configured the room for small scale / standing. Had to listen to the silly tutorial all over again - and then exited.

Brought up Elite - and everything appears to be working. At least on the startup screen.

Now to go immerse myself in the wonders of Brabens Galaxy!
