Wierd colours fading pulses in DK2 - any ideas

[VR andysonofbob]

Hi

I have just started getting these wierd fading-colour pulses. It looks similar to when you try to move out of the camera's range but I am well within it. Literally just staring straight ahead. It is really quick, it takes about 0.5seconds for the pulse to complete and happons randomly but have been increasing in frequency.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I've had something like this happen occasionally - more so on my previous rig (2x780tis, i7-2600k, 8Gb) but also once or twice on my new one (2x980tis, not SLId obviously, i7-6700k, 32Gb).

On the old machine I thought it coincided with a frame rate drop too, but on the new machine that's less likely.

I think ultimately what's happening is that the Oculus service is not keeping synced with the camera for some reason. It could be lots of things - i thought it was a power drop over the USB port, but it could also have been a dodgy connection.

So try switching usbs on your camera and see if that makes a difference?

Edit - it could also be a CPU core parking problem - see number 4 on the OP of this thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=121355
