    [RF2, HP Reverb G2 with Windows Mixed Reality] Earlier this year, my start sequence was always:
    1. start WMR
    2. start Steam (admin)
    3. start OVRMC using a desktop shortcut to the .bat file; which of course launched SteamVR
    4. start RF2 from Steam (via Desktop)
    Since the updates that necessitated OVRMC release 0.3.7, step 4 now fails:

    "rFactor 2 will launch into an environment in your VR HMD as well as on your desktop. Performance may not be acceptable ... "

    And it is not possible to get pass this.

    The above steps did not require VR to be used until the RF2 car was in the pits and ready to go.

    I have tried now to do the latter steps in VR:
    1. start WMR
    2. start Steam (admin)
    3. inVR, start SteamVR
    4. in VR, bring up SteamVR Dashboard (right controller little button)
    5. in VR, bring up OVRMC (little cog on bottom of Dashboard) and enable MC
    6. in VR, start RF2, select car, etc.; ready in pits
    But now I am looking at the pits (with the headset) looking through a hole in some black layer. It is like I have a black helmet on my head with a slot to look out (i.e. the VR headset), and another helmet over the first one and I am trying to look out through the two of them. This seems like the warning given about: "rFactor 2 will launch into an environment in your VR HMD".

    What start sequence should I be doing?

    Hi,
    In steam, right click the mixed reality for SteamVR , properties and under beta, select the LKG version. It should fix the black stuff

    which motion software do you combine the motion compensation? Flygpt mover, or is it possible with simtools too?

    Hello Guys, I have a Reverb G2 and I toyed both virtual tracker and HP controller. Virtual tracker is to difficult to setup with the ovrmc plug-in output for flygpt mover and the results was over compensation. With the hp controller I had better results. But when my rig is rolling for sway effect the compensation comes back with a notisable lag.
    The other problem is, that even when the controller is located on the table so it is laying stll, I have in the view drift and up and down drifts. So it can’t be the vibrations of the rig. Tried out even when motion rig is disabled. Is there an issue in wmr or what else can I try?

    Hi, no,
    I don't own HP stuff. I'm using a HTC Vive Pro.

    FlyPT Mover has a virtual tracker that you can use for either OVR compensation or OXR compensation tools.

    Not sure What I am doing wrong. I installed OpenVR motion compensation as directed. Set up my FLPT OVRMC output. But the virtual compensation device does not show up in my list in OVRMC settings in Steam VR.. Any help? Using a Quest 2.

    On your steam VR dashboard there should be a little cogwheel for the OVRMC settings. You need to activate it there, and set the center of rotation of your rig.

    I got into the settings but my virtual motion device (Fly PT OVRMC) is not showing up. Just the 2 controllers for the quest.

    Hi guys,

    would like your expert help : I just try to make OVRMC works with my Crystal but I don't achieve to do it.

    Case 1 : 1/2 it doesn't launch (I don't see it in dashboard, but SVR settings panel shows it's launched, and SteamVR\drivers\00vrmotioncompensation\bin\win64 log file doesn't update)

    Case 2 : steamVR crash at startup, and have to reboot and unblock extension.

    I tried SVR and SVR beta, maybe it does'nt come from pimax ...

    thanks for your help

    I followed the steps to install OVRMC, but the cog doesn't show up.. I tried all the troubleshooting advice ("If you cannot see the small cogwheel on your SteamVR dashboard, check the following:"). I am running the latest SteamVR (1.26.7) and not beta. I am using OVRMC v0.3.7 I tried restarting SteamVR, restarting Steam, the PC, uninstalling OVRMC and uninstalling SteamVR with a clean uninstallation deleting all traces of SteamVR and OVRMC and doing a fresh SteamVR install and initial setup then reinstall OVRMC. No luck, the 'cog' won't show in the overlay menu. Of course I tried activating it: [​IMG]

    Here are my logs, hope someone can help?

    The ddl seems loaded.
    no idea why the cog is not there but you could try to open the desktop version of it. there is a desktop. bat file in the OVRMC installation folder. if lucky it may work.

    I tried the 'startdesktopmode.bat', nothing happens.. In task manager there is no program started.. here are my settings:
    [​IMG]

    I tried turning them on and off and restarting SteamVR and restarting the PC, no luck, no OVRMC 'cog' visible.. I tried uninstalling OVRMC and reinstalling it multiple times, it just won't seem to run. I have Windows Defender turned off completely, during installation and during running. Is there any other log I could look for?

    you can use startdesktopmode.bat when steamvr is started. On my side it's what I always do.
    If it still fail you could try reinstalling steamvr and steam maybe.
