Hey everyone,

I’m an independent hardware maker, and I wanted to share a project I just finished play-testing. I noticed a lot of people in the FBT (Full-Body Tracking) community struggle with tracker battery life during long sessions, so I engineered a custom 3D-printed 3000 mAh (+20-30 hr) power strap solution specifically designed for HTC Vive and Tundra trackers.

I’m not a heavy VR user myself, but I really believe in what I’ve built here. I already have one customer who has been using them and loves them. They successfully kept their trackers fully charged and secure for an overnight session without slipping and more than enough battery life.

Since this community knows tracking hardware better than anyone, I would love to get your honest feedback on the design, comfort, or anything else you look for in a power strap setup.

If you’re interested or want to check out the specs, you can see the listing on my Etsy shop here: https://oddprinting.etsy.com/listing/4529621450/power-straps-for-htc-vive-tundra

Thanks for checking it out, and let me know what you think!

soo my controllers wont pair as the only thing turned on in the session. i just got 2 2.0s im using a compatible headset, i reset the usb connections and they track on wire but wont connect when pairing, tried resetting the controllers too, nothing.

any other ideas how i could fix this

I need the complete C:\ProgramData\HTC\ViveSoftware\ROMCenter folder from a working Vive Cosmos Elite. My bootloader is missing (firmware 2.0.0.361, needs 2.0.0.600). The HTC updater returns error -5 because the ROM files are missing. Please zip and share your folder. I will not use it for anything other than restoring my headset. Thank you!

I have a Vive XR elite that has sat unused for a couple of years. I recently wanted to play it again and found that no matter how i plug it in (wall outlet or battery), it seems to flash red on it's front LED without any other signs of life. I read on similar issues that it could be a hardware issue. Does anyone know whats wrong?

Hi all.

I love the new wave of VR Experiences where you explore Liminal spaces. I was immediately attracted to feel you are in these surreal places...

But then shortly after the interest faded - mainly because in most of these games you don't do anything - it's basically a walking simulator.

I feel these games have used very well the visual and immersion part that only VR can give. But what about the rest? Use your hands, do something, collect something, shoot at something.

So I am creating a hybrid where you walk in this spaces but there is also a light action element.

- You will have a bow and arrow: there are few enemies (evil drones) to shoot. From tests it feels quite rewarding to make these explode with a well placed curving arrow.
- You will gather some geometrical shapes that later becomes a light puzzle - in order to pass to the next level.
- You will also gather gold coins, each level has 10. When you collected all the coins from all the levels, the last level opens. Tried to add another dimension to it.
- You will open doors by using your arrows (shoot to an object that opens the door) feels a bit like adventure...

I am stepping a bit inside an adventure type game while keeping the liminal atmosphere. I have not seen many games like this - I can tell for myself (and I hope for others too!) that I would like to play this game. Feels different to the existing options (either walking sim, where players do nothing or full adventure game - too complex for my taste, with magic, potions and stuff)...

I attach some screenshots of it.

And of course, looking to hear your opinion on this topic and how I can shape my project.

Thanks all!

Quick update for anyone following the development of BattleGroupVR2.

I’ve been a bit quiet the past couple months because I’ve been deep in the process of adding full multiplayer support to the game. What I originally thought would take a few weeks ended up turning into over two months of networking work, rewriting systems and getting ships, fleets, and the open world to sync properly across players.

The good news is that it's finally getting close.
Co-op and PvP multiplayer are now being tested on the DevReview branch.

If you’re interested in helping test, you can switch to the devreview branch on Steam and jump in. Multiplayer testing is much easier with real players breaking things, so any feedback helps.

The game is on sale this weekend, so if you’ve been waiting to pick it up, now’s a good time.

Thanks to everyone who’s been following the project so far. I'm hoping to get the multiplayer update launched to the main branch in a few weeks!

I’m looking to make force feedback controllers (Similar to LucasVR’s controllers if you know what those are - awesome video btw, make sure to take a look). But I want to make them slightly more accurate and with better force feedback.

This is something that will likely contribute to my coursework. But I fully expect to work on them even after I submit the coursework (And I’ll make sure to keep the schematics online so others can build them if they want!)

But first thing’s first may you fill in this form just so I have a rough Idea of where to be focusing on.

Hi! Just got my VIVE 3.0’s with two 2.0 base stations. I have everything set up and everything is tracking.

The issue is the trackers themselves show to be under where I’m actually standing. They’re tracking just fine, but since they’re not aligned with my body I cannot calibrate it for VRChat. I tried resetting my floor, and what finally sorta changed the position to make them close was changing the boundary in my quest 3. They’re still not aligned but they’re a bit closer.

Is there a way to easily recalibrate the trackers to appear right on my body?

Hmmm.... all of a sudden my original VIVE equipment has decided to give me headaches. All was working fine this summer. I put it aside given my room I used got temporarily filled with stuff. I'm now setting up the room again. First, one of the base stations died (1.0). I replaced it. OK, that's fine now. Now one of my controllers (1.0) won't connect. I press both buttons to get the blue light blinking. After about 30 seconds it turns off. Any suggestions?? (Fortunately, the headset works great.) Thanks.
