Ok, just tested that, and that is a green light. My VR-ready laptop has Bluetooth, so I downloaded ViRo to that to test. It's literally just turn the max on, and the game will pick it up in a couple of seconds later. Now what do I/we do with our Lovense dongles?

I don´t get it to work. I have an external bluetooth dongle for Windows 10 PC. I startet ViRo and turn on Max 2. Green light of Max 2 flashes a few seconds and then the green light is permanently on. But no Toy on the Haptic-List of ViRo and no vibration in the game.

Hmm... This makes me wonder what your toy IS connected to, judging by you getting the solid green light. Since Bluetooth is a one-to-one connection, make sure it is NOT connected to any separate portals. In other words, make sure it is disconnected from services like:

• Lovense Remote (Mobile platform)
  
• Lovense Connect (Desktop service associated with the Lovense dongle)
  
• Windows Bluetooth service (ViRo bypasses this formality)

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, it didn't work. All Bluetooth devices (mobile) are turned off. The Lovense dongle is not plugged in and Lovense-Connect is not running. The toy is not listed in the Windows Bluetooth Service. The green light flashes until ViRo is started. Then the green light lights up permanently. So I think the connection to ViRo is there. But no toy in the Haptic list. No vibration. Are there any other ideas?

Mine works just fine, i turned on my max 2 then on Viro. I then tested haptics on viro, it vibrated so i knew it connected and when i entered the dreams my max 2 was working with it.

[Skywalker]

Now i bought a new bluetooth dongle in case that the other is broken. Unfortunately its the same. Green light is flashing. I started ViRo and the green light lights permanenty. But still no Toy in haptic list. Still no vibration. Are there any ideas from the developers?

Try different dongle , the max2 works with one out of three CSR 4.0 dongles that I have tried

And does this Work now with the USB Conector "Lovense" sell or not? I try and noting... And if not - What kind of "BT" dongle will Work with the "Max2" ?

BTW - Why dosent it link with the Lovense "Remote" or "Media Player" ?

This does NOT work with the Lovense dongle at the moment, and I am not sure if the ViRo devs are looking into compatibility through that interface instead. I have not looked into universal Bluetooth adapters in its stead; This is mostly because ViRo seems to be dead in the water, so I'm not investing in more tech for it. However, it does seem to work through my laptop, which is a gaming-build with Bluetooth capabilities.

As far as the Lovense Remote/Media Player question: Assuming that you mean 'Why doesn't [ViRo Playspace] link with them', the reason is that this would become a hellish game of telephone. Logistically, this is what would need to happen in between two Remote/ViRo users:
- Player A would send an impulse from their toy, which the phone will pick up
- The phone will then somehow send this impulse to Player A's PC
- This would then have to be translated by Player A's PC into the appropriate commands within ViRo (Which is both for the receiving toy, as well as on-screen animations)
- Once it's translated into a response, this would then be sent across the network to Player B's PC
- Player B's ViRo would then have to work in reverse, and translate that command back into an impulse message to be sent out to Player B's phone
- Player B's phone would finally pass the impulse on to Player B's toy to react

Naturally, each of these steps do take time (merely milliseconds), but this builds up to the point that it could lag out into 5-10 second response times. Likewise, each of these steps also cause further distancing and potential for data corruption and loss, which would easily throw both of your 'games' off.

However, I would highly recommend that a great workaround for this would be to simply use ViRo Playspace's future Social Club platform as a meet-and-greet, where you can simply exchange Remote info and 'play' directly with each other (assuming, of course, that both of you have Lovense toys).

@SilentScholar - THX for the Info... I dont know my GF & I use the "Remote" app, PC to PC over the Internet when we Video chat... it works well. BTW - i dont even have a Mobile Phone. But i was near to buy one cause you can use it to Tease the other in Public Places...

Anyway - Sad to hear that the Project seem to be Dead. It's a good Idea... Uthervers/Redlight Center allso did run good... at least the Time i have used it, years ago.

[SilentScholar]

@Player 1 - Whoops sorry, you meant the PC's Remote app, not mobile. Long day, so I forgot that the apps share the same name. Eh, same answer either way: It's just a transmission route that ViRo hasn't taken advantage of.

Perhaps I am being too hasty in calling the project officially dead, but it is certainly in a vegetative state.

[Player 1]

Just as Info... i Buyed a "Digitus DN-302110-1 Bluetooth V4.0 Tiny USB Adapter" and it DO NOT work... I can't connect Ingame and not in Windows. So what People on Discord told me was Wrong. It dosent Work with ANY "Bluethoot 4.0" dongle...

my max 2 wont sync and connect anymore

[Mercer_Neon]

well i just recently found out that if you turn on your Bluetooth settings and add a device you would see the dongle that you bought from lovense, you just need first to update the driver of the lovense from their app. then your pc or laptop will be able to see it when you add it on Bluetooth, it will work now on viro.
