Error 108

[Stumpybrady02]

Before the update my headset was always connected and worked. After the update, it keeps popping up the error that its not connected. I keep checking the wires and they are all connected. ive done some research and found that nothing helping. I have the valve index and there isnt much out there to help out. Does anyone know how to fix this issue.

Does steamvr stop recognizing your headset if you restart your computer? Is your fix stable?

Holding off hope, I reinstalled windows completely and the headset is now on and functioning. We'll see how long this lasts.

Just tried an old trick of deleting the entire steam folder except the Steamapps and Steam.exe files, no error 108 but it says "Welcome. Please plug in your VR headset." now

I've tried all the forum's, FAQ instructions even all the unplugging and plugging and I only get 3d camera. I even reinstalled Windows and still nothing. Reinstalling windows got rid of error 108 but it only says "Welcome. Please plug in your VR headset." too.

The very trippy part is... with a mini display to display port dongle and Using my Helios 300 laptop, the Valve Index works... but It won't work on my Desktop after going through all the other stuff.

Was able to play for a little over an hour with no problems. We'll see if it works in the morning.

Vibe, when you reinstalled windows did you do a clean wipe and reinstall? or did you reinstall windows keeping personal files etc?

Did you uninstall Steam at all? or update all the drivers first? Or did you simply reinstall windows and install steam and it worked?

I couldn't get the built in windows reset to work. I completely reinstalled windows off a USB, also cleared my hard drive, as I have nothing important stored on my PC.

I also installed drivers after installing Steam.

I do apologise mine seems to be that the breakaway lead had come detatched some how. I feel so stupid. Anyhoo, very happy once again

I had the same problem.
Oculus Rift S worked fine with apps that have direct oculus support, but steam vr showed error 108 and couldn't find the headset.
Support advised me to try the Steam Beta AND Steam VR Beta and it works again.
There is no need to reconnect cables or reinstall drivers etc, just use the beta.

just started here with for me too

same issue, first error 108, then after I installed a clean OS a steamVR just asks me to plug in my headset.
also, I just figured that etron camera on the headset is working and I can use it, also I can use USB hub in the headset for a flash drive, so USB cable is also workable as a DisplayPort cable because I can see desktop via it. So probably the problem in the firmware of a headset so is it possible to rollback or reset firmware of a headset?

No idea if it's stable. I haven't turned off SteamVR since, lol. I've been playing Alyx and I don't want to risk messing it up permanently while we're mid-lockdown.
