Image in VR showing as Stereo in each eye

[Thalacalibur]

Since a day ago, when I start up Steam VR and launch a game, about 2 minutes into it my lens seperate into two single lens circles instead of a whole connected image. It's hard to describe the exact look of how it is, but it is not pleasant. I haven't seen this problem when searching around the internet, so I came here hoping to find the problem. Any ideas?

@Poison Dart Frag if it is what I've experienced, although quite some time ago, it's basically the image of both eyes that gets crammed into one of the panels, for me I think it was the left eye. I remember getting this while playing and I had to restart SteamVR to fix it, might be a year or so ago?!

Wow, weird, sounds like an issue with changing the resolution, or maybe somehow the individual panels being recognized as separated devices...

I'm a bit confused by your description, any chance you can take some photos or video of what the headset is showing and post a link here?

Think of it as this picture:

But in my eyes it looks slightly disoriented, off centered, and an abnormal saturation.
(I tried taking a screenshot, but steam made it into a whole image while it was messed up for me.)

Can you take a photo with a camera or phone?

It doesn't come out the same, you can really only see it in VR

I'm confused...

Any luck so far?

You should consider changing the title of the post as the title implies the physical lens(es) are physically separating (coming apart). What you are describing sounds more allong the lines of

"Image in VR showing as Stereo in each/left/right eye"

Thanks, fixed it

Ah, so each eye sees the screen doubled?

A little update on this, today I played VR again and it was a while before my problem came; however, I was playing a boxing game at the time of the problem, and I continued playing while closing one eye so the problem doesn't hurt my head. Then the next thing I know, as I'm throwing punches, the problem fixed itself, which makes me believe it could be a hardware problem like whilst playing, a wire plugged into the headset (like the hdmi cable) is a little loose, and it disrupts my view from the game to the headset. This is just my theory, but I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem.

I know this is old, and I've since switched to a Index, but my problem was I accidentally rolled over the power cord for the Vive, causing the image to become messed up. I don't know if this is the problem you're experiencing, but since then I've kept all my cables neat and behind my desk.
