Steam not detecting my Pico 4 VR headset

[Aylianis]

Steam not detecting my Pico 4 VR headset. He was doing well a few days ago. I play wirelessly. Is there a way to fix this problem or any other program that allows you to play the steam vr game?

[wooki]

Do you use Pico Connect or Virtual Desktop? SteamVR didn't detect my controllers just a while ago but that was because it hadn't updated to the latest beta. Works great on my end now.

I've been using Streaming Assistant for my headset, I've been using it for a year

Streaming assistant is no more, if your headset has updated to 5.9 firmware, you now require Pico connect

Uninstall Pico streaming assistant on PC and install Pico connect from Pico website.

Okay, I didn't know, I'm going to go download it. Thank you

And that´s the reason why i DIDN´T updated the OS-Firmware of my Pico.
Pico connect requires a login to Pico. You CAN´t use Pico Connect OFFline. Always on !
Also the new 5.9.2 is blocking third-party software like some games which wanted to install on the headset.
I will stay on Pico OS 5.8.2. That´s fine and makes no problems.

Try updating your headset to newest version and download Pico Connect. Worked for me

Sure Benson, but what i did written in the post before ? Or are you able to crack the firmware ? Mean, you are a russian, you should able to jailbreak the newest version (and let us know how the dog was doin´ that)

That's just not true.

Pico connect 'login' is so instead of displaying a connection screen in headset for WiFi or usb, if you are logged in, if will automatically immediately go to your desktop.

You don't have to login at all, it just speeds up process and essentially makes the Pico connect app a desktop viewer as soon as it's open, of course you can start steam vr from there too.

Offline is fine?

When i got my new router with Wifi6 the old Streaming-Assistent needs to login to the new connections. And there i need to fill in my username and email-adress and my age.

When i tried to connect to my old router with NEW Pico Connect-Software over cable not Wifi i needed to login too. Also the software wanted to connect to the Internet which i don´t want to allow. So i couldn´t use it for PCVR.
And i was tracing which IPs Pico Connect wanted to contact. Why was PConnect connecting to Japan ? Pico is a chinese company.

Installing apps onto the headset is very usefully. So i did mods for Doom 3 and Prey 2006 to play it standalone. And both games are bought over the Steamshop.
Afraid that won´t possible cause Pico OS 5.9.2. I can´t test it because a fallback to older OS isn´t possible anymore after installation of a new OS.

@GmoLargey

Maybe you could try to install mods on your headset, or appllications like the free "MiXplorer" or other tools to manage the headset.

Is it still possible to unlock the "Advanced Options"? For changing features like "Loading the headset OR the Filebrowser"

I have a Chinese pico 4 since I can't do a pico account, I can't use pico connect. That's why I was using streaming assistant. I'll have to find another solution.

[2⊛2]

Why you can´t create an account ? Thought it is a "Must have" to use the Pico.

[Aylianis]

because you need a Chinese email to create a pico account with a Chinese headset unless it has changed since the last time I tried

[2⊛2]

That is strange. Means if i get an email-adress in South-America i can´t use a Pico 4 or create an account which i bought in Europe ?
Guess it is true because they want to restrict the content for users. They have to respect the laws of the countries and what you can watch or play on your headset is forbidden by law in my country. Yes ?

[Aylianis]

No if you bought the world version you don't have thin problem, it's just that i have chinese not the world version

[2⊛2]

Ahh ok. Sad that there are different versions. Do you have an idea why there are a chinse version and one for the rest of the world ? Is your hardware cheaper ?
I had to pay 430 Euros / 3.335,9 CNY in Germany for 128 GB-Version.
