SteamVR Beta Update 1.6.7 broke my steamvr?

[popeyes]

Since SteamVR just had happened to update today, July 19th, when I started up my SteamVR it would pop up with "Preparing to launch SteamVR..." then it would immediately disappear right after. Even when I tried to launch a game, like for example, VRChat, with SteamVR it would not cooperate.

The things that I have tried to fix this problem were:

-Verify the intergrity files of SteamVR
-Reinstall SteamVR
-Go through the files and delete some things to see if it was a problem dealing with navigating to the files
-Unplug and plug back in my VR headset
-Restart my computer
-Reinstalled Steam (twice)

I'm completely out of ideas since I know for a fact that it's detecting my headset because whenever i uninstalled steam and had my headset plugged in it automatically asked to install SteamVR. I'm extremely stressed since I've only gotten my VR a month ago, and I don't wanna give up on this. But, I'm completely down to the fact that its the update that has been giving me these problems, and I just want this to be resolved somehow since looking online for about 45 minutes or more isn't enough. Please help me out, thank you so much.

Can you upload a system report or tell us what account you're using SteamVR with?

Art3zival,

Can you try navigating to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\bin\win64\vrmonitor.exe and double clicking it directly and let me know what you see?

Also, did you just reinstall Windows on that PC?

[Art3zival]

No I haven't and it said it was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)

[bendotcom]

Thanks for the report.

Can you look in your Steam library under "tools" and find "Steamworks Common Redistributables" and launch that. It might not look like it's doing anything (it's a common package with standard stuff you get when you see "performing first time setup..."). Then try running vrmonitor.exe again and let me know if anything is different.

[Art3zival]

nothing changed

I just updated to the new SteamVR. SteamVR launches and says "Please plug in your VR headset" I am using the HP mixed reality headset and it is working fine in Windows 10. When I go into SteamVR headset, it says in red NO HEADSET DETECTED.

I have tried:
-Reinstall SteamVR
-Unplug and plug back in my VR headset
-Tried swapping the HDMI and USB ports
-Restart my computer

I am running Windows 10 1903 build 18362.239
Steam is installed on an Intel Optane drive, D:
All other Steam apps work fine
Gigabyte Aorus Master 390
Intel i7 9700k

SteamVR launches, and says Please plug in your VR headset

Yes, Windows 10 is a clean install. Only Steam and MS Office 2016 is currently installed.

You guys should really make your own threads, because you're responding to advice to other people.

popeye (OP): Probably need to delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\openvr\openvrpaths.vrpath

Art3zival, it seems like something non-VR specific is wrong with your machine. If you want help with that, you could open a support ticket. Whatever it is is going to require more troubleshooting on your part.

Clone: Did you install the WinMR driver on Steam? https://store.steampowered.com/app/719950/Windows_Mixed_Reality_for_SteamVR/

Yeah no, I deleted the openvrpaths.vrpath, tried opening steamvr again and it didn't work. I might just have to wait till SteamVR updates once again

Edit:
I feel so stupid. After i tried opening Pavlov to see if it just needed a game to have steamvr boot up, I guess that was the solution. When I started it up it booted up steamvr but when steamvr popped up it said “Please plug in your headset” even though it was already plugged in. When I saw that I just went into the SteamVR settings and clicked “Reset all SteamVR USB devices” or something like that, followed the steps it gave me and there it goes, it’s fixed.
