iVRY did better at porting the headset than sony
though i do support bringing the headset to pc sony just failed at actually getting the software correctly working and needs to fix it. i just hop they dont put things in that keeps it from working with others who did a better job, at least until sony gets it fully working. maybe throw in a few extra features or compensation for the non working launch this turned out to be when people have spent what they have spent on this whole ordeal, especially those that adopted it early for the higher price.

What exactly iVRy did better?

He can't sleep, probably got delusional because of this.

Didn't his adapter cost $300?

And people are complaining about Sony's $60 one? Lol

It worked. The Sony drivers refuse to install the headset on my PC

Worked flawlessly for me. So it's definitely not Sony :p

You might need an updated Microsoft Visual C++ runtime package. I believe it's the 2015-2022 one.

I've tried everything. I have 8 hours logged on on to PSVR2 driver in Steam and not a single moment of that time has been in VR on my main PC (it works fine on my 2nd less powerful PC though?)

Fresh installation, Removed all other hardware. Different USB ports, Different DP ports etc etc. I can go on forever. It simply refuses to connect the headset to the PC.#

The adapter is what comes with a Varjo Aero. It has a more powerful power adapter. It cost £150.

i mean the connectivity to the headset. as long as im using ivry my headset works.

Playstation failed with the software. i cant keep mine from freezing just to update the thing. the controllers both connect, the headset gets connected properly, i hit next and then it sits there for an hour frozen then sais failed to update retry. so stuck there.

im not saying the adaptor sux. and im a big sony fan dont get me wrong. but ivry i can already use with this adaptor and get use of the headset. now the controllers however i cant use with ivry that im aware of yet. im stuck with the controller there.

This all may change if i gain operation of both the controllers and headset at same time but by which one will be the question. im running a rtx 3060 and 24G of ram and running a i5. its connected through the pspc adaptor through a displayport cable using a 8k and 16k cable and through a usb 3 cable. the bluetooth adapter, though my pc is setup for vr gaming has a good bluetooth and wifi connectivity and the antenna built in, i also have the tp link bluetooth usb module as well.

not sure whats causing it to freeze up. works on ivry fine.

if you have iVRy installed, than that is the issue. It's been posted here in the forums since Day One that you need to uninstall everything iVRy on your system for the PSVR2 to work correctly.

It doesn't work on certain CPU/motherboards.

It works on my 14900K with Gigabyte motherboard.
It doesn't work on my 13900KF with ASRock motherboard.

All other parts are same brand or identical.

Can you specify motherboard models, and bluetooth card models (usb or pcie) ??
I wonder what the difference is.
wickfut Aug 20, 2024 @ 3:51am 
Motherboard in the 13900kf is ASRock Z790 Livemixer. 128GB Corsair 5200MT DDR5. Motherboard in the 14900k is Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX. 64GB Corsair 6000MT DDR5.
Same 1600w PSU's in both , Similar NVME drives etc.

Working set up has built in WIFI. Not working setup I tried a TP-LINK AX3000 PCIe wifi card. A iLamvie Bluetooth 5.4 USB adapter, and a TPLink UB5A USB adapter.

The controllers paired in all of the adapters. I couldn't get the headset to install. In the 13900KF PC it would try and install some firmware in the PSVR2 and would eventually time out. The 14900k PC installed fine. No issues.

Have you tried connecting with a lan cable?

Haven't you finished in this step where the sony app tries to detect audio devices and microphone? (there a few people had to set up in Windows themselves)

I assume that you swapped bluetooth adapters between computers.
Or maybe you didn't dig into it too much, you just plugged it in and it works on one and not on the other.

A very interesting mystery, but the number of variables is growing :p2chell:

I just thought that the problem may not be hardware, but it may be a windows problem. What unpleasant puzzles windows could sometimes give me to solve.

This asrock board has an additional usb controller.
It would be good to make sure you have the latest bios.
And the latest motherboard drivers from the motherboard manufacturer's website. (And here is the problem again, Windows used to often not be able to properly install motherboard drivers if other drivers were already installed)

An incredibly interesting mystery, I wish I had it at home.

Beautiful motherboards, especially this asrok.
I don't even look at how much it costs :p2chell:

Connecting which with a LAN cable? The PC internet is connected to my modem via a RJ45 cable.

This is what happens with the 13900kf

It doesn't matter if it's a fresh windows installation or anything.

The motherboard it works on has onboard BT. Why would I connect a PCIe or USB BT adapter? The BT connects fine on both computers. BT isn't the issue.

I just thought that the problem may not be hardware, but it may be a windows problem. What unpleasant puzzles windows could sometimes give me to solve.
I think it's to do with the KF variant of the CPU not having onboard iGPU. I'm not going to swap CPUs over to try it though.

All drivers and BIOS were latest. I even purchased Driverbooster to make sure everything was up to date. It made zero difference.

The ASRock mobo was originally intended for a home recording studio set up - it has 22 USB ports and 5x NVME sockets, it was also the only mobo I could find which could run 128GB memory stable. I bought it on the CPU launch though so it's 18 - 24 months old now?

Weird.
Maybe the app doesn't have access to the internet.
If you have internet over lan, you can try to turn off the wifi card completely.
Maybe something is happening in network traffic that the application developers did not foresee.

Already several people here have insisted that their bluetooth works fine and the controllers are connected. And then it turned out that after the change the bluetooth started to work.
But I'm not saying it's your case.

No igpu, that would be very strange. A lot of processors don't have igpu, it's almost impossible for the adapter not to work when there is no igpu in the processor.
I think the problem when people turn on the disabled igpu is the remnants of the igpu driver.

Such a Driverbooster can sometimes mess up quite a bit when trying to optimize the system. You shouldn't do such things, especially if you do something unusual, such as playing vr games.

This motherboard looks like the source of the problems.
As you write, these additional controllers are almost certainly your source of problems.

If you want, you can look for a block diagram of the board and see which sockets are supported by which controller.
And everything related to sony first connect within one controller. And if that doesn't work, everything (psvr2+bt) within the second controller.

I think your problem can be solved, but it's not easy.

There is also an alternative way, you could buy a pcie card with usb 3.0 and usb 2.0, it would be better even if it was not some kind of novelty.
If I wanted to buy it, I would look for something recommended for vive full body tracking in vr.
But I also can't guarantee that this would solve the problem.

edit:
To be honest, if I wanted to run ps vr2 on this beautiful asrock board, I would start by buying the ASUS USB-BT500.
Although I would be mightily amazed if it turned out that this TP-LINK AX3000 PCIe wifi was the cause of the trouble.
The use of usb confirmed in operation by many. It's just a cheap and simple method, worth less than spending a lot of time.
But I wouldn't bet much on it. This block diagram appeals to me more.
