Which HMD do you have ? A little more information would be quite nice since we all have no crystal ball

Do you get this Error ?

If yes, I can reproduce this Error on my Pc, therefore my Question
https://ibb.co/x88sdk3 (see here)

My Reverb G2 (in my Example) were found, but my HMD and the HoloLens Sensor is deactivated and offline. The only thing i have to do to fix this SteamVr failed initialization is to activate the Driver for my G2 (where I have disabled for the example to show you better ) . If i do this than all works fine

Therefore make sure your HMD is activated (not just shown as "offline" or deactivated in your Device Manager)

Check this (Kamera / Camera Settings in Windows)

(i know you dont understand German, but you know this Screen in your Windows Settings do you ?. The Text highlighted in yellow just means allow access to the camera and allow Apps to access the camera. Make sure it is checked.

You could also try following

Disconnect your HMD and USB from your Pc. Also disconnect the Cable from your HMD and put it in again (make sure that the cable is properly seated in the Slot. Then put in USB first into your PC, wait 5 seconds and put in your DP too.

In my Opinion it is just an Driver Issue with your HMD. A few tips (Example) I have told you now to fix it. Good Luck and give a Response if you fixed it.

you kidding or ? You buy a HMD and you do not know how it called ? Somehow I have the feeling that you don't want to solve your problem (if you have one). And I also do not have the time and desire to pull everything out of your nose. Good luck, I'm out of here

Are you starting the game from within SteamVR, or are you trying to launch it from the desktop library with SteamVR closed?

[Birb]

with steam vr closed

[Mio Rin]

Then it may be timing out while waiting for the headset to start up and be ready. Try starting the game from within SteamVR with everything up and ready to go.

I use a valve index so not sure this would fix your problem, but I had a similar issue after a power surge. I had to unplug the power cord portion of the cable and plug it back in to fix it.
