[PSVR] Stuck on "loading dots" screen? I found a solution.

So, I've been trying to make my PSVR work for a while now. SteamVR detects it, the VR View shows stuff, it's set on direct VR mode, yet my PSVR doesn't show didly squat. Why? I've searched a whole afternoon to find the answer.

Then it dawned on me: PSVR on a PS4 only works on a USB3.0 port (the blue ones). When I tried to play using a USB splitter addon, nothing worked.

So I unplugged whatever was on the USB3.0 port on my PC to plug my PSVR on it and voilà! I could see the light at last.

So if, like me, you did everything to the letter and yet your PSVR had nothing to show for it but cycling dots in it's lenses, try this. It worked for me.

PSVR is USB2.0, the camera is USB3.0. Seems like the issue was with the "splitter" (or port you were using), as the PSVR can be used with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port. Glad you got it working.

You know more than I do, but I did try it on every available USB2.0 port on my PC and nothing worked. That's when I plugged it on my USB3 that my headset finally showed some images. Otherwise, it was just stuck in loading mode.

Strange, must be something else going on. Not much value in dissecting that if you found something that works.
