356thFS_Piranha Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 Purchased a HP reverb but can't get it to work. I have a Odyessey plus now and it works flawlessly but I wanted better resolution. Hooked up the Reverb and almost got through the set up in WMR when the screen flickers, then switch from one to another, then go completely dark. HP has sent me a new cable and then a new headset but it made no difference. HP is now sending me another cable but I doubt that will help. I have an i7 9700k and 32gb 3400 ram with a 1080ti. Any thought or suggestions? Thanks 1
Voyager Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 I ran into this setup guide for a different flight sim a while back. I haven't gotten the Reverb yet myself, but he does walk though a lot of detail in setting it up for that sim. It might be helpful here, assuming it is a setup issue rather than a hardware issue: https://vr4dcs.com/2019/09/10/reverb-settings-for-dcs/
-332FG-Gordon200 Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 @QB.Piranha Uninstall WMR by going to Windows Settings>Mixed Reality and click on the Uninstall tab. Disconnect your headset from the PC and run the uninstall. Also check the list of apps and remove Samsung Odyssey Set up. Your computer will reboot at which time you plug in the Reverb and go through the WMR set up. Now go back to Windows Settings>Mixed Reality and click on the Headset Display tab. Select Visual performance level (recommend High), Resolution (recommend quality) and adjust for your IPD. When you then launch IL2 SteamVR will pick up on the new device and adjust your in-game fps accordingly.
356thFS_Piranha Posted October 20, 2019 Author Posted October 20, 2019 Thanks all, I've done everything including a clean install of windows and it still behaves the same way. I''ll be trying a friends 1080ti on my machine and see if my 1080ti is failing. As i said my samsung odyssey plus works well so I did'nt suspect the GPU but it uses a HDMI where the Reverb uses Display port. The Revereb worked on his machine.
356thFS_Piranha Posted October 21, 2019 Author Posted October 21, 2019 Well, The problem is with the GPU. Tried friends 1080 ti and had no problem. Just so others know, my Odyssey Plus worked just fine but it uses HDMI, so it must be the extra band width required for the Reverb through the display port. Tried all three display ports on the original 1080 ti with the Reverb no luck. The odd thing is is that my monitors work in all three display Ports. Purchasing a new 2080 ti. You can get one cheaper than a 1080 ti now which is weird. They are all overpriced again. Thanks for your replies.
