HP's Reverb VR Pro Headset

Acording to HP, that shouldn't happen with new units:

Aparently is due to the cable not being well fixed to the HMD, that was the main reason of the Delay of the Reverb.

In my case, I have the second units, with the special plastic fixing the cable , but I have the same issue.

I don't like hearing that because I figure these newer units resolved this issue. Maybe you got an old model by accident? I would report it to HP and they should send you another.

When I had the first failure with the black screen, HP sent me a new glasses. So I have had the same failure with two diferent devices, and HP has ruled out that the failure is due to the device.

Hopefully they send a working third one to you now. I know a lot of people in this thread had the same issue. Seems like it was resolved with the new units.

I'm afraid not. HP has already closed the issue, so they no longer give me technical assistance.

Maybe try your reverb on a friends pc to see if it works.

Sounds like a USB power issue to me.

Keep calling and get another ticket open. You are entitled to get a working product if still under warranty. Another thing to try is install a USB 3.0 card in your PC that has at least one bus dedicated power delivery to the USB 3.0 ports.

I have an external USB card with its own power suply. I think the USB issue is a possible cause, but I have test many options and without possitive results.

They should be able to open another ticket for you without a problem. They understand how tricky it is sometimes to catch something broken long enough to troubleshoot it.

Is anyone with the reverb able to read the warning panel lights on the right side console in the F14?? No cheating methods just simply looking at the panel and maybe leaning in a bit.

 

 

 

and by read I mean actually read it and not simply recognize a word by the approximate lenght of the characters and its location.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS In regards to my previous post about DCS constantly fading to steam grid it was indeed caused by malwarebytes. I simply went to exclusions and excluded the DCS folder and its great again.

Thanks!

I can't read it!

This is what I got yesterday after calling HP a few days ago (faceplate has started peeling). Note I went to their workstation dept who deal with the business side.

 

Important – Return procedure

HP, in most cases, requires the return of the good and/or defective parts associated with your CSR event. HP encourages you to return the part within three days of receipt.

 

CSR = Customer Self Repair

 

I believe they are sending out a new headset, I will know on Monday! This is in the UK BTW

Am still on the fence on which HMD to get. At the moment being confused by all the forum info. It seems there are still a lot of issues with the reverb and not great QA. Is that a correct conclusion? Are there lots of people sending them back or is it only a few. Is the reverb smooth in DCS?

Will only use for DCS and have a high end system.

Any thoughts on the above?

Thanks

I have been waiting for the issues to get ironed out… They are selling them again on Amazon so I’m hopeful these are the new versions. Anyone know differently? Thought about Xtal, then thought about my wife murdering me… she doesn’t stare daggers at me when I tell her I’m purchasing the Reverb.

I'd say from what I've heard most of the issues have been ironed out, and HP support seems to be at least "OK" if you have any problems. I'd say based on what I've seen recently not too many people are sending em back at this point. Its always that sampling issue of you mainly hear about the "problems" in reviews, not the happy customers that aren't gonna bother writing one.

Performance wise if you have a high end system (1080 or above) it seems to work pretty well, the initial concerns about it being a system killer were largely overstated (including by me). Overall WMR seems to have better performance than the Occulus runtime IMO.

Anyhow, my .02.

I just got my HP Reverb a few weeks ago and I'm not having much issues with a 1080ti.

Matter of fact I'm having a blast. Only using it for DCS.

The only issue that bothers me is the flickering while waiting for missions to load.

I'm definitely not returning it.

Thanks

Probably because 90hz that's why I imagine it's flickering. As long as it isn't flickering in gameplay.

No its just the load screens. Occulus had similar wierd optical artifacts on load screens. It just seems to be a DCS feature. Its not a big deal, just annoying, its definitely not there during game play.

I think there is some setting where you can have the headset pop into the SteamVR starry sky/grid instead.

Whilst not very popular at this time with enthusiasts, I am still loving my Rift S. No tinkering, no faffing about and it works great every time.

Been using it daily since I got it around May 24th.

There's no real faffing about with the reverb either really. I set it up once and its worked well since.

Far more so than learning to fly a DCS aircraft :)

The only faff I had is having to edit a file to enable reprojection. Other than that it has been incredibly straightforward.

I didn't even do that :megalol:

I probably should though, I get a bit of ghosting here and there.

Thanks for the replies.

I am running a i9 9900k at 5ghz rad cooled / Gygabyte extreme 2080ti waterforce oc / 32gb 3600 ram / 2tb Samsung m.2 drive / rog motherboard

Should I get the reverb to run smoothly? Using CV1 at moment.
