i do a lot of simracing in my free time and recently {a few months ago} an update came out that caused constant crashing on my hp reverb g2 v1 where it would lose tracking every so often { after 10 minutes of gameplay- every minute or 2 for 30 seconds each} before subsequently crashing after another 5 minutes or so. this has been very annoying as it has caused my in game performance rankings in certain games to tank as i cannot play for a consistent period of time. i am using an amd rx 9060xt 16gb before anyone asks. if anyone else has experienced this issue, i would really like to see how consistent it is. if this could be fixed, it would mean the world to me

hi guys. I'm planning to purchase a RX 9070 XT 16GB to play VR (basically flight and racing games). Read on several places that the experience with OASIS and AMD has been a though ride, specially mentioning stutters, but most of the time these posts are old (2025).
Recently I saw here that a newer AMD driver caused pink screen, but reverting solved the problem.
So I ask if someone with this card can please post what is the actual experience about this combo 9070XT + OASIS + Reverb G2 (or in general, AMD + OASIS) nowadays? Are the stutters still present?
Actually, I use an old RTX 2080, but I have to do all sorts of compromises to achieve steady 45 fps on titles. I have Win11 latest with 7800x3d, so AMD gfx is a better combo, hence the question.
Cheers.

My PD is about 62 but when i bought spherical prescription lenses I had them send them as 60. I thought it wouldn't matter for VR since you can just adjust the number to move the lenses around inside of the headset until it feels right.

But does it matter? I am not an optician.

I have a HP Reverb G2 I got a few years ago to play Halflife Alex. Decided to plug it back in only to learn win11 doesn't support it. Installed the Oasis Driver and after a LOT of drama, got it to unlock the headset. Now when I run Oasis Launcher it runs steamVR which states: Some Add-ons blocked." Blocked are:

Prism | Oasis | Gamepad Support

- I have unblocked the addons in the SteamVR Settings

- I have added "-safeoutpout" to the Launch Options on the SteamVR settings

- I have edited the steamvr.settings file for these blocks from true -> false (and even erased the file).

Nothing seems to matter, I reboot steam and get the same error message and these three addons blocked. Any suggestions or ideas?

Is there another program or app I can use just to confirm the headset is still working at all?

Thanks in advance

Just a thought. Do people use dual Windows boot to keep Windows 10 as an option for the headset?

Always worried this would happen to me...

The left slider piece that holds the headstrap on the Reverb G2 broke into two pieces.

I fixed it. Now it is much more durable than before. Fused them together with heat. Then joined them using MMA liquid monomer and PMMA powder polymer. After a little trimming and polishing, it’ll actually look pretty good.

Sorry for the blurry shot.

I used my headset 4 days ago and everything was working flawless, that day i stored my cable away just like how i do every time i finish using it.

Yesterday i decided to use it again and boom, it says my USB cable isnt working anymore.

I tried everything. Reinstalled MRP / Reinstalled all USB drivers / Made sure my cable was firmly in place etc. But got no result.

I would have gave up only if the cable looked dead, yet it doesnt look dead at all.

The cable lights up when i plug in power, headset and drivers are recognized in the PC, sound comes from headset when i choose the output. Everything works but it still tells me to check my cable.

I bought another full set of G2 with a broken cable for 10$ and tested that too, still the same issue so i am sure its not my headset.

I ordered a V2 cable for nearly the same price i got my G2 and i hope that fixes everything but now i got one more G2 that requires a working cable. Is there any way i can try to fix this V1 cable and is it actually broken?

Hello folks, I bought a very little used Reverb G2 headset in great condition. Everything usually works fine however the right controller at times and with different games loses tracking and only the buttons remain working. The "hand" in the screen view just remains still and doesn't even rotate until I have to power cycle it to get it working again but it repeats shortly after. The left controller works perfect no such issue, ironically the left controller has low battery and the right one is still decent level according to the battery indicator in the taskbar. I turned off LEDs in my room it didn't matter. There is no visible sign of damage/trauma to the controller it's in perfect condition like the other one. Am I just unlucky with a faulty controller or any other test I can do to figure it out? I could swap out batteries but anything else I can do? Thanks.

So recently my G2V2 has started the left then right display black screen issue.
Top left of the device can feel quite warm/hot. So I’m wondering, does anyone have experience with this and what the best solution is?
Last time I used it I got about an hour of use before it started happening.

Should I go for it? Are there better alternatives?

Found a good deal on a used Reverb G2, full kit. I've never had VR before.
My PC specs:

GPU: 1070 Ti
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x
16GB RAM

I realize the GPU is technically under what it recommends, but I figure it's close enough to a 1080 to still be okay. Primarily intending to use it for VRChat and perhaps a few other games like Beat Saber or something. Don't really have my eye on many VR games tbh

Our company recently switched over all of our customers to the Meta Quest 3, and now in my possession I have somewhere around 200 HP Reverb G2 units. I was curious if anyone here had any suggestions on what to do with them beside just throwing them out. 90% of them have the v2 cable and function fine. Picture shows a very small amount of the headsets I have around the office. We do also bundle the cable with a long USB cable that went to a Leap Motion that we had attached to the front of the headsets. For removal, I'll likely unbundle the cables and clean the adhesives from the Leap mounts off the front. I also have a very large box of controllers, but there's no good way to know which controllers are for which headset. Was just curious if y'all would just throw them away, recycle them, or if anyone knows of a place to wholesale the lot.

Edit: Hello everyone! I'm glad to hear that you all think there is still value here. Yes, this is in the USA for those who asked. I'm currently confirming with my powers at be (boss at work) to decide what route we'll take, but it seems as though Ebay is the best. If cables and headsets are posted in the near future, I'll update this post with a confirmation (not the link as I don't want to upset the mods). Thank you all! These units are used so we have to discuss pricing.

Edit: well HP/Honda... what can I say. Wrong sub my friends. Apologies and hope you had a laugh! I got a call from the Honda dealership where I purchased my 2019 Ridgeline several years ago. They made mention of the fact that Honda was temporarily halting production, which meant that they had special deals on 2026 Ridgelines. My question, is anyone else receiving similar calls? Is it just a sales tactic or would there really be incentive for dealers to unload 2026 stock at this point?

amd users , check if works for your headset

Got a pristine looking unit still in its box for a good price, but I can't seem to get any power to the headset at all. The little light on the box just won't come on. Is this a sign of the broken v1 cable everyone talks about, or should I try to find another power brick first?

HP Reverb G2

Oasis driver

Suddenly looks like this in Steam VR... Red and black lines move with the headset.

Anyone else seen this? Suggestions?

After years of use, my Reverb suddenly started acting up. The left lens is entirely black as if its not receiving any power, and the right lens will flash to life every 15-20 seconds ago and then immediately shut off again. The headset is still able to power on and track properly, but I literally cannot see. Am I screwed, or is there anything I can try to fix this?

Hi, I recently got a used hp reverb g2 for a cheap price and ipd slider seems to be broken. It only moves from max ipd to the middle and than just stops and doesn't let it move closer together. Are there any known fixes for this?

​

The gasket on my beloved G2V2 is getting tatty and the padding is coming away from the frame.
I purchased a third party version from China, but it isn’t the V2 slim version.
Anyone have an idea where to source a V2 face gasket replacement?

Thanks in advance.

I recently replaced one of the screens in my Reverb G2 and now the screens aren't coming on. The headset is tracking and the sound is working but no visuals. Anything I can try before tearing it all the way down again? Or maybe a place I can send it as I'm not ever sure what I'd be looking for if I took it apart again.

To start of I know about the neccesary headroom that is required to have a smooth signal.

The HMD was working fine for a long time. Even on my 2080ti. It is now on a 4080 so the GPU should not be the issue.

The thing is that it works fine on another pc by directly plugging it into the USB-C.

This confuses me as I dont think it is the cable. It might be that something went bad on the type C connection between cable and motherboard. But even with an adapter in another USB 3 port does it behave like this.

The main symptom is that the screen inside would turn blue for a few seconds then it drifts in random directions and recalibrates. It does feel like it happens when my head is at certain angles which seems like a prime connection at the HMD it self. The cable worked fine as mentioned before for a long time.

I dont think it is the drivers as my Samsung O+ still works flawless. They both instantly find the center reference point when calibrating for VR launch environment.

At this point i am very confused as I can't pinpoint the problem between software and the cable or its ports. Because at one stage it kept telling me it needs to be plugged into a high speed USB 3 port while it was and working well before.

Reverb G2 v1 cable

Apart from buying a new cable can someone recommend something I might not have not tried yet?

Edit: so the culprit was the connection between the cable and HMD as you constantly take the HMD on and off. I test a lot of VR games and 2D to VR from Geo11 and HelixMod on a weekly basis. So the cable needs to take a lot of wear and tear around the pivot mechanics. The temporary solution would be to move the cable as far away from the head strap movement to have the least amount of tension around the cable terminals. A̶l̶s̶o̶ g̶i̶v̶e̶ i̶t̶ s̶o̶m̶e̶ r̶o̶o̶m̶ t̶o̶ m̶o̶v̶e̶. Not so sure about this anymore. It comes down to the less the cable bends and moves the better it would be.

Edit2: I can also add another thing I found out which is pretty strange which would explain why the HP logo doesn't come on but immediately after connecting it to a different PC. If the 4-1 appears and the HP logo on the front of device doesn't come on it helped to unplug the power cable coming from the wall socket out of the small power supply that gives power to the cable box. Basically the first connection after the wall socket. Could reproduce this issue twice already. After this the HMD did not drift or lose orientation after a short period of testing. It appeared very stable. So primary issue I can ascertain with certainty in all this testing was rather a power issue somewhere.

One suspicion so far is that there might be some static interference in the small power supply or somewhere else. But doesn't make sense that this had to happen after such a long time of using the device. If it is static electricity building up then it would need to be discharged periodically. This is just a hunch. TAKE CAUTION if this is the case then simply UNPLUG the small power supply and touch the terminals to a nail in the wall

A far fetched idea could be that the cable rubbing against the the chair could cause static build up. It might have been a coincidence but after the cable made contact with the chair's synthetic leather it "blued" out for a few seconds. Another really far fetched idea could be that the frequency of the electricity is not stable in the area.

KNOW ISSUES
Purple screen may be displayed when using an HP Reverb G2 headset with SteamVR on Radeon™ RX 6000 series graphics products.

anyone manage to get subnautica 2 to run in VR? - i'm running UEVR (nightly) per the youtube videos + the profile etc.... it comes up fine in SteamVR / Oaisis but not full screen etc..

Sometimes I'll be in the middle of a game, and for some reason the headset locks up. BUT the game is still running fine on my main monitor, in spectator mode or whatever it's called. It reminds me of two-monitor setups, where you just have to tell the program which monitor to display on. Is there a way to do that? Click on the program on the monitor and tell it to jump back over to the headset? All that works now is restarting my computer. Urgh!
