For the time being I have to say goodbye to my Rift. All of a sudden it is not working anymore. So I use the almost dead HP Reverb G2. Downgraded to Windows 10 to have a good performance. Perhaps I can score in future another Rift. So keep this thread up in the meantime! See ya!
real01.2022 have you tried rolling your GPU drivers back, as the latest Nvidia driver is killing headsets. Which make a change from meta updates killing headsets.
This is a pure hardware-issue I am afraid. To be honest I had never issues with GPU drivers..just make sure after you download to get rid off the older version with Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to avoid issues. I must say that Microsoft and Meta are working good together and I was also very pleased after a pause the Rift got again support. Within W11 the Rift was full supported and the Reverb G2 absolutely not. Sturmovik was a drama....but in Windows 10......it is like at the movies. So good news indeed for all the Rift CV1 owners. And I am looking for another Rift CV1 in the meantime. For now after 11-2025 support ends of Windows 10 but perhaps I will pay for the extended support offered then. We will see! For you all.......enjoy your epic Rift!
If you got a new RTX Series 50 card, do try the NVIDIA: 566.14 WHQL instead of 572.16 - if the CV1 is not working with 572.16. 566.14 was the driver used by Techpowerup when testing the RTX 5090. Such drivers provided at flagship launch often has great quality - because when used by the press and reviewers, serious errors could be very bad for Nvidia 😉
Personally I never update gpu drivers unless I really have to - now you know why 🙂 If it works do not fix it...
