I was wondering if anyone else in the group experienced the issue I am having- I hadn't used my Rift (launch model not the S) in a few months- when I turned it on recently the controllers didn't work, I assumed it was the batteries, changed the batteries and still didn't work, nor were they being see in the devices menu on the screen. I unpaired them, and am now trying to pair them again, the light illuminates on the controller during the pairing screen, but the setup screen never finds the controller- just keeps searching- any help would be appreciated..thanks ANDY
I have seen a couple of reports of this (I think this is the third I remember), people not using Touch for a long time are finding they aren't working even with battery swaps. No idea what is causing it.
Before reinstalling the software, give this a try:
Open task manager, go to the services tab, and shut down OVRService.
Delete the C:\Users\kojack\AppData\Local\Oculus\DeviceCache.json file (replace kojack with your user name).
Restart the OVRService in task manager.
Devicecache.json stores details of all devices (headsets, controllers, sensors, etc). If you delete it, you'll need to do the full rift device setup again (add headset, pair controllers, guardian, etc).
