Anonymous

Got a fix for black screen! Just put the Rift in Display Port 1 of your graphic card! There it is working since an hour, no problems! On DP 1 or 2 it wasnt working, strange. (Newest nvidea driver, older Win 10 Version) Hope that will help you guys..

what port is DP1? On my Card there is noch 1 and 2 😄
But yes I changed disply and Rift and this worked one time, today no luck with this fix.

I can't see why switching DP port would fix this problem unless you have a faulty graphics card.

It's maybe just like a unplug/plug in again with some luck on your side. with "hundrets" of this I get mine to work 3-4 times. This can't be good for the display by the way.

Yeah when I completely unplugged everything including the headset connector, mine worked for several times and thought it was fixed only to be denied shortly later.

EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3 Ultra.
EVGA Z390 Dark MB.

Think I may have solved the issue. After investigating found I had the headset USB plugged into an AsMedia 3.1 Gen2 port. I moved it to an Intel USB 3.1 Gen 1 port this afternoon.
So far so good, been working all afternoon closing Home and re-opening it.
Keeping fingers crossed that this too is not just an anomaly!
