Windows 10: BSOD Only When Using HTC Vive w/ Wireless Adapter and Steam VR

devinator · Aug 2, 2020

First, thanks to any who read this and attempt to help. Second, apologies if I didn't follow the instructions correctly, but I read the stickied thread and believe I did.

Now to my issue. I get the same BSOD error fairly consistently and only when using my HTC Vive with the wireless adapter. It runs through Steam VR. It did not occur prior to the addition of the wireless adapter. I finally wiped, reinstalled windows, and updated the bios, but it is still happening, so I would imagine it is hardware related. I don't want to get a replacement wireless adapter to find out it was another component that was the problem, as the wireless adapter is expensive. Unfortunately, I do not know anyone else who owns one which I could borrow for testing.

I am able to use the Vive wirelessly for several hours sometimes (typically after a fresh boot). If I use my computer heavily and then use the Vive without a fresh boot, that is when I tend to get the BSOD. However, even without a fresh boot, sometimes I can play for an hour or two before the BSOD occurs. And occasionally it will occur even with a fresh boot.

There are four dumps present from 06/21 to 08/02. 06/21 and 07/13 are what I'm used to seeing when I use Blue Screen Viewer to read them (ntoskrnl.exe). 07/15 and 08/02 are very similar, only they have an additional filename (usbccgp.sys) in addition to the original file (ntoskrnl.exe). I have looked at many of these dumps and have never seen this new file. I cannot be sure about 07/15, but today (08/02), I had my HOSAS setup trying to play a flight sim VR game. I can't think of anything else that could be different.

Again, much appreciation to any who read/investigate this, and any who attempt to help. If there are any questions, let me know.

Windows Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.959)

HTC Vive Pro Eye, NVIDIA RTX and ZeroLight Push State of the Art in VR VR-Holo

Whether you’re building a sleek virtual car buying experience or just want to unwind by taking a few swings of the bat, you’ll want to check out the new HTC Vive Pro Eye headset.Demonstrating VR’s enormous potential for professional applications and games, HTC VIVE is showing off the eye-tracking capabilities of their new headset powered by NVIDIA RTX GPUs at CES in Las Vegas at the Wynn hotel’s Alsace room.

Visitors to HTC’s booth can experience eye-tracking on the show floor for themselves with ZeroLight virtual auto showroom software and MLB Home Run Derby VR.

These demos not only make VR’s potential for creative professionals and gamers clear, it’s yet another demonstration of how NVIDIA GPUs are propelling VR forward.

Eye tracking combined with a technique called foveated rendering can be used to craft more lifelike VR experiences. The Vive Pro Eye takes advantage of foveated rendering through NVIDIA’s VRWorks Variable Rate Shading (VRS) to tailor the quality of a rendered image to where the user eyes are focused.

VRS is a new rendering feature of the NVIDIA RTX architecture, which applies more GPU shading horsepower to where it will have the most impact, while reducing horsepower to the rest of the image.

This allows for more efficient use of a GPU’s processing power: It no longer needs to render every part of the scene at the same rate.

ZeroLight, powered by a custom build of the Unity graphics engine, is the premier virtual environment for auto showrooms, used by automakers to help customers configure their cars and see the results in incredible detail.

ZeroLight has implemented NVIDIA VRS technology, combined with eye tracking on the new HTC Vive Pro Eye, to deliver higher image quality while maintaining performance. The result is a more immersive virtual experience.

The Vive Pro Eye will also feature a crisp 2880×1600 resolution, which gives it a pixel count that’s nearly 80 percent higher than the original Vive.

This increased resolution will make games look better than ever and create more immersive gameplay experiences.

Of course, a higher pixel density headset will require a powerful GPU to keep up with it. That’s why we recommend NVIDIA’s VR Ready RTX graphics cards for the best VR experience on Vive Pro Eye.

HTC VIVE Cosmos VR system available October 3 at $699

RmI8mLskRXs

HTC VIVE® today announced features and functionality of the new VIVE COSMOS including upcoming pricing and availability, and pre-order bonuses. Vive Cosmos is the latest premium PC-based virtual reality (VR) system created with a new level of accessibility and ease of use, designed to grow with users over time through a modular faceplate design that can change the functionality of the headset, such as the newly announced Vive Cosmos External Tracking Mod. Cosmos will launch globally on October 3 at $699 USD, with pre-orders starting September 12.

“Since Vive began our VR journey, we’ve continued to refine and improve on what a premium VR experience can and should be,” said Daniel O’Brien, GM, Americas, HTC Vive. “Cosmos offers an unmatched experience and is also our most versatile headset yet—with inside-out tracking, options in the future for different faceplates, unlimited content in the box, and the new user interface, we see limitless possibilities for XR customers.”

Technical Features

Vive Cosmos was built to adapt to the needs of VR customers with ease, versatility, and performance at the forefront. The all-new Vive tracking system offers a simplified setup that makes getting into VR faster and easier than ever before, with six camera sensors for wide and accurate inside-out tracking. Cosmos features a 2880 x 1700 combined pixel resolution—an 88% increase over the original Vive—delivering crystal-clear text and graphics. All-new LCD panels reduce the distance between pixels and combined with real RGB displays minimize screen-door effect.

A unique flip-up design allows users to jump between reality and virtual reality in seconds—all without disrupting VR journeys. Superior ergonomics and comfort allow for longer VR experiences and integrated on-ear headphones provide fully immersive sound. Cosmos also features completely redesigned controllers that maximize functionality within VR and offer extended comfort during long play sessions. Cosmos is also compatible with the Vive Wireless Adapter for those who want to enjoy moving in VR without being tethered.

First ‘Mod’ Announced

With a modular faceplate design, Vive Cosmos is the most versatile premium VR headset yet, designed with upcoming accessories to change the functionality of the headset and offer customers the ability for their headset to grow with them over time. The first official “mod”, announced today, is the Vive Cosmos External Tracking Mod for customers that want to continue to use their existing Lighthouse base stations for tracking scenarios, but also take advantage of the superior performance of Vive Cosmos. This first base station-compatible mod supports Vive’s ecosystem of peripherals including the Vive Tracker, delivering unprecedented input freedom for VR controls. This new mod will be available in Q1 of next year.

Included Content

Vive Cosmos is the VR headset that packs a powerful content punch right out of the gate with an included 12-month Viveport Infinity subscription during the pre-order period, saving you thousands of dollars. Every customer who pre-orders their Cosmos by October 2 will receive a 12-month Viveport Infinity redeem code in their box. Viveport Infinity gives unlimited access to hundreds of top-rated VR apps, games, and videos like A Fisherman’s Tale, Fujii, and Ninja Legends, as well as premium videos from top brands like GoPro, Discovery Channel, and Animal Planet. In tandem with the Vive Cosmos launch, Viveport Infinity will be adding new titles such as Doctor Who: The Edge of Time by Maze Theory, Playstack, and BBC; Eleven Eleven by Syfy; Battlewake by Survios; Gloomy Eyes by Atlas V and 3dar; Swords of Gargantua by Yomuneco and gumi; and MLB Home Run Derby VR by MLB.

Vive Reality System

Cosmos offers an out-of-box experience that is easy to set-up and launch into virtual worlds using the new Vive Reality System. Vive Cosmos is the first headset to offer the Vive Reality System, a reimagined core software experience for Vive. The Vive Reality System is an entirely new design philosophy for VR, offering an extension of life to make VR feel less like launching apps and more like stepping between worlds. Cosmos will feature a redesigned user interface called Lens to easily navigate XR and Viveport Infinity applications, and a new, dynamic home space called Origin. The Origin space is the launchpad for VR applications and interactive experiences that will grow over time.

Vive Cosmos will be available for pre-order online from HTC on vive.com as well as through select retailers Amazon.com, Best Buy Canada, B&H Photo, GameStop, Newegg.com, and Walmart.com. For more information, please visit: VIVE Cosmos - A new way of PC VR | VIVE™/
