Windows 10: HP Reverb G2 v2 that flickers and randomly loses tracking

Hi folks! I have a HP Reverb G2 v2 that flickers and randomly loses tracking in WMR and the MSFS 2020 sim. I have updates Win 10, all drivers, unplugged, replugged cables. Some folk in forums suggested resetting boundries, but that doesn't work. The "Center" button alternates between lit and greyed out. When "Trace button is pressed, a red button comes on and won't trace. Please help, VR is not working for me. Windows 10, intel i7 10700K, 3.8Ghz, 8 core, 16MW 125W, 64GB RAM, Nvidia Geoforce RTX 2080 Super 8GB, Hard Drive 1TB

HP Reverb G2's Cameras Seem to Be Misoriented?

Hello Lennon. I'm Greg, here to help you with this.

It's a hardware issue or HP's software that would control it.

I would contact HP Support under warranty to either fix or replace it:

I would also simultaneously post this in the HP forums to get guided help from the engineers and enthusiasts there who are more brand-focused than here in a general WIndows forum:

Some resources I found for G2 Reverb Setup and related issues that might help:

HP Reverb G2 shaking

Hi AG_86_n,

Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.



It sounds like you are currently having problems with picture shows on HP Reverb G2 shaking after upgrading to Windows 11. Sorry for the inconvenience.



These failures during use may be caused by the incompatibility of device drivers with Windows 11. However, after searching, it seems that there is no driver for Windows 11 to install on your device, it is recommended that you contact HP, but you also can try to download and install it again to see if the problem can be solved.

WMR HP Reverb G2 with Hybrid Graphics System

This is concerning WMR with the HP Reverb G2.

For anyone who is familiar with this situation:

I have tested the HMD with an MSI laptop equipped with i9/RTX 3070/32 gig using the Thunderbolt 4 port and a USB -C to DisplayPort adapter.

The right eye lens is displaying correctly however the left eye lens is scrambled with black and white vertical lines.

The Thunderbolt 4 port on this machine is *not* wired directly to the Nvidia GPU, but to the iGPU. MSI reports that the hybrid system will offload to the dGPU and receive complete frames at the Intel iGPU end. but it is still an Intel UHD GPU at the DisplayPort end.

Microsoft seems to imply that hybrid graphics as well as the Surface products are supported in the minimum required specs: Windows Mixed Reality PC compatibility guidelines - Enthusiast Guide | Microsoft Docs.

The system also has an HDMI 2.1 port directly wired directly to the RTX 3070. I've also attempted to make use of this connection with an active HDMI 2.0 -> DP adapter, however the WMR portal reports that the cable is not connected in this case.

Interesting, I tested an Oculus Rift S on the HDMI -> DP adapter and it worked as expected. Conversely, if attempting to use the Rift S with the Thunderbolt port, it will not turn on at all, whereas the HP reverb G2 displays one eye lens correctly, but the other is scrambled.

Appreciate anyone's advice who is familiar with WMR and if this is a driver/software issue or moreso a hardware issue that cannot be overcome with the hybrid graphics config or use of an HDM adapter.

Thanks much,

A
