Error on run new game

PimaxVR Software PE Bug Reporting
1

Hello At All,
for some time now a strange thing has happened to me. When I quit a SteamVR game and then quit steamVRHOME and try to run a new game from PE, sometimes I get the message “VRInitError_IPC_CompositorConnectFailed: “Shared IPC Compositor Connect Failed (306)””. After that reboot is required, Can anyone help me?

Interesting. I may need to shorten the delay for SteamVR games before PE quits and game starts. Had the same problem with Oculus games and that’s why I had to set the delay to much shorter when launching these (PE quits much earlier when starting Oculus game than when launching a SteamVR game).

I will shorten the delay to 0.5 sec later today in the 0.37 version

Hello @SweViver ,

Is this also happening first time you start a game after reboot, or just when starting second/third/later time?

Perhaps to solve this, it might be useful to look for process id, instead of using a delay. This is just a thought based on the short info on the issue, since I don’t have the PE source. @SweViver

Only on second third later time.

Yeah that could be a solution, thanks Armin. But the delay I removed might help as PVRHOME uses the same render pipeline as Oculus games when launching with OVRLauncher, so if PVRHOME didn’t close fast enough it blocked the Oculus game from starting.
And SteamVR games can have a similar issue.

But as for @technoprojects problem, I dont know how this happens, as I cant reproduce that issue. Yesterday I tried launching 6 (edit: Steam) games one after another and they all worked fine, so I somehow suspect theres an error in the log that prevents the game to start @technoproject.

Edit: sorry im a bit tired today and mixed up two threads here hehe
