i have an problem where i have to do room setup for both pitool and steamVR every single time restat pi tool or the pitool service…
and i can’t figure out why?
i’m running pitool V1.0.2.087 V2 and Experince v0.84 with an 8KX but have experienced this problem with previous versions of pitool. but not as frequent as now.
provirus i used an 5K+ on the same system and installation.
Pitool are running with admin rigth’s
i have tried to delete all files in the lighthouse folder and restart the service… but it do still not store the setup.
as long ar pitool are running steam VR seem to remeber it’s setup… but when ip service are restated it acts like it’s newly installed or it’s a brand ned HMD.
its the same if the pc are rebooted (ofc. as this will naturly reboot pi service also)
the next thing i have on my list are to try to make an clean install of windows and stat from there.
You haven’t made Your SteamVR config read-only, have You?
I’m only asking because some seem to think it’s a great idea to prevent SteamVR from updating the config (the GPUhorsepower values or whatever they’re called)…
The strange thing are that both steamVR and the Pitool setup seem to reset… or at least the Pitool setup guide starts each time pitool start and then Steam VR are messed up too.
I have tried to simply skip the Pitool guide… but do not change any thing
No i have not, and have double cheeked. And the strange thing are that Steam VR can remeber the setup and restart… but if i restart pitool or just the service it seem to reinitilize the room setup for both iptool and steamVR and both are messed up also if i skip the setup in piTool…
so i have to do this setup every day as i turn the PC off when i sleep to save power… i’m getting a bit tired of it by now…
That’s really weird. I think I would contact support unless someone comes up with a suggestion here soon…
You might have found an otherwise unseen bug in PiTool?
PiTool should, as far as I remember, just import the settings from SteamVR if they’re gone (that’s why You can just delete the lighthouse folder), so it seems that’s the part that’s broken for You?
If you delete these two files, possibly run PiTool or SteamVR in administrator mode, the settings might be saved persistently…
Then again, this all seems rather strange, and should not be happening, unless maybe you are trying to do VR with an unprivileged (non-Administrator maybe?) user account…
and SteamVR are messed up again. (floor level are above my head until i recalibrate).
Then i did think it migth be that i had paused update of steamVR or are running a beta that i did forget about… but no. that was not the problem either.
i Will Plan to Reinstall my entire PC tomorrow… this must solve the problem… or make many more
Now that is a bit more interesting. You are prompted every time to run room setup?
This could be happening because the headset is positioned close to the boundaries of your room when SteamVR starts. That happens to me when my headsets are on a wall mount.
It are installed directly on the MB as it also was when it worked… so i don’t thik this are the problem.
Yes exactly.
You migth be on to some thing, as my HDM are on my desktop when i start PiTool, did the same thing in my old apartment witout any problem… but the sensor mounting position are a bit diffrend in my new room…
unfortanly we did not fin out what excatly the problem was.
i ended up reinstalling windows, Pitool and Steam Vr from scratch (did even delete all steam foulders except \Steam\steamapps\common but did delete steamVR sub directory under common.
After this i do no longer see the problem… so hopfully my VR gaming time cannow be used for VR gamin instead of troubleshooting
