SteamVR Crashing on launch

[SASniper]

As soon as SteamVR connects to Core it crashes, the core remains running and reports a client disconnect, I'm unsure if I can fig further into the reasons via further debug so any help is appreciated.

All SteamVR version's listed under the Steam - Beta tab have this issue except for version V1445878235 which at least allows the HMD Window to be auto launched but no further success can be had at my end.

Core Version: OSVR-Core-Snapshot-v0.6-413-g87c30a2-build199-vs12-64bit
OSVR Plugin Version: SteamVR-OSVR-Win-Build-v0.1-4-ge2e4fc2-core-v0.6-413-g87c30a2
HDK: 1.3

It seems the following Pull Request could effect this issue: #16

[rpavlik]

Merged #16 - a new build should be done and up soon. Can you re-test when that's up?

I am still experiencing this with the latest build. VR Server crashes on launch and SteamVR gives me error code 301.

Core Version: OSVR-Core-Snapshot-v0.6-619-g5ac4700-build214-vs12-64bit
OSVR Plugin Version: SteamVR-OSVR-Win-Build-v0.1-15-g0886035-core-v0.6-619-g5ac4700
HDK: 1.3
SteamVR BuildID: 888763 (non-beta)

Here's the SteamVR vrserver log file. It says "Skipping osvr. because it is not an HMD", I don't know if it's related but it's clearly not normal.

Hey guys,

I've updated to the latest versions:

Core Version: OSVR-Core-Snapshot-v0.6-628-g9bcdeab-build215-vs12-64bit
OSVR Plugin Version: SteamVR-OSVR-Win-Build-v0.1-15-g0886035-core-v0.6-628-g9bcdeab
SteamVR Version: 1449513123 (non-beta)

I am unfortunately still encountering the same issue as before. VRServer.exe crashes when launching SteamVR.

VRServer.txt Log

I'm still looking into this, but here are my notes so far:

Running with breakpoints in all plugin functions/methods. Results:

Call order is:

• HmdDriverFactory function is called. Passes control through to TrackedDeviceDriverFactory. interface_name is IServerTrackedDeviceProvider_001.
• ServerDriver_OSVR::Init is called. The client context is created successfully. An OSVRTrackedDevice is created and added to the _trackedDevices list.
• ServerDriver_OSVR::GetTrackedDeviceCount is called, twice. Both times returning 1.
• ServerDriver_OSVR::GetTrackedDeviceDriver is called with index 0. The OSVR_TrackedDevice created in Init is returned.
• OSVRTrackedDevice::GetModelNumber is called. "OSVR HMD" is returned.
• On the log, I now see "Skipping osvr. because it is not an HMD". I'm not sure how it knows that, since it hasn't called any other methods on OSVRTrackedDevice aside from GetModelNumber. More specifically, it hasn't called OSVRTrackedDevice::GetTrackedDeviceDriverInfo which would tell it that the device is an HMD.
• ServerDriver_OSVR::GetTrackedDeviceCount is called again. Returns 1.
• Crash in vrserver.exe, outside of our DLL.

Am I thinking this is a steamVR issue still right? I can't get it to run anything on my end. If I go to a really old beta of SteamVR is half ass works.

I was reading the SteamVR boards as well and some people seem to be having a similar issue with DK2's.

[JeroMiya]

It was broken in v1449513123. v1448479831 "works" for me in that it doesn't crash and there seems to be some head tracking going on in the HMD window that pops up. I've never been able to get it working in an actual game yet.

I just saw this post on SteamVR, but have been at work and unable to try it, has anyone else given it a look?

-Orginal SteamVR Post-

That was a good idea Girdus!

When I tried to run "Steam\steamapps\common\OpenVR\bin\win32\vrserver.exe", it told me that it couldn't find "steam_api.dll". I copied "steam_api.dll" from "Steam\steamapps\common\OpenVR\tools\bin\win32" to "Steam\steamapps\common\OpenVR\bin\win32", which made it possible for me to start "vrserver.exe" without errors.

After starting vrserver.exe manually, I could run the SteamVR application from the steam games library. The SteamVR application now guided me through setting up the headset, which worked for the Oculus Rift.

The issue seemed to be solved in the latest builds of both this plugin and SteamVR. To make it work the HDK must be set as an extended display in the OS settings and sit to the right of the main display (top pixels aligned).

Mine still crashes-SteamVR 301 error. I have tried al types of fixes with no joy. Lastest Core and Steam2OSVR drivers

[toxicFork]

@thomasgauthier you can also modify the config json to overwrite the position settings e.g. My OSVR display is on the left so I use

"renderManagerConfig": {
        "window": {
            "xPosition": 0,
            "yPosition": 0
        },
    }

We've just released an updated SteamVR-OSVR driver that should work with the current release of SteamVR. Please give it a try and report back if you encounter any problems.
