Usually it is more like several black screens because of deconnections of the headset followed by automatic reconnections (that comes more from usb management issues fixed by the new headset cable and by the firware upgrade from hp). There is no freezing of the game but sometimes after several black screen in the same game, the mfs application crashes so back to the desktop.
Anyway, this morning, i received the new cable and I can tell younthat it makes a huge difference !
- First, the firmware update from hp worked with the new cable (whereas it was not working with the cable Rev1) → by the way Hp told me that the firware update was not working for AMD system, that’s not true ! I’m running with an AMD system and the update has been correctly installed with the new cable.
- Secondly, i’ve tried several flights since this morning and i could play without anymore issue. No blackscreen, no connection/deconnection of other devices, no application crash and no more sound issues !
So again I highly recommend to all of you that are facing issues with there hp reverb g2 to :
1 - Change their cable for the new version
2 - Apply the latest firmware update from hp : HP Reverb G2 Virtual Reality Headset Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Customer Support
