VR black screen no image

[highlander103]

hi guys

new problem …after no “open xr file” suddenly the headset turned black.
the headset is on, (white light) but no image at all.

everything is well connected, but I can´t do the rest of the configuration because there´s no image, only a black screen

any ideas? I´ve followed the oculus “solutions” to try to solve the problem, but until now…no luck

I have the oculus rift s

many thanks and… merry christmas

Why no just create the needed entry?

Have you installed the openxr dev tools?

[highlander103]

thanks, but the problem now is worst…as you can see above

[Beginner314]

well what Headset do you got?

Checkout VR won’t launch (the print screens are for Oculus), but the procedure is the same for other headsets, check the post in that thread from CAP537268 for the files/paths of other headsets

I have the oculus rift s

ok, many thanks

I´m gonna try

[highlander103]

ok, half of the problem is solved…the OPEN XR" file

and now I have VR mode in my msfs 2020

but the major problem continues… no image in the headset

my version:

and everything works…but I have a black screen in the headset

Did you manually create the registry entry or was it already there and you jut had to edit the path?

Your registry entry is wrong… should be of type “reg_sz” not “reg_expand_sz”.

[highlander103]

done, manually

[Beginner314]

hmm the entry has to be under “1”.

See VR won’t launch

If you don’t have the entry you may need to install “OpenXr for Windows Mixed Reality” from the Windows Store:

and you may also want the “OpenXR Developer Tools for Windows Mixed Reality” to fine tune performance:

So better delete you manual entry, download the “OpenXR for WMR”, this should create the entry in the registry at the correct location. Then you just need to edit the path to the Oculus Runtime.

hey Beginner314 thanks for your help

and now?

I manually done the path, because the OPENXR FOR WMR send me to a diferent path in c: system32, but i have the oculus app installed in a diferent drive, in this case drive E.

in the simulator seems like everything is working fine with VR now, but the major problem persists, i still don´t have images in the headset

Beginner314,
You are brilliant. I have spent hours trying everything to get my Oculus to work and after checking your post I realised why mine wasn’t working.
Thank you for taking the time to post.

[Beginner314]

You mix things up.

You will need to install “openvr for wmr”. This will create the the regedit entry with a path like c:\windows\system… and the open vr dev tool wlill show the same path.

That path is wrong, that’s why you need to change the path in the registry to the oculus runtime (E:\Oculus…\Support\oculus-runtime…64.json or whatever the path is for the oculus openvr runtime on your system).

But you need the “openvr for wmr” app installed!
Just creating manually the registry entry with the path to the openvr runtime without having openvr installed, does not help.

hI

I have open vr for wmr installed.
and…suddenly today everything is working!! just like that
now I have vr in the simulator and in the oculus app.
seems like a game that I bought to my daughter is causing these black screens. It was uninstalled from the oculus library and everything is working ok now, just like magic

many thanks for your help Beginner314
