If you could attach a screenshot of what you're seeing in the Applications part of SteamVR, @kerminater, it'd help. I'm a little confused by your phrasing.   I understand Vive is missing from the SteamVR menu within VR, but the main way that would happen is if it's disabled. Just trying to figure that out. Thanks in advance! ... View more

Hey @IndyJay78, @BDS answered some of this for me. The link box is included in the, erm, box along with the earbuds.   Myself I'm using some 'over the ears' headphones for my Vive, but then that's also what I use for gaming. You don't generally need to worry about a gaming specific headset that might include a mic, although you could go for that (the Vive has a built-in mic for apps that support it).   I'd say just in terms of moving stuff around earbuds might be preferable, as in theory you can leave them plugged in, but you can set up your PC (via SteamVR) to switch audio channels when you plug/unplug headphones into the 3.5mm jack. ...

There are indeed so many cards, @Bighouse - I'd agree with @SaxOps1, go to pcpartpicker.com to make a 'build' and you'll be able to see if your chosen card is compatible. Lots of user reviews there. Also TomsHardware.com is great for really in-depth reviews.   In the end though you can't go wrong with a card from one of the 'big' names. It's mostly a question of price and some specific features you might want to have. Hope you are happy with whatever you pick up! ... View more

Hey everyone, @DeltaOptix and @davecurry in particular - can you update me on whether you're still seeing this? We should have rolled out the update by now. (You may need to restart your PC, or at very least the Vive desktop client, to get the update.) ... View more

It also says that downloading it will take a ridiculous amount of time, like 278 minutes, when I have no issues downloading games from Steam. Hey @soozical, thanks for the report and the screen, which always helps.   The timing thing is a known bug which we're looking into. It's accurate more often than not, but it can go a little wonky. Generally I find Viveport downloads about the same speed as Steam, but our timing does need some work.   The 'internal error' message isn't too clear, I agree. As @BetaKillers said it may have something to do with a paused download because of the PC going to sleep; can you confirm if that's the case? Either way I'll escalate to our engineers. ... View more
