Unfortunately, this also did not appear to have any effect on the problem at hand. I performed a 'clean install' of the 466.27 driver, as you suggested. I've checked that the video cable is securely connected into its socket. It could be a problem with the hardware of the Cosmos itself but if it is, it's not clear what I should do about that.

It's probably not a problem with the software or hardware on my PC, because it behaves exactly the same way on my other VR PC (which is a very different brand and model of PC). The Cosmos is almost completely unusable like this I can't fuss with the software for 90 minutes or more every time I want to use it. And once again, after a lot of failures, I suddenly saw it connect and start to work again. But then the next day the same thing happened, it repeatedly failed to connect. That also doesn't help.)Įventually, after fussing with it for about 90 minutes of watching it fail to connect in one way or another, it suddenly connected and lit up the Cosmos display, and then everything worked perfectly. (Sometimes it gets to a slightly different error message, and invites me to restart the Cosmos instead. If I restart, it goes through the exact same sequence again, and again transitions to error 210. Restarting VIVE Console does not fix this. Restart VIVE Console to fix this.' It is a lie. Instead, the display remains dark, and the VIVE Console message transitions to saying '210: The compositor was disconnected. It goes through the normal startup-and-launch sequence, getting as far as saying 'Ready', which is the point at which it would normally light up the Cosmos display. When it was finished updating, it would no longer successfully connect to the Cosmos.

When I plugged it in last week, VIVE Console wanted to download an update (to 10.0.14.2, I believe), and it also wanted to install an update to the Cosmos firmware. The last time I plugged it on without difficulties was a couple of months ago it's been tucked away in its box since then. Now, the Cosmos struggles to connect on either PC (but it can eventually connect, and once it does it works as well as ever). I have two different VR-capable PC's, and before last week I could run my Cosmos well on either one of them.

It's been working great up until last week. I've had a VIVE Cosmos since November 2019.
