Mixed Reality with Varjo XR3

Post by muskan14 »

Hi,
I am a Student interning in a very cool company as an immersive media designer.
I have been working on p3d V5 for months now and i have used it with headsets like Varjo aero and now Varjo XR3, the virtual reality aspect of P3D has stopped working with varjo xr3 headset completely.
Every time I enable varjo in the virtual reality drop down, P3D turns black and the varjo base shows 'no application running'.
I have enabled all the necessary settings in the VR settings and advanced Mixed reality settings.
Nothing is resolving the matter.

A quick help would be appreciated!

Thank you,
Muskan

Has anything changed about your hardware setup or software configuration? (Graphics drivers, windows updates, VarjoBase version, etc). If you're on a dual GPU machine, make sure the Prepar3D app window is on a display connected to same GPU as your HMD. That's the only thing of hand that I can think of that would casuse VR to fail on initialization.

Hi, thank you for the reply.
I am connected to a single GPU only. The headset and the monitor, both are connected to a 3070 GPU and have always been connected to the same GPU only.

Thanks,
Muskan.

What about the software/hardware changes I mentioned in the previous post? You mentioned this worked before. If we can figure out what has changed, that might help determine the cause.

We started with a 1070 GPU, this was when we were using version 4, and we were able to work on it with htc vive.
then we upgraded to 3070 GPU and version 4 only of P3D and that worked in VR with Varjo aero.
after that we updated to version 5 of p3d and varjo XR3, since then, it's not working and the issue stated is being faced.
the system has been the same throughout.
