Acer Mixed Reality Headsets and Aces High are not compatible...

[Mister Fork]

they are both plugged into your graphics card right and you don't have one plugged into you mb?
steamvr will not like one being plugged into the card and one plugged into the motherboard.

LOL.  Good catch Kanth -  it's not but still, good catch.

All 3 are plugged into my 970 video out ports (1 x HDMI, 2 X DVI and 1 x Display port).  The Acer is using the display port. I may experiment with unplugging one monitor to see if plugging my main monitor into port #1 (DVI), and the Acer into port #2 (HDMI) resolves the issue.

I saw all the Acer and VR headset support question posts around that exact same issue and i just giggled to myself. (I've done that before).

Ok - tried my son's computer with his Acer VR headset and a new 1050 Ti 6Gb card - no joy - exact same issue.

Skuzzy - he's agreed to give up his for a couple weeks. I'll fire you a PM.

Ok, Fork was good enough to send us one of his units, and good news!

It got here and we have already confirmed something is not right.  First step completed, duplicating the problem.

Turns out the Acer unit does not send the game the input value for the headset sensor so we cannot know the user put it on.  HP headsets do have that input.  Seems there will be inconsistencies on the Microsoft MR approach.

Is this something I should complain to Acer about? I could submit a bug report on their website...

Not a bug, per se, just a difference in the hardware implementation.  Not sure what type of leeway Microsoft is giving the MR manufacturers.

HiTech found a way to work around it.  Taking some time as it also impacts how audio and controller mapping is switched when you put on or take off the headset.

Yikes...

What a PITA...

That may earn him a bribe for his efforts...

Speaking of...where is your bribe link Skuzzmiester?

[Skuzzy]

No need.  Now we know the headsets can come configured that way, we can deal with it.  Works in our favor.  Appreciate what you did!  <S>
