[ArslanGapizov]

Sympotms:

• Headset shows black screen
• SteamVR display mirror shows black screen
  -World in games became black
• SteamVR calibration utility stacks on floor calibration.
• OSVR server tells that everything is fine.
• SteamVr shows that everything is fine and works properly.

I tried
Tracker Spin plugin
OSVR-Vuzix
OSVR-Fusion

and had the same problem.

There are OSVR server output:

The problem:

I tried to switch between direct and extended mode.
Firmware is updated.
Tried to use hdk 1 and hdk 2.
Tried different hardware.

Thanks for help.

Testing your osvr setup with custom plugin and osvr applications should prove the problem is SteamVR.

SteamVR has its own support channels
