HP mixed reality headset going to sleep in the midle of use
korka
✭
It happens with various SteamVR games ( Form, arizona sunshine, dead effect 2.)
Hard to tell if it happens with ALL the games since I4m not sure how long I have to wait for this to happen.
Symptom are simple. I am playing. Suddely game crashes. Steam VR also crashes. I see on the WMR portal tha my headset has gone to sleep. WMR portal, or whole computer, has to be restarted to work again.
Windows insider build 17063
Freshly resintalled system.
I can't seem to find a way to prevent this from happening. As far as I can tell, there is no parameter in WMR portal or device properties for sleep. I tried various SteamVR options, but none works.
I'd like to know if this is a comon issue, or if this is somehow a problem with my setup.
And obviously, if there is any way to simply switch off the auto-sleep function that prevent me from playing.
I'd like to point out that, although this might seems trivial, it actively prevent the headset from being used for many games, where save occurs at fixed points. For those game, you end up being stuck if any level is longer than the timeout of the headset.
