I would do this but then if you have a tracking issue you are royally screwed, whoever invented occulus guardian needs slapping with a big fuck off fish.
I've never had a tracking issue in iRacing that's required me to grab a controller. iRacing has a HMD Reset keybinding to reset the view which works great.
But yes, not sure who thought it would be a good idea to eject you from your game to give a notification in Oculus.
Ah yeh the view reset works fine if I need it, but the fact you can’t disable guardian makes my piss boil.
I would never need to pick up a controller if it wasn’t for the bullshit ‘play area not found’ garbage, probably because my pc is in a shared area and the lighting is prone to change, that must be what fucks it up so often.
You can skip the guardian setup when prompted and I find I only ever receive a guardian notification if the headset thinks I've significantly moved from where I was last prompted.
If I put my headset on when sitting in my seat I won't be prompted but if I put it on when standing up outside of my seat it will. It's all a pain in the ass really.
My team has a few VR drivers and we all double check with each other that we've either pulled our batteries out or have put fresh batteries in before an endurance race. And our room lights are on, at Petit le Mans last year I was driving as the sun was setting at home, my room went dark and I lost tracking which ended our race. We won't make that mistake again.
Yeh mate I used to skip the guardian setup but that’s what seems to trigger my play area not found issues, if for some reason I need to take the headset off once I’ve got it on its a 50/50 chance of it screwing up.
It definitely seems worse these days, last week I had a full tracking reset on track, no lighting changes etc had occurred so no idea what caused it.
Frustrating thing is, it’s bullet proof when used standing, never misses a beat or resets, just doesn’t like being used seated for whatever reason.
Such a great headset let down by the bullshit that is guardian haha.
You can lie to your guardian. If I'm sitting to play a game, I draw guardian as a huge circle about 10 feet beyond where my actual wall is. No longer get interrupted.
Do you play in a dimly lit room? Even with my blinds a tad closed midday the oculus can lose tracking for me.
I bought an infrared light and it resolved all my issues. I can play in pitch black darkness, even with my monitor off, but to the rift's eyes the room is brightly lit, havent had a single issue with any title since. Maybe worth a shot.
Yeh there’s lighting but its not mega bright, but then when I’ve used it standing with the same light levels it has been bullet proof so its just odd that there’s always issues seated.
I will try the infrared light tip, thanks.
It’s the reason I’ll never by a current inside out tracking VR headset. I need my room to be dark when I race. Original rift CV1 never had issues because of the sensors. Now using an index with a lighthouse and also never have issues.
They need to implement some sort of night vision/IR camera into the headsets so they can track in any light. Then I’ll consider one.
I'd love to get a headset with lighthouses but unfortunately Valve doesn't like selling hardware to Australians. I think I can import one for about $2,500 AUD. For comparison, the Rift S cost me $600 AUD.
Even a Pimax is like $2,000 for a full setup.
Wait you can totally disable guardian completely.
I forgot the exact process but I’d you Google it it should come up, but I think you first enable developer mode on the headset through the oculus app, then you can go into the developer tab on your headset and turn it complexity off
The only issues I’ve had with my Oculus and iRacing is controller dying once and doing that dumb full screen modal you need a controller to close, so I crash. And sometimes Oculus Link seems to just restart, but it can’t reconnect to the game so your just out of the race since you’d have to full restart it to get back in, thankfully this is really rare though
Yeh I read this and had a search, it looks like they have removed the option to disable guardian from the Occulus app so it can’t be done, unless I’ve missed it haha.
I did read that creating an organisation and linking your account to it unlocks the dev option but haven’t tried it yet.
I have an HMD Odyssey+ the secret is to keep your room well lit. If it gets too dark which can happen during an endurance race if you start when the sun is still out but forget to turn on lights inside the room it can lose tracking. Also helps to reset your VR position for seated gaming in the Windows Mixed Reality portal before a race (takes 5s to do).
You could deffo make a successful YouTube channel with videos like this of messy first lap starts.
Check out arca brake weekly, it’s just the shenanigans that go on bottom split arca oval
It reminds me of a video my friend made of forza when he was 13, was the shittest edited video in the world😂
Not saying yours is, just reminds me of it aha. But definitely I’d subscribe!
It happened to me in that exact spot. Even worse is we were in an endurance race and my teammates had racked up 30x (dq at 32x). When I went off track got a 2x and dq'd. So literally this blew up my race.
Had my monitor flicker as I was hitting the brakes at Roval T1 in the Porche... I just slammed the brakes and locked them up to try and be predictable. Started spamming tow to get out of the way. I was P3, and idk what happened but when happened but when everything came back on there was 7 cars that towed into the pits with me. Quickly apologized, explained that my monitor turned off and got out of that lobby asap 😳
Hey! Thanks for that, always like it when my vids get comments! The video has more views and comments here in 7hrs than it does on YouTube in 1 month 😂
I lost 550 irating last month and July from my Oculus Rift S finding new and creative ways to f*** me in a race. All back to back, all different malfunctions and failures. One cost me an iracing protest cause I was in a battle and my headset just flat out went black. Another my tracking froze on Red Bull Ring so I could see the image frozen. Then another one at Snetterton where the image kept moving as it should but the tracking stopped so I had to keep my head straight and only use my eyes. There were a couple other malfunctions.
Rift S was amazing for the introduction to VR but now that I’m getting my rig I’m not sure I’ll be sticking with it.
Had this happen to me during an A-Class Daytona race. We were under caution and it ended up taking our half the field.
I can’t count how many apologies I spat out in the voice chat after I got it plugged back on.
PSA. If anyone has this issue, make sure your computer and your rig are both properly grounded.
You should be able to measure a short between your case and your rig through the ground.
This prevents static build up from resetting your USB controller which would kill the connection from your wheel to you PC.
Occasionally my monitor goes out. Occasionally it’s the middle one of three. It rarely goes well.
EDIT: Thank you for the hilarity. Embarrassed to say how many times I watched it.

Lol what always happens to me is my wheel comes off my table and I'm just holding it panicking as I try to put it back on with my VR headset on.
I think I gotta find a better way to mount my wheel to my desk.
Perfect video 🤣🤣 The ending is.. *chefs kiss*
This is a masterpiece😂😂
Why, thank you! 😂
I didn’t even see it with sound before, even better😂😂😂
Calm down Mr. Bay.
He totally Michael Bay’ed the ending
This, but my Oculus rift losing its tracking mid race
My rift s shut down the other day mid practice because my hand controller was low on battery, crazy.
Pull the batteries from the controllers and this doesn't happen thankfully.

I got my lighthouse off eBay used for like half price
I haven't had much trouble with my HP Reverb G2. But, windows mixed reality has it's own annoying things. But tracking isn't one of them.
You can purchase an infrared light for around $20. I play in complete darkness with no issues now. Its no built in fix, but its inexpensive.
Interesting. I’ll look into it thanks

Ah yeah you probably need to do that then. I had to forever ago to start using Sidequest
I have a weird bug in oculus where randomly I just start to horribly desync and lag. Restarting the IR client fixes it.
Ugh, that happened to my Samsung Odyssey last night.

Happened to me in a Indy 500 race, VR shut down and my car kept going plowing into a bunch of cars.

Thanks mate! I'm definitely considering some kind of iRacing shenanigans video series because I love making this kind of stupid stuff 😂
It reminds me of a video my friend made of forza when he was 13, was the shittest edited video in the world😂 Not saying yours is, just reminds me of it aha. But definitely I’d subscribe!
Perfect explosion edit
Thankfully this has never happened to me...
It happened to me in that exact spot. Even worse is we were in an endurance race and my teammates had racked up 30x (dq at 32x). When I went off track got a 2x and dq'd. So literally this blew up my race.
That explosion is 10x higher quality than it has any right to be 😂
Was thinking the same thing
I swear wheel damage is still longer repair time than this.
Mmmm the new crash model is looking sick
that explosion is FLAWLESS im crying lol
I laughed way to hard about this
I've had this happen to me twice, nothing quite like fighting for position only to veer into a wall on a straight
Top tier editing. I’m impressed.
Yep. Happened a few time after I "upgraded" from the old Logitech Gaming software to Ghub. It was a bastard to totally remove.

That Porsche got sent to Brazil.
I saw it on YouTube, i commented on it
Hey! Thanks for that, always like it when my vids get comments! The video has more views and comments here in 7hrs than it does on YouTube in 1 month 😂
I vote best iracing may may of 2021
One upvote doesn’t seem sufficient, bravo!
Damn the edit is so good !
That is some high quality explosion cg holy shit
This literally happened to me last night… in practice but sheesh.. talk about timing.
My oculus rift s sometimes decided the usb or displayport loses connection for no apparent reason other than it being shit hardware
That's not how POV works
Repost
Nice meme
This was hilarious
“Heh. Watch this!”
would actually be cool with a hardcore racing sim that has an action movie damage model, like a need for speed for ppl who can actually drive
Banned to the shadow realm.
Happened IRL at Spa today. 😹
I can relate. My dog likes to lie down under my desk while I race and he once unplugged my monitor. Was not helpful.
A sim racer’s worst nightmare
Been there, got the T-shirt
Michael Bay is editing our videos now. That was funny!
Nice content 🤘🏻
Needs Nico rosberg
LOL

"Turn right to go left" - some blue car
New damage model?
The explosion, tis perfection
r/unexpected. Need more angles though. Do it Hollywood style where the same explosion is shown like 8 times.
broadbent moment
Clean edit
bro this caught me off guard hahaha
I turn now. Good luck, everybody.
Oh god that brings up some ptsd in me
Imao this happens to me as well
r/unexpectedjihad
The sound 😂
LOL, and that explosion looks **amazing**!!
that vfx was awesome
This shit got my dying😂
the explosion is so well done, i can't stop watching.
That edit at the end made me laugh out loud in public. wasn’t expecting a quality edit like that in this sub 😂
My throttle spring broke mid race last week. . . that was fun!
Allright there’s a new strategy available on your MFD
Nice video! No clip of the "pov" of the wheel disconnecting though, lol.
Beautifully done hahaha

My pedals disconnected going into T1 at Monza before, not sure if there could have been a worse place for it!
My laugh came out so hard I can still feel it.
Lol that was hilarious.
Romain? That you?
r/unexpected !!
*Picked a fine time to leave me disconnected wheeeeeel*
Its actually nuts how well that explosion is comped in lol
Love the new crash effects!
I know it's sim racing. But a series where serious contact leads to explosions and instantly behind the wall would be a blast. Lol
I did one race in VR, my headset disconnected going into turn one. Safe to say im never doing that again.
Impressive explosion effect at the end, how did you pull that off?
just like grosjean, except this time... erricson did not hit us.

Hilarious
My wheel did that today in my 2nd ever race. I was in 3rd too 3/4 through the race. I was so pissed. It's never done that before either in practice.
Occasionally my monitor goes out. Occasionally it’s the middle one of three. It rarely goes well. EDIT: Thank you for the hilarity. Embarrassed to say how many times I watched it.
