[@gus_100]

[@corentindenaeyer]

[@crowd-crows]

[@Ari-vf7xo]

can you please help me! I’m having trouble with mine, they’re in my steam vr says everything is connected but once I’m in vrchat only my controllers and headset are worling

[@crowd-crows]

@@Ari-vf7xo Do you have the dongle connected to your pc?

[@shanxysmanx]

hey man ive been wondering do the vive tracker ultimates work with the quest 3? i want to get them but im scared they dont and i have a actual pc as well (if that matters)

[@crowd-crows]

@@shanxysmanx they do work w the quest 3 but they require pcvr atm So if you’re on stand-alone I wouldn’t suggest these until they make support for them (if they do) I’m using a quest 2 hooked up to a gaming laptop tho and they’ve been working nicely

[@Shlonger2077]

Thank you, this helped a lot but I messed up setting up my room or my quest 2 controllers arent up to the task. Had a 4th one with my order but it was delayed. Was hoping to do continious calibration

[@Zera_The_Dragon]

Using the quest 3 with them....calibrating them is a nightmare. Sometimes it just works, other times it takes me almost 30mins couse they dislocate each ither like 1 Meter formard on 1 tracker and 1 Meter Backwaren on the other 1.... also have to use spacecalibrator and sadly i dont see an option to calibrate each tracker sepretly which woukd make it so fucking easy

wish I have a quest pro and htc ultimate

[@undercoversteve]

You'll need to play off your PC to be able to use the ultimates with non-vive headsets. I have a Quest 3 and I use virtual desktop for wireless streaming, it works.

[@BurstupTV]

For the past years, I have been using both the Vive Tracker 2.0 and 3.0 with various headsets (Vive, Index, Quest 2 and Quest 3). I bought the Ultimate Trackers last week - it was a bit of an impulse order, because I thought they'd be more convenient for VR sessions with the Quest 3. Oh boy, was I wrong. Space Calibrator is annoying as ever, tracking is wobbly and imprecise, in VRChat I get a lot of drift, and tracking completely fails when I lie down on my couch. The Ultimate Trackers are the most disappointing product from HTC I ever bought and I don't know what to do with them. They just don't do what I need them to do in VRChat. My guess is that they work better with the HTC headsets they were built for. But with my Index and Quest 3, I'm back to using my 3.0s - and I'm pretty annoyed that I spent so much money on trackers that I won't be using.

[@undercoversteve]

Are you past the return window? I bought mine on amazon and they have a pretty good return policy there.

[@BurstupTV]

@@undercoversteve Yeah, was thinking about that. I believe I still have a few days. Still hoping that they will eventually get better, I don't know.

[@tezzya7]

@@BurstupTV Sucks yur having theses issues cause they work really well for me with the pico 4 tbh

[@BurstupTV]

@@tezzya7 Can you lie down on the couch with them? With a base station tracker such as 2.0 and 3.0 that always works. Lying down with the Ultimate Trackers is wonky and bad. And what happens when you leave the play space for a second with one of your feet? For me, it completely destroys calibration and tracking is gone until I do space calibration again. Sometimes I even have to restart SteamVR.

[@planetcheese5692]

Do you have to use a dongle? If so is it able to connect to the pc alone or do i have to by something else to connect the dongle

[@undercoversteve]

Yep, gotta use the dongle. You can connect the dongle directly to the PC or use the extender included with the kit. It's a good idea to have the dongle set out in the open next to your play space, with your extender. I don't think the connection goes through walls very well.

[@planetcheese5692]

@@undercoversteve so I can plug it into the pc directly thanks! I've been having trouble finding this out.

[@bya_nl]

You seen some changes in the tracking after the lastes updates?

[@undercoversteve]

I don't really notice any changes with tracking, no. They did release a better version of the room calibrator like a month ago, before then I had some problems with it.

[@bya_nl]

​@@undercoversteve your video before this one the room calibrator was updated?

[@undercoversteve]

Nah I made the videos after the update. The trackers are out of beta now too (for non-Vive headsets). They were in beta support for like a year I think.

[@Rinnmoo]

I couldn’t do it it’s not working😊

[@Rinnmoo]

It’s like not working
