SteamVR may produce an error code if there is a problem when you plug your VR headset in, to help you determine the reason why your VR headset is not detected. This next section covers some of the more common SteamVR error codes, and how to fix them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Error 108 (Headset Not Detected)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Error 108 is the most common error code, but it is a non-specific error that means your VR headset has not been detected. This can be due to a wide range of issues, so you are best to start by going through the guidance earlier in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Error 208 (HMD Display Not Found)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Error 208 means that your headset has been detected, but the display on your VR headset has not been recognized or configured. This can be due to a poor cable connection, so check that these are firmly secured. If this doesn\u2019t work, it can often be fixed by restarting both your headset and computer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Error 113 (Path Registry Not Writable)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This error code refers to a problem with SteamVR\u2019s user write rights. Check your permissions for writing to your PC\u2019s user directory to ensure SteamVR can save to the necessary locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Error 200 (Driver Failed)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Error 200 is caused when there is a problem with the OpenVR driver, or when there are conflicts in the SteamVR driver directory. If you have manually added any files or drivers to this library, they should be deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Windows 10 updates can also cause problems with the OpenVR driver, resulting in error 200. You can fix this by installing the Windows Media Pack for Windows 10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Occasionally, error 200 can be caused by a faulty USB cable, so you should try an alternate cable if possible to see if this fixes the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Error 301 (Connect Failed)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Error 301 is usually caused by missing or corrupt files within SteamVR. The most common fix is to make sure SteamVR is correctly installed by verifying the integrity of the files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If this doesn\u2019t work, try uninstalling and then reinstalling SteamVR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Error 302 (Init Failed)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Error 302 is caused by problems with Vrserver starting up. This can normally be fixed by restarting your computer and relaunching SteamVR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contact Your VR Headset Manufacturer for More Help With VR Headset Not Detected Errors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you have been through all these steps and are still no closer to resolving the cause of your VR headset not being detected, I would strongly advise you to contact the customer service department of your VR headset manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each individual headset will have a number of specific issues that affect small numbers of headsets and the VR headset manufacturer may be able to give further advice. Support forums for individual VR headsets are also a good source of help from other users of your individual headset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are still getting nowhere despite ruling out all the common hardware and software issues, you should consider the possibility that you have a faulty headset. Ask your headset manufacturer if they are able to provide a replacement device to see if this is the cause of the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last Word<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I hope by the end of these steps you have resolved the reason why your VR headset is not being detected. Although this article covers most of the common issues, there are no doubt a lot of rare issues that can also cause problems. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
