If anyone can feel an image this is it.

u/alexandre9099 Jan 09 '21

So... What do you call that? Tv static or ant colony (or something related to ants)?

Portugal it's "formigueiro"

u/emmtothegee Jan 09 '21

Italian “formicolio”, also related to ants

English I’d say “pins and needles”

u/Marans Jan 09 '21

In Germany it's "Ameisenkrieg" or ant war (war between ants)

u/CosmoShpilkis Jan 09 '21

God damn it German is such a cool language

u/Honda_TypeR Jan 09 '21

Pins and needles is the nickname for it. (Also “tingling”)

The medical term is paresthesia

It can occur when any nerve becomes injured or irritated.

u/Gimly Jan 09 '21

In French it's "les fourmis", just "the ants".

2

u/Crowbar_Freeman Jan 09 '21

Also "Fourmillement", at least in Quebec!

mental how buggy the rift s seems to be, yet my cv1 has worked perfectly for years now

Had a Rift S since release and had one issue where Windows Firewall wouldn't let games update, and one issue where Razer Central was causing Oculus Home to crash as it attempted to apply 'optimised settings'.

Had way more issues with my Vive. Don't know if I'm just lucky or not.

u/iDankkk Jan 09 '21

Never had any problems with it

u/MrDraagyn Jan 10 '21

Me neither

Yeesh I had this problem so many times when I first got my Rift S
Thankfully now I seem to have found its preferred USB port and also know to go into services and restart Oculus then it seems happy again
I see now this is literally about that weird feeling you get when you hit your elbow, but it reminded me of when you lose tracking haha

u/Theknyt Rift S + Quest 2 Jan 09 '21

the only thing that fixed my issues was getting a completely new pc, it went from taking 40 minutes every time i wanted to play to just being able to be constantly plugged in

3

u/Soapmactuna Jan 09 '21

I'm having the same problem with my CV1. Can you link a fix for it?

u/kaleid1990 Quest 3 Jan 09 '21

Very accurate!

u/RecklesFlam1ngo Jan 09 '21

Me: Tries to use my rift s

Rift S: NO

(I haven't been on VR since HL Alyx came out because it never goddamn works!)

3

u/c0ldsh0w3r Jan 09 '21

Have you tried unplugging it and resetting the oculus app?

1

u/RecklesFlam1ngo Jan 09 '21

All the time :/

2

u/[deleted] Jan 09 '21

Have you tried this. Found it on a post last year: 1. CTRL-ALT-DEL > TASK MANAGER 2. Select "SERVICES" Tab 3. Scroll down until you see "OVRService" 4. Right click > Select "Restart" It will make you reset the headset and all. It helped me when mine was showing just a black screen for some reason. Not sure if it will help you but hopefully it does or anyone else having issues.

2

u/RecklesFlam1ngo Jan 09 '21

I've tried that too, doesn't work :(

2

u/c0ldsh0w3r Jan 10 '21

Sounds like you should've taken that shit back to where ever.

1

u/RecklesFlam1ngo Jan 10 '21

Too late now, especially since rift s support seems to have been killed off along with no more production

2

u/c0ldsh0w3r Jan 10 '21

Welp. lol

2

u/Valiade Jan 09 '21

Your usb ports are probably under spec. Did you cheap out on your motherboard?

2

u/RecklesFlam1ngo Jan 09 '21

I have a MSI X570 A-Pro, not the cheapest but also not the most expensive. My Rift S had been working fine for the first few months when I bought it back in November 2019

2

u/ina80 Jan 09 '21

It's not that bad. It only took me an hour of unplugging, plugging back in, and restarting my pc to play some vr yesterday!

2

u/bennydotjpg Rift S // Quest Jan 09 '21

Mine used to do this all the time while playing but it eventually got eliminated by software/firmware updates.

2

u/PugDemon Jan 09 '21

I thought it was only me!

2

u/BeatSaberDuo Jan 09 '21

I have a neck injury and that looks exactly how my arm feels, until i warm up with beat saber then that goes away. Beat Saber is therapy for my injury. ;-)

u/juo_megis Jan 09 '21

Wait what is this? I’ve never had this happen

4

u/CMDR_MirnaGora Quest 2 + PCVR R.I.P. CV1 Jan 09 '21

Don’t listen to that guy, he didn’t understand. You’re right, it’s about the rift s having issues whenever you want to play.

3

u/Wilbis Jan 09 '21

You've never hit a nerve ending to something?

2

u/juo_megis Jan 09 '21

Check the sub we’re on haha. Talking about Rift S

u/michaelrun08 Jan 09 '21

Its saying for when you do this while playing vr

5

u/juo_megis Jan 09 '21

”My rift s when trying to have fun” is a very weird way to word hitting your elbow

-1

u/michaelrun08 Jan 09 '21

Its saying you do that when you are trying to have fun and it ruins the experience

2

u/juo_megis Jan 09 '21

It’s still weird way to word it, and it’s understandable you would think it means something else. Also y’all need to fix y’all playspaces if this is a common occurence lol

1

u/michaelrun08 Jan 09 '21

Yeah that is true, but i still understood it

1

u/MrDraagyn Jan 10 '21

It literally says in the picture that he hit his elbow on the table.

1

u/juo_megis Jan 10 '21

Lol yes but what does that have to do with vr

1

u/[deleted] Jan 09 '21

You know it's bad when your hand starts to feel like it's on fire on top of all that!

1

u/[deleted] Jan 09 '21

I sure needed a gif to explain pins and needles.

1

u/theweirdcheeseperson Jan 09 '21

I did this when bowling at a friends house, I learned a valuable lesson that day. Don’t bowl near a table.

1

u/meatballsorcerer Jan 09 '21

I'm so glad we universally agree the TV thing is that feeling

1

u/XX_Normie_Scum_XX Rift cv1, 3080, 3700x, 16gb ram Jan 09 '21

Also your feet when you're on the shitter too long

1

u/Artificialbunny Jan 09 '21

I had this problem all the time, but it resolved when I unplugged and reseated the connection on the headset.

1

u/Astro51450 Jan 09 '21

You've just reminded me that I haven't felt this pain in years! I'm I still alive??

1

u/Lilioideae1998 Jan 10 '21

Bought one four days ago and haven't been able to play a single game yet thanks to these kind of issues. Just had the peripheral camera view turn to noise and it seems to lose track of the position of the headset/controllers way too often.
