vr VS ChaperoneTweak

I use the lighthouse keeper executable from MixedVR Manager with a bat script for starting them:

I'm curious what you mean by MixedVR Manager is broken. After reading a lot of github it is sounding like the SteamVR room setup loop may be a bug / problem with OVR Advanced Settings...

https://github.com/monstermac77/vr#start-upshutdown

And also setup GitHub - monstermac77/vr: This is a comprehensive guide to my VR setup, including descriptions of some VR concepts and phenomena.

I basically borrowed it from MixedVr Manager With ChangeScreenREsolution.exe

If you follow the setup guide to the letter - including the use of SteamVR chaperone instead of WMR bounds, you should have no issues. I manually turn power on to base stations and the HMD itself each time I play. HMD is plugged into USB-C/dport on RTX2080, no extension. Also, I do not use MixedVR Manager but do autorun a script closing Room Setup (at SteamVR launch).

I am at work at the moment so can’t get you a full step-by-step, but reading the release notes should hopefully help you for now: iirc you just need to run the uninstall script and it should make everything WMR side work as default.

Mixed VR manager has some software that lets your computer control the base-stations. IMO, the script was too restrictive for me, but it's easy to edit.

I'd recommend looking at the "Tracking" section of my vr repo: https://github.com/monstermac77/vr/#tracking, especially the last paragraph.

If you have enough room to make your chaperone just large enough (even if you don't have enough space to play there) you might be able to get away with setting it up that way, then using something like chaperonetweak to manually resize it to something smaller. I use it to make a chaperone that more accurately reflects the shape of the space I have.

I would also highly recommend grabbing Chaperone Tweak. I use this whenever I want to make adjustments to my play space. You have way more control over the shape than you would with the default setup. It's also very useful in that you can use your passthrough camera and see your environment as you move your bounds with your hands. Super intuitive and very very useful.

If you want to modify more in depth your chaperone, you can use ChaperoneTweak

If you haven't already installed the Open VR Advanced settings you should as it gives you all sorts of stuff including ways to modify your playspace. That said for a quick change of your space I generally use chaperone tweak. Generally don't recommend turning off your boundaries as you're just asking to break something.

Created new layout. Tried to tweak it in ChaperoneTweak but that app never showed a single wall; I am guessing it was not reading the chaperone_info.vrchap correctly.

I found that the steam chaperone is easier to stay in for me. You have to enable staged tracking in virtual desktop for it to work right, but if you don’t want to bother with all that you can just enable the center floor marker in ovr advanced settings and keep your guardian. I disable guardian completely though and use steam chaperone. Ovr advanced settings can save your chaperone profile and you can use Chaperone Tweak to adjust it perfectly

Next for the actual playspace adjustment I use a took called Chaperone Tweak which lets me change where my floor is located, rotated, ect. I can also adjust the walls add walls remove walls whatever you want to do.
