Errror message: Failed to initialize libovr #1

Closed Friese611 closed 6 years ago

Friese611 commented 6 years ago

Hi, i get this error message "Failed to initialize libovr" if i try to start the game. Any ideas? i5 6600k, 16gb ddr4, Gtx 980ti, Win 10, HTC Vive

LukeRoss00 commented 6 years ago

Hi! Thanks for helping me debug this issue.

Could you please unzip this file into your mod installation folder and try again? It should give you a more detailed error message: can you copy what it says with Ctrl+C and paste it here please?

Also, does SteamVR start when you launch Lithtech.exe? If it starts, does it give any error messages?

Friese611 commented 6 years ago

Hi, SteamVR doesn´t start. This is the error message with the new file:

No One Lives Forever 2 VR

Failed to initialize libOVR (error -3003) OpenVR loaded: yes Revive loaded: yes Last error: -1004, ""

OK

Friese611 commented 6 years ago

For your information: I have also the Oculus Software installed but not active running (i can start it with a script file if i need the Oculus Store to play the games there). If i have the Oculus software running i get this error with the new file:

No One Lives Forever 2 VR

Oculus Rift not detected (error -1007)

OK

That sounds normal to me because i don´t own the Rift. I have also the latest REVIVE Software installed.

LukeRoss00 commented 6 years ago

That last bit of information you added might be important, because error -3003 is precisely "Couldn't connect to the OVR Service."

Could you please try two additional things:

  1. Start the Oculus service, then launch Lithtech.exe (send me the new error message if it changes in any way);
  2. If 1. doesn't work, start the Oculus service, then start SteamVR manually, and finally launch Lithtech.exe (again it would be helpful to see the new error message if different)
LukeRoss00 commented 6 years ago

There are actually two important components to the Oculus software: the client (i.e., Oculus Home) which should not be needed for NOLF2 to work, and the server ("Oculus VR Runtime Service") which runs in the background. When you say that you have the Oculus software running, do you mean the Oculus Home or the background service?

Friese611 commented 6 years ago

The error message is the same in both ways:

No One Lives Forever 2 VR

Oculus Rift not detected (error -1007)

OK

If i start only steamvr manually (without the oculus service running) i see the same "Failed to initializelibOVR... " error.

Friese611 commented 6 years ago

I use this script for the Oculus runtime: sc config OVRService start= demand net start "OVRService" if %errorlevel% == 2 net stop "OVRService"

If i only start the script and don´t have the client open than the client starts automaticly if i use the Lithtech.exe. Sorry for my english ;-)

Friese611 commented 6 years ago

If i close the Oculus runtime with the script file i can´t see any Oculus software running in the task manager.

LukeRoss00 commented 6 years ago

Okay. This is super weird, because the game reports OpenVR and Revive as being loaded, but the error messages and the behavior you described are those that would be expected when Revive is not active.

Are you using an antivirus that might be blocking the .dll's from being executed? Windows Defender is good, but other third-party antivirus programs tend to be a little over-aggressive at times.

Friese611 commented 6 years ago

i have the Windows defender and Malwarebytes Anti Exploit running. But i tried it before without running Malwarebytes and got the same error. I read in a reddit post that another user has the same problem.

LukeRoss00 commented 6 years ago

Yes, thanks for all the info!

I also have reports of people successfully running the mod with the Vive (and without a Rift of course), so I'm trying to isolate what the difference among the systems may be that makes it fail on some configurations and work on others.

Friese611 commented 6 years ago

Anyway...thank you very much for your mod and have a nice day.

LukeRoss00 commented 6 years ago

Could you try injecting the program with your installed version of Revive instead of using the embedded one? That is, run SteamVR, open Revive's system tray menu, select "Inject...", and point it to the Lithtech.exe executable.

Friese611 commented 6 years ago

Lol...that works ;-)

LukeRoss00 commented 6 years ago

Haha, that's bizarre. I created the embedded version of Revive because other users were having the opposite problem, where Inject wasn't working.

Thank you so much for your time, and I'm glad that it works for you in the end. If by any chance you manage to find out what was wrong with the embedded version on your system, please post here so it might help other users!

Friese611 commented 6 years ago

Ok...i thank you!
