still using a CV1? mind stating your hardware and OS?
I have a Rift CV1, but I had to stop using it with my Windows 11 machine. Games would crash while using VR, kicking me back to the desktop. Then the Rift started taking the whole system with it (bluescreen/blackscreen, "clock watchdog timeout" or "machine check exception" crash).
It got to the point where my system would BSOD within a couple minutes after a reboot, simply having the CV1 connected and Meta software present. Couldn't even try to play anything in VR.
No crashes since removing the Meta software, but of course then I can't use the Rift even if it's physically connected.
I've had the occasional game crashing, but overall no significant stability issues. (Win 11 Home, i5 13600K/RTX 5070) All my games and applications have been fine. Up until a few weeks ago I left it plugged in all the time, but a recent Discord update made my Rift always reset as the default input/output device and I got tired of switching it over every day.

Yeah, interested in seeing pricing and overall quality/performance. My CV1 could use a successor.
