There are some errors that can happen when you try to play with the HTC Vive. Many people get an error code that means that the game will not let you play VR games. This is what is known as error 210. If you are trying to login into a game or try to use your device, this error might show up. It is annoying and frustrating to find that the headset just does not work properly.
It can be caused by a server error, a network error, or something that affects your device or your internet connection. You might also experience this error if other programs on your computer are preventing the HTC Vive from working properly, or if there is some kind of malware that is installed on your computer. If you are getting this error, you must try a few different solutions.
First, check if the headset is plugged in correctly. If you are unsure, try unplugging everything that is removed from the box and plugging it again.
When you take out the headset, power and USB cables should be plugged into the correct slots on the link box. From there, the USB and HDMI cables from the link box should be plugged into the computer and the power cord should be plugged into a power outlet. Once the headset is properly plugged in, the LED on the headset should turn green, which means that it is now ready to use.
Restart the HTC Vive. If you have made any changes to the way your driver works, try performing a clean install. It will delete any settings that you previously used, which is a good solution if you have a device that is not functioning properly.
If this still does not work, you can try calling HTC Customer Support to have them help you. You can try calling their customer support number or going to their website. Customer service will ask you to send them an error message that you are seeing on your screen. If that does not work, they will tell you what to do, and they can suggest you another way to solve the problem.
