Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

BEHAVIOR
After a recent update, I ran the SteamVR beta program, waited for it to load, then turned on my controllers. Both controllers showed green/on lights, but only one was solid green in the SteamVR Status window.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
Both controllers turn on and are recognized by SteamVR.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Run SteamVR from Steam beta client
  2. Power on HTC Vive controllers one by one

Well... I restarted my PC, tried it again and it worked. I guess this is an intermittent issue. Things seem to be working now, for the moment.

I experience this from time to time as well. Sometimes (a bit more rarely though) I only get one lighthouse. Logging off and logging back on is typically enough to change the symptoms.

Nothing extracted yet.
