I've had a vive for a while now and got the wireless adapter about a year ago. To be honest - it's been a pretty good experience, but recently i tried to get to the bottom of a long standing bug. SO far, i've swapped everything that connects or can be connected to (bar the adapter itself) to no avail. I've even sent it back and i've been told it's not faulty. Thing is, i'm not alone in the problem. It happens like this:
* Be playing for about 30-40 minutes
* Screen disconnects
* Screen may or may not come back - reboot if not
* Continue as normal

I recently discovered that it's likely to be overheating and there's also a number of other people having same issue, but HTC seem to be running the clock down and are refusing the replace it. I might have to punt for a cooling solution, but I'd rather not if i'm honest since it's an issue with their product. I'm nearly out of the manufacturers warranty now.

Anyone else had/having any issues if they have this hardware?
