We do have improving this on the roadmap, but for the time being this is expected. I recommend unplugging the glasses after finishing up using them for the day.

Hi, I just replied to your email. I had completely missed the communication here. I had started using the T5 forum on Discord and forgot about this one.
Just one thing I forgot to mention in the email, I did upgrade to 1.2.1 but it did not solve the problem. It does seem that it lasts a bit longer before the problem starts but I don't know if that is real, just a perception or perhaps because the weather cooled down a little.
Thanks and best regards

Hey Sam,
I used my Tilt5 for the first time today and I am experiencing the same thing you describe.
The fan seems really loud compared to that of other devices like the Oculus Quest.
When I move my head quickly that also changes the sound it makes.
After trying out the demos and the Unity SDK I already kind of got used the humming fan (even though this needs improvement if it is meant to be like that).
I am more concerned with the cooling performance. At a room temperature of 25°C it gets really hot really quick.
Looking at it with the FLIR camera it seems a bit like the fan is mostly cooling itself while from the middle to the left the internals get hotter with the FLIR measuring close to 50°C on the left side's surface (right at the larger air vents). I'm used to a lot from VR headsets but the heat on the forehead does seem a bit much. And that was the result of only one round of marbles (which runs very smooth and looks and plays awesome by the way).
Cheers,
John

I can confirm that neither PCs had any previous SDK installation. Both are running Windows 10.
I can't see a method of uninstalling the SDK (from the Start Menu nor Apps page) so unfortunately don't have the ability to repeat the process again.
Edit: The image above is actually a single screenshot - the windows appear concurrently. The error pops up early in the progress bar, I just didn't snap the screenshot until it finished.
Looks like your connection to Tilt Five Forums was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.
