Discussion Is LCD actually that bad?

I have a psvr2, which has oled and its been great, i have been looking forward to the Steam Frame, however when people saw it had LCD they were disappointed, I've heard some quest users say its gray, how bad would the jump be from OLED to LCD?

Question/Support Controllers Stop Working In Certain Apps

6 Upvotes

I got a PSVR2 recently and it's been working super well for the past 2 weeks. However, today I have got a weird issue that hasn't happened before.

My controllers connect and work in SteamVR, but when I'm using certain apps in the desktop, SteamVR ceases to see the controllers. No buttons work or anything. The controllers remain paired to the PC and connected via Bluetooth, but SteamVR does not see them. The VR dashboard doesn't see it and the controller tester registers no inputs. The programs that I have verified this problem to be on are Discord, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Task Manager. It doesn't happen on Steam windows, Windows Explorer, or IntelliJ IDEA. When any of the problematic windows are no longer the active window, the controller immediately gets picked up by SteamVR again.

I've tried:

- Rebooting (many times!)

- Re-paring the controllers

- Plugging the PSVR2 adapter to a different USB

- Verifying files on SteamVR and the PSVR2 App

- Reinstalling SteamVR and the PSVR2 app

- Punching my desk and yelling expletives in frustration

- Deleting SteamVR config files and starting fresh

None of these worked and I was wondering if anyone had any solutions before I hit the nuclear option of reinstalling Windows. I gotta be able to use Discord when I'm gaming

EDIT: Another thing - when the controllers are in the not working state, I see a bunch of lights (presumably IR or something) on the ring part of the controller when using the headset's passthrough mode. They are not visible in reality, only on the passthrough

Question/Support SteamVR on Quest 2 has terrible performance

0 Upvotes

On my Quest 2, I use Steam Link wirelessly to play Beat Saber on PCVR, however when I launch the game, it becomes overly pixelated, has insane controller delay, and has frequent frame drops. I don't know what settings I'm supposed to change to make it high quality? I don't have an ethernet cable and I can't buy one, and my wireless router is downstairs, I usually get 150Mbps. Can I get some help on this? I really want to download my own Beat Saber maps, but it's unplayable like this.

Question/Support unfortunate timing

1 Upvotes

I have a quest 2 and I heard about the singularity root a few weeks ago and decided i'd download it, thinking it would get popular and have a lot of community support because of how easy it is, so far as far as i can tell there's only cheats for games (i'm not interested in doing any of that). My problem is, when i did this, my quest updated right before i could do this, i was scared thinking i was on the wrong version, but i just happened to get the last version that supports singularity, i thought i got really lucky, but now steam link is really broken for me, where i get a lot of visual glitches in my right eye, and as far as i can tell, its from this update specifically and works in newer and older versions, but because i'm rooted, i can't update without the risk of getting bricked, and the quest can't downgrade at all from what i know, is there any way this could be fixed? or just generally anything i can do? (even being able to update safely without a risk of getting bricked would be good enough atp, i basically only use steam link so my headset has just been collecting dust for now)

Question/Support Unable to connect VR remotely using university IOT Network

1 Upvotes

Unfortunately this is something that I have never gotten to work in the past and Steam Support was unhelpful in the matter so as a last ditch effort I would like to try and find help here. I am trying to a connect a Meta Quest 3 to my computer using a remote desktop application, especially Steam Link as I would prefer to use it since it seems to work well for others. I am not sure if this is something that is maybe blocked on a IOT network but it shouldnt be as IOT network I am using a system put in place to specifically allow for two devices to communicate. I am also using a 3rd party Wifi card rather than something that is native to the motherboard if that changes anything. Here are all the troubleshooting tips I have tried so far:
1. Network is set as private
2. Windows Firewall settings are off
3. Other applications such as Metas native remote desktop client will not work
4. I have ran system file checker
5. Confirmed graphics and windows are updated
6. I have installed all of Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio from 2005-Present
7. I have completely wiped all Meta related installs on my PC
8. I have disabled the ethernet ports on my PC before connecting
9. I have had Steam VR running while trying attempts
10. I have turned the Remote Link setting on and off
11. I have tried with both bluetooth on and off

Need Help with New USB Beta

2 Upvotes

Saw a post that SteamVR's beta branch now supports USB connected headsets. I want to get this working because for some reason using Meta Air Link or SteamLink have been unsatisfactory. Keep getting stutters I cannot explain.

I got a link cable to attempt to remedy this but I'm finding that I am forced to use Meta software to link via USB, which then layers with Steam VR and makes for a messy, laggy experience to the point that I cannot control or exit the Meta VR menu overlay if I open it.

I feel like I'm flying in the blind here so here's all the information I can provide. I just need someone to tell me what to do from the ground up here.

System Specs

MSI B450 Tomahawk
- Headset link cable connected into the "VR Ready" USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A port
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
32GB DDR4 @ 3200 MHz
Zotac 2070

Headset & Cable

Meta Quest 2
INIU 16ft VR Link Cable with Separate Charging Port, USB 3.0 to USB C Cable

Network Equipment

PC connected via CAT7 ethernet
Netgear Nighthawk RS100
- Received data via bridge mode from a Comcast XB7 which itself receives service from an NFKN11AEL ONT
- ~400Mbps up+down Xfinity internet but this shouldn't be relevant since this is dealing w/ local connections.

HELP! SteamVR is not letting me add any tracking.

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I recently got a full body tracking setup consisting of a Vive Focus Vision, Vive 3.0 trackers, 3 Vive 2.0 base stations, & a pair of Index controllers. SteamVR was absolutely not picking up my base stations whatsoever, and it definitely is not picking up any of my trackers or controllers. I did try my Quest 3S to see if the headset was the problem, but still, nothing works.

I have troubleshot every way I could think of or looked up. Obviously I've restart my PC & SteamVR multiple times. I have OpenVR-Space Calibrator, I have all of my base stations high up on the wall, all of the base stations are green & the trackers blink blue trying to connect. I do have dongles for all trackers & Index controllers. I use a wired connection typically in order to use my face & eye tracking, but I've also booted up SteamVR via Virtual Desktop as well with no wire to see if it'd work. I'm at a complete loss here.

Bluetooth settings on SteamVR are unavailable. I've looked up that I don't need it, that it's only to turn the base stations on/off, but I have a Lighthouse Manager installed as well to do that. I have tried "unpairall," I have attempted to edit the whole "activatemultipledrivers" from false to true, but even after I know I've saved it, when I've gone back to it though, it changed back to false. My drivers should all be up-to-date. Memory Integrity is forced off & I can't turn back on due to the "btwusb.sys" (photo attached).

If anyone can offer anything else to do, please advise. At this point I'm thinking I just need to throw my PC out & get a new one lol. I've even reset the whole PC except important files. I have attached photos & can provide more to help fix this issue if needed.

Quest 3 detecting any sight of hands as trigger pull.

hello hello,

Was trying to get back into sim battle with my quest 3 and HOTAS but any time the quest saw my hands (so any time i didn't literally put my hands behind my head) it would pull the trigger for primary and secondary weapons. anyone have this issue? i know its primarily a quest problem, but i figured it wouldn't help to ask all of you.

Thanks

Self-Promotion (Developer) Hide the Corpse is coming to SteamVR later this year!

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We’ve been working on Hide the Corpse for a long time, and seeing it make its way to Steam honestly means a lot to our team.

For anyone discovering the game for the first time: Hide the Corpse is a chaotic VR physics game where you have just a few minutes to hide Gus before the cops arrive. Drag him around, find creative hiding spots, clean up the evidence, and try to survive the police inspection. The physics make every attempt a little different and usually a lot more ridiculous.

We’re bringing the game to Steam in Q4 2026, and if you’ve enjoyed it on Quest or PSVR2, the best way to support us right now is simply to wishlist the game. It genuinely helps us more than you might think.

Wishlist it today: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3405120/Hide_The_Corpse/

Question/Support My meta quest 3s is using my computer audio output instead of his own.

2 Upvotes

Hi, I have a meta quest 3s and whenever I try to use steam VR, it just don’t use my meta quest 3s audio output or input, steam vr only uses my pc audio’s output/input, the only way I found to pass through this problem was to use virtual desktop, but then my games get a little delayed. Do someone knows how to make steam vr use my meta quest 3s audios instead of my computer’s?

There are games that, when I try to open them, show the startup screen with the image and "next" at the bottom (as usual), but then the image disappears and the "home" screen appears, taking me back to the home screen. Please help! This happens with the game "The Lab" and a few others, but not with many others.
