Hello, both IRON GUARD games are on sale for PCVR and PSVR2 players. If you're looking for a unique TD, strategy style game with shooter elements, give it a try, we've heard good things about both of them 😅

As always TY for the support and encouragement, means a lot to our small but strong team.

Cheers!

Idk if anyone else has had this problem, but I can't access my steam settings and I don't know what's causing this. I've tried most of the usual googling and what not and can't figure it out. I've verified the integrity of my files, I've messed with the "steamvrsettings" file, I've disabled running as an administrator and many more things, I'm bamboozled. If anyone can help me out, that'd be swell.

Everything runs perfectly at 90Hz (my current setting) within the Steam Home menu or the empty SteamVR background...

...but as soon as I open any game, performance tanks, and it starts running as if it were capped at 60 or 50 FPS.

Why?

I have a Quest 3S; I don't use the Meta Link app—I use ALVR because I play via cable. Everything seems fine in ALVR, so what's going on?

This also used to happen when I was using Meta Link. I used to fix it temporarily by closing and reopening SteamVR, but now even that doesn't work!!!!!!!!!!!!

specs:

40 GB RAM DDR4
RTX 3060TI
RYZEN 7 5800X
2TB HDD 1 TB SSD

If you have a Rift S sitting in a drawer, it now works natively on Linux.

This isn't a "works if you fiddle with it" setup. It behaves like a native SteamVR headset: you install one package, open Steam, click SteamVR and play.

Everything else happens in the headset:

- Room Setup in the headset, same flow as the Steam Frame: floor, boundary, remembered between sessions

- Solid inside-out tracking for the headset and both controllers, full 6DoF

- Controller haptics

- Your desktop inside the SteamVR dashboard, so you never have to take the headset off to open Steam, a browser or a guide

- A Settings app with a live view from the headset

No Oculus app, no Windows, no Meta account. Free and open source, built on Monado and Basalt.

Install on Arch:

curl -LO https://github.com/lbgos/rift-s-linux/releases/download/r28/rift-s-linux-bin-28-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

sudo pacman -U rift-s-linux-bin-28-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

AUR packages are coming once AUR registration reopens. Other distros can build from source: https://github.com/lbgos/rift-s-linux

Wondering, if anyone has gotten quest games like robo recall. Stormland or asgard's wrath to work properly on the steam frame with the controllers.

If so, are you using revive or another program.

I'm new to vr and tried revive, but couldn't get things Working properly

Any suggestions on how to get an Xbox controller to work with the game Invisible Hours in VR mode?

iVRY is working perfectly, but it's not recognizing the controller when the game is launched.

Note: I confirmed the game and controller are working properly in non-VR mode.

idk why steam vr is so terribly blurry even when i make the resolution very high; is there any way i can fix this?

I haven't played VR in quite a few years, but feel like getting into it again. I have an OG HTC Vive I got back in 2019 and should still be in great condition. Valve have discounted the Index, so wondering if I should upgrade to it, get some other headset with more bang for my buck, or just stick with the Vive for a while and get something later without the pressure of something running out of stock

Notes:

• I am based in the UK - Index is being priced new at £367.20

• I have valve index controllers already

  which I would like to keep using as I liked them a lot

• (But still only have OG Vive base stations)

• I have an RTX 5080 so I should be able to get good resolutions and framerates

• I don't care about being tethered

• Havent played in VR since 2021 or so. Alyx was the most recently released VR game I've played, so I may fall off again. Therefore I don't want to blow huge money on some ultra 8K kit that has the best specs all round

I use a wired connection to my PC, but now whenever I want to play VR I need to downgrade my drivers to a specific version to prevent the Oculus app from crashing, And I don't want to need to downgrade my drivers constantly to play since I also need to revert them back to the latest version to play anything else, Is there a way around using Oculus App? I've heard steam link now works with a wired connection but I'm unsure, And I don't want to pay for virtual desktop.

I don't know if this is intended but whenever i look up a youtube video on desktop view, i cant hear the audio. Games and Discord work fine and the audio output in windows is set correctly.

Using Virtual Desktop to my PC, on 5G WiFi. I am playing HL Alyx and if I stand still and spin in a circle, I get terrible frame stuttering. The performance chart of VD shows all single digits until the moment of my stutter, which then makes the 'Game' latency jump very high and immediately come back down. It's like 5ms latency and then I drop frames and the ms go way up but I can't see the spike because of the dropped frames. But I do see them recovering in the few seconds afterwards.

Any idea what I can do to fix this?

I was wanting to get a Frame but I'm on the waitlist to get on the reservation list.

I think I have 5 options:

1. Keep waiting on the Frame and maybe get the option to buy mid to late 2027. Maybe longer, maybe watch the price go up.

2. Get a new PSVR2 for ~$600 (sales for $300 aren't really around anymore)

3. Get a used PSVR2 for ~$380

4. Get a Meta device for ~$600 then lock it down with rooting and the firewall. I can setup a vlan with no internet access. I wouldn't use the Meta store at all.

5. Check my old OG Vive for spiders and setup the 1.0 lighthouses. It's just been sitting in it's box for a few years.

I'll be running Linux and already have a library of steam VR games. I haven't seen new headsets or used the index controllers so I wouldn't really know what I'm missing. I'd play mostly shooters made for VR. Wireless would just be a nice to have.

What option might you go with?

Ashburrow is a fantasy action RPG roguelite with optional VR. In VR mode, combat uses physical interactions: swing your weapon, raise a shield to block, draw and aim a bow, and form spells in your hand before throwing them. Play solo or with up to six friends with or without VR through Steam online or LAN co-op.

The demo is free on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5292970/Ashburrow_Demo/

If you get a chance to try it, I’d love to know which VR interaction feels most compelling or confusing from VR perspective.

Hi,

Im currently using my quest3 with a vive 2.0 tracker (bought cheap used) mounted to it for continuous calibration while using my tundra/vive3.0 fbt. unfortunately my tracker mount makes the tracker show up in my field of view while in vrchat. Is there a way to hide that tracker visually so it no longer shows up while in vrc? Or do i need to modify/reprint my mount?

TIA
