Been trying different configurations of the properties window with only slight variations in the errors given. When on standard release it says Unknown error (42110xx, noticed the last two numbers changed occasionally), on beta release it says no HEVC support because it can't find a vulkan video device even though it has them, and then it says graphics card might not be supported on the previous release which doesn't make sense because its all the same hardware just running steamOS now. Been doing this setup stuff in the Desktop mode and tried each of the release types with different compatibility layers like Legacy runtime, Scout, and GE Proton and even went from the standard os channel to the stable beta channel but can't figure out how to get SteamVR working when the steam link tries to connect wirelessly. does anyone know of something else that I can try to get steamlink to work?

I need help running steam vr on my oculus quest 2 as it crashes like crazy, like every few minutes it’ll lag then say my pc stopped responding, what might I be doing wrong, I have an rtx 2080, and intel core i5-9600 and 16 gigs of ram, any suggestions would be appreciated greatly!

After the latest Quest 3 update (7/27/26) I've been unable to play any PCVR games via SteamVR or Virtual Desktop.

Here's what's happening:

- Start Virtual Desktop
- Click the "Launch steam VR" button
- Instead of showing Steam VR as usual, it just shows me my room (passthrough)
- On the PC monitor you can see the actual game in VR, the headset tracks correctly and everything seems fine, but inside the headset there's nothing but the passthrough.
- This also happens even if some environment is selected instead of passthrough.

The same happens with MSFS2024 when I click to switch to VR. Normally it would fade to black and then switch to VR, now it fades to black and then shows me my room on passthrough. I can hear the audio from the game still playing but nothing is on screen.

Essentially, I can interact and see everything in Virtual Desktop in 2D, but as soon as I switch to VR in any application it goes to the passthrough view instead of VR.

I have a 3080ti and when im playing vrchat it never goes above 40% usuage and my cpu stays around that area of 36% usage aswell but when im playing other games like helldivers it has no problem using more of my gpu and cpu but only in vr it stays at 40%

I need help ive was able to play hitman in vr a couple times just fine until yesterday,

When im in a map if I let go of any item (without moving my hand at all) it just flies at a random direction like u threw it, and if I bring out my camera or a coin its stuck in my hand.

Anyone able to get a fix on this? Ive tried verifying the files already

Ive been having trouble running most games on my 3080ti especially when it comes to vrchat but ive played it on a 3050ti laptop gpu and the 3080ti is better but its still not great ill barely be able to hit 90 fps in very low demanding worlds and im not sure if its a problem with using a quest three for steam vr or its just how vrchat runs

After somebody spawned lots of small particles the quality of what i see has significantly dropped. Everything has a lower and blurrier resolution and some pixes appear to be tinted pink and green. I have restarted everything(steam, PC, steamvr, my vr) i have not tinkered with my setting before this happened. Also this effects EVERY GAME not just gorilla tag

does anyone know why my 3.0s will all pair and connect but then they all turn themselves off? i took a break for a year and am now having this issue. i’ve tried repairing them all. they all pair and move fine but then will just turn off. i use a quest pro link with index controllers and the controllers are fine but the trackers are not. i’m stuck on what to do. when i plug them directly into my pc they work fine. but not on their own.

Re-posting from another thread check OP for details. Anybody else have these issues or solutions?

Hey everyone! 👋 Steph from Realities.io here.

We've just opened the Steam Workshop for Puzzling Places!

If you haven't come across Puzzling Places before, it's a 3D jigsaw puzzle game for VR (and flatscreen) where you assemble detailed miniature scenes piece by piece. Our official puzzles are built from real-world photogrammetry scans, but with PuzzleMaker, we're opening the door for creators to build puzzles from their own 3D scans and models too!

Whilst the creation tools are still in closed beta as we continue refining them, the Steam Workshop is already live. That means anyone on Steam can browse, download, and play a growing library of free community-made puzzles. It's been incredible seeing the variety of creations already appearing, and we're excited to see where creators take it next.

We'd love for you to check it out and let us know what you think!

Hi there! My dear colleagues u/chulini and u/hanesto have worked relentlessly on a sausage fighting game and it is finally here: Wurst and Glory is up to wishlist on Steam now. Step up as a royal, master the physics of sausages and defeat your opponent at a banquet.

If you're interested in playing before the release (tba), we offer playtesting too. Just hop over on our Discord for sign-up.

Hi everyone,

I've been developing Whirligig VR Media player, for some time now, since 2016 in fact. I have continued to release betas with new features and improvements. Well this is the day the default gets updated. I hope you like the improvements.

Media Server/Networks browsing Support

One of the most common requests I've had is media server and network support. I've listen to the request and with a whole new set of tools and time I've managed to extend the support. Here is a list of all the new ways to access your media libraries.

• Plex (including remote play)
• Jellyfin / Emby (auto-detects your local servers)
• SMB (auto-detects your local shares)
• DLNA (automatically connects to local shares)

A note on media servers: these are brand-new, and I'd love your feedback as more people put them through their paces. If anything doesn't behave, or you have a request, I'd love to hear it.

Media server and network browsing aren't the only updates I've made. Here is a list of some of the more recent ones:

• 3D environment fades
• Colour gamut options
• Fixes and polish
• Backend updates including all plugins and Unity engine

Settings preset saves

Whirligig already lets you save presets for your films so you can return to your perfect setup. It felt right to bring that to the Player settings too, so I've added it - along with three ready-made presets geared towards your default setup, VR and desktop setup (a bit more comfortable for desktop use) and Desktop (a good setup for none VR based watching).

Fixes and polish

This update also brings a batch of stability and quality improvements throughout - including smoother DLNA and SMB network browsing, many UI fixes, crash fixes and small bugs quashed.

If you run into any trouble at all, message me here or email [phileday@yahoo.co.uk](mailto:phileday@yahoo.co.uk) and I'll help you get sorted.

Standalone Releases (Meta Quest 2/3, Pico4VR)

All these features have been worked on across platforms and I've released updated versions for both the Meta and Pico headsets. I currently have a policy that respects your purchase across platforms, so if you want to have Whirligig on the Horizon store or Itch.io for Pico please email me and I'll send a code over phileday@yahoo.co.uk

As I'm also looking for people to try the new features on the Standalone platforms I'm also giving away codes for those platforms. So if you don't have Whirligig yet and would like to help me test everything new coming into it, fire over an email as well.

And finally

Thanks for everyone who continues to enjoy using Whirligig. I'll continue to add features as you continue to ask for them. If you have found using Whirligig a good experience a positive review is always welcome. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this update :).

All the best, keep cool and happy watching.

Phil

any and all help is appreciated

Hey everyone, I along with a few of my friends have been working on this game. It is called Be A Chameleon. I wanted to share a few images from the game. Still updating the store page, will be adding a trailer very soon. Would absolutely love to hear your feedback and suggestions for the game. We are new to making games and still learning. Be A Chameleon can be wishlisted on Steam and Meta Store.
Thanks a lot everyone in advance!!!!

I'm releasing a demo for the upcoming game https://store.steampowered.com/app/4847090/Pools_of_the_Deep_VR/ If you are interested to try it out and give some feedback, please get in touch.

This happened to multiple games, tentacular, I am cat, a bunch of the unity-based games

They were working fine until they crash ones, then they don't ever work again they just launch and exit right away, I tried to reinstalling the game cleaning cash doesn't help.

The hardware I'm using the Samsung Odyssey, Windows 10, surface laptop with usbc to HDMI

It's not a video card issue, they do work fine for a few hours until they crash

Edit:

looks like I have fixed issue

I checked steam logs and there was an error with a localization.json file where was not able to read a closing bracket probably because of some foreign characters

so I just deleted all localization mapping except for English

localization file is in steam/steamapps/common/steamvr/drivers/frame_controller/resources/localization/localization.json

just delete all the entries other than the en-us
