I couldn't find a clear answer. Should I just leave the oculus quest settings and adjust the steam vr settings instead?

Hello, i bought a meta quest 2 headset, and tried to play NMS.
WHen trying to play through steam vr im having extreme stuttering to the point of unplayability, like it will stutter, freeze, lag and even crash at times. I have tried on the lowest graphics settings but nothing seems to work. Other games like subnautica is running fine, so im thinking it might be an obstacle with NMS.
My settings are:
CPU - 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700F
GPU - 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (ZOTAC International)
RAM - 16 GB

Does anyone know what to do? NMS runs fine on PC but has huge issues on quest 2 VR.

So I’ve had a quest 2 and have been playing it and using it just fine but today I got a quest 3s brought it home got steam link on it and for some reason no microphone audio is coming through I’ve tried through steam setting I’ve enabled the app permissions for it the audio restarted everything after doing so and still nothing

I'm seeking help with the display error lines that pop up in steam VR performance graph, its so annoying cuz it only gets worse the longer I play, which sucks because before even launching a game I'm experiencing these lag spikes and the display getting super pixelated and freezing w stutters, and its funny cuz I got a 6700xt, video settings are default in my oculus and steam VR, stand alone quest games run smooth as butter, stand alone PC games that I use my vr in also run smooth as butter, its when the 2 are paired together that it becomes an impossibility to play any game at all, its like my system can hardly run steam vr at all just in the home page. Any help would be nice. Specs: 6700xt, ryzen 7 5700x, Quest 3s

UPDATE ITS ONLY IN NEWLY DOWNLOADED GAMES, half life alyx, it has been installed for a while, hotdogs horse shoes and hand grenades, the forest, all of those have been downloaded for a while, i am cat, pokerstars, pavlov are all new games i’ve never played, its only happening to games i’ve just installed. how tf do i fix this

specs, rtx 4070, ryzen 5 5600, 24gb ddr4, quest 3 via link cable

i first noticed this in pokerstars, i downloaded it and tried to play but there was horrible stuttering, it was like a loss of tracking, however, when i would open the steam vr menu everything went normal, as soon as i closed the menu it went directly back to jumping around as i would move my head. i played subnautica in vr later and it ran perfectly fine, so i was sure it was a pokerstars issue, but then i played i am cat and pavlov and it went back to the same thing

please any suggestions would be amazing. i just wanna play pavlov :(

Playing any game with the VIVE PRO results in the right controller “disconnecting”, the right vive pro controller stays green however loses tracking in the game.

SteamVR(previous, normal, and beta) and windows has been reinstalled twice.

The headset, hub, and controllers and base stations have been replaced.

The controller pairs well, plays well and you can get around 40 minutes of gameplay until either controller just stops functioning even after pairing them again and restarting windows.

We’ve tried matching the “VALVe” logo basestations aswell but it still causes tracking issues.

The rig is a: I7-9700K 32GB DDR4 2070 4TB M.2 And we have two identical computers which only one has the issue.

With a VIVE PRO bundle The base stations have been shown in the image for extra context because of the varying weird issues.

Hi, I'm (14) fairly new to VR and I recently bought a PC. Originally, I tried posting on r/HTC_Vive after the same error kept appearing when I tried connecting my headset (mainstream htc VIVE) but deleted the post after it randomly worked??? I don't know what I did, but it let me play.

I ended up unplugging the two base stations and headset from the wall (I don't know if you should do that or not, I just don't want energy overconsumption or whatever (also the linkbox cables plugged into the pc remained)) so I could try troubleshoot ANOTHER issue I was having with the sound (no sound coming through the headset)

I decided to test the headset again, this time with headphones, so I replugged everything in the exact same way it was before, and now the error's back. I've made sure the cables are secure and is connected properly, but the same error comes up everytime I click reset headset so maybe I haven't tried hard enough.

Only real thing to note here is I'm using a hdmi to displayport cable running from the linkbox to my PC, but I don't know if that'll help, as it did work.

Any help is greatly appreciated and I'm happy to share photos for further clarification! I will keep trying but I am not having a good time. I just want to play Job Simulator.

Hi everybody!
I was one of the luckyest to obtain a 5080 at launch day, but my lucky did not last to long.
Since I changed my GPU from 3070 to 5080, in VR the stuttering/Frame skip/Purple spikes/Dropped Frames are horrendous.
I dont know if is due to the driver version (572.16) and we need to wait, or is the windows 11 version (24H2) or the **** weather affecting my 1200€ card.
All the possible solution I tried are:

• Disabling all RGB software.
• Clean install with DDU of the drivers.
• Disabling Hardware accelerated graphics scheduling.
• Disabling any performance software capturer, like fpsVR, afterburner, nvidia overlay...
• Enabling/disabling AMD EXPO, and any posible overclock and undervolt in the MB.
• Disabling SteamVR Home.
• Uninstalling any Audio driver.
• Clean Windows 11 install from zero and only installing SteamVR.

None worked. Any person has the same experience or any information or extra solution??
Thanks!

Edit: I also tried to install a clean Windows 11 in another drive from zero, and only installing SteamVR. The problem persist.

My main plan is to buy a VR headset around a year from now when the occulus quest 4 comes out but I've been looking at games and some stuff have come to my attention. So theres a lot of factors on decidint which Headset is the best one to buy: The games that are supported, The graphics, The amount of playtime per full battery etc.

I just wanted to ask you guys what you would advise me to do? Since there are a lot of different headsets. I do plan on/have already bought games on Steam.

Oh btw if it helps there are the games that I will definitely play/plan on playing:
Half-Life: Alyx, TWD:S&S, Pavlov, Boneworks, Waltz of the Wizard, VR Giants, Bonelab, UNDERDOGS, Arizona Sunshine, Job Simulator, Rec Room, Thrill of The Fight, Blade and Sorcery, Into the Radius, DCS World Steam Edition.

As the title suggests, SteamVR just suddenly started to act weird. It no longer opens automatically when I launch a VR game, and it gives the "SteamVR has encountered a critical error" message upon startup. Any idea of how I can fix this?

So I just recently built a new pc and with EndeavourOS and KDE Plasma, which the Steam page that talks about VR and Linux says it supports, but every time I try to launch it the steamVR app says "Waiting..." I get this error:

The lights on my Index are green, so it's getting a signal, but the displays are off. Is there a step I'm missing? I'm 100% certain that I've ended all VR processes beforehand, and I've tried enabling OpenXR runtime, same thing.

I have a Meta Quest 3 and when I launch Steam Link my games have no audio. Home has no audio either. I don't understand this because Steam Streaming Speakers and Steam Streaming Microphone are both enabled and Speakers is set as default device, yet I still get this window when SteamVR is open (posted)

My headset is updated, and I have latest Nvidia drivers.

Specs are as followed:

Ryzen 5 5500

RX 6600 xt

2x8 2666mhz RAM

This is the graph in STEAM VR HOME

I have an aftermarket link cable.

Half Life: Alyx is borderline unplayable, blurry, delayed, inconsistent.

Payday 2, sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit

Propogation, perfectly fine.

Job sim, perfectly fine.

Beatsaber, Blurry and random lag spikes.

I do not have a screenshot rn but when i play payday 2, the entire bar is orange almost all the way to the top, just flat. All updated drivers, newest version of windows, High performance mode on windows. 100% resolution in steamvr overlay and 1.0x in meta quest link app on the quest 2.

I'm playing a game which has SteamVR actions for the sticks as two independent Vector1 actions for X and Y, is there any way I could bind both to a stick?

just got a valve index and i set it up and now everytime i load into a game 3-5 seconds after they launch in vr the game will close its self and now im back inside the steam vr home screen does anyone know a fix for it? its pretty frustrating i have tried different games reinstalling games and even my drivers i don't know what the problem would be any support would be helpful!

Can anyone please tell me how to fix my Touch Plus controller showing up as a Rift controller?

I have a Quest 3 and use Steam Link to connect to PCVR wirelessly. When I connect the headset, the audio devices switch to Steam Streaming Speaker and Steam Streaming microphone automatically, so that PC sounds will be played on the headset properly.

But when I quit SteamVR after taking off my headset, the default audio device always seems to stay stuck on Steam Streaming Speaker and doesn't revert to whatever it was on before (either my headphones if they're plugged in, or speakers otherwise).

I've fiddled about with setting default speakers in a certain order with different combinations of devices connected, but can't seem to figure out anything that works perfecly. Anyone else had and able to solve this issue?

I use Wireguard as a VPN protocol and sometimes I want to open it from VR, however when I open its window, the whole desktop stops responding to mouse clicks until I press Win+Tab or Alt+Tab on a virtual keyboard and select a different window. This happens on both default SteamVR desktop mode and Desktop+. Without VR it of course works, and so do other apps from inside VR desktop mode.

Have you ever encountered such problem with this or another app and what could be the reason/solution for it? The headset is Valve Index, OS is Windows 10.

Just got the Metro/Arizona bundle last night for PS5

What else?

Hey guys, long story short,

I'm trying to lose weight and have started walking IRL again. While I've been committed so far, it's getting way too hot here in Australia, and I'm starting to wane due to the hot weather. So, I want to try physically walking in SkyrimVR, moving from city to city. I would get a KatWalk, but I don't have the money for it at the moment. So, I'm looking at my options.

Things I need to consider:

• I don't get much motion sickness, but I can't use smooth turning, or I will get motion sick.
• My play area isn't huge. It's roughly 2.2m x 2.67m square, with a 1.54 x 2.17 meters rug in the middle (I used my iPhone's measure app, so I've only got the rough size).

What I am currently trying (using OVR Advanced Settings):

• I tried auto-turning, and it was good, but rather than snapping in a consistent direction or snapping in the area with more space, it sometimes snaps the wrong way, causing me to go in the direction where there is little to no space.
• I tried auto redirected walking, which worked well on the highest setting, but I got motion sickness when it tried to redirect me, and when I set it to lower and lower... it kinda became useless.
• Right now, I am testing manual redirected walking where, if I reach the end of the play space, I press a button, turn in a direction, and let go, causing the environment to snap to what I was looking at. I think so far this is the best option, but I feel like it's too abrupt.

Anyone got any ideas?

Hello everyone,

I'm a VR noob, but for a work-related project, I'm trying to create a VR room for a showcase. I've LIDAR scanned the room and cleaned it up on blender so thats all fine. the problem I've run into is when trying to go into SteamVR. I keep running into error 309 and when i sort that out by opening the vrserver and vrstartup .exe files in administrator, I get thrown up with it not detecting the headset at all, even when using iVRy or TrinusPSVR. finally, if it all goes well detects the headset I try to go to the workshop to create the environment, i get handed the error code vriniterror_init_hmdnotfound. someone please for the love of god help me
