What New Games Should I Get?

These are the games that I currently have for VR on Steam. Was wondering what other games you guys recommend based on the ones I have. I don't want any flatscreen to VR mods but if there's a flatscreen game with VR support that's fine.

Steam Frame split alignment between left/right eye when streaming?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone else had this issue? The left and right eye both show the correct view, but the right eye is off slightly, with the alignment feeling like it is 45 degrees slanted away from the eye.

Some things I have found:

- Only happens when streaming

- Seems to be related to super sampling, the higher the resolution the more likely this is to happen

- For me Underdogs works fine at 150% resolution, anything higher and the split alignment happens

- Seems to mostly happen with 2D elements in games, loading screens, menus etc. If you can squint past these and get into the game it looks fine

- I've recently found that Walkabout Minigolf has this rendering issue even in the '3D' portion of the game

- The game looks fine in mirroring (remote play back to PC)

- If I open the dashboard, it renders correctly with the game image still rendered incorrectly behind

Things I have tried that did nothing:

- Turning off advanced super sampling

- Uses betas of all 3 (SteamOS, Steam client, SteamVR)

- Trying different resolutions from 150-300%

- Setting `enableLinuxVulkanAsync` as true | false in `steamvr.settings`

My setup:

- Arch Linux on 7.2.9

- Using the rtw89 DKMS module from [tjhowse](https://github.com/tjhowse/rtw89)

- I'm doing multi-link streaming and using the `holo-realtek-firmware-toggles` polkit helper from Valve

Anyone else having this issue and have any work arounds? It's driving me crazy

Question/Support Valve Index Controller Alternatives?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I've been eying up the index for years at this point, as the frame never really interested me. Now that the price ran down, I panic bought a headset and base station without realizing the controllers weren't included, and all the right-hand controllers are now worth 500 dollars by scalpers. What kind of controllers would made a good pairing with the index? Should I just wait for the steam frame controllers to drop?

Question/Support Can't get Alien Isolation (Grand)MotherVR to work

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Proud owner of a new SteamFrame but not without its hickups. I've installed the proper version of MotherVR and the latest version of GrandmotherVR. When booting up Alien: Isolation I get the normal 2d black screen. I go to options, turn on SteamVR and restart the game. Now I get an error message saying I have to boot up SteamVR first for the mod to work. However, when I start my SteamFrame it automatically starts up SteamVR.

I did use the reg file (for the Win11 fix).

Very frustrating, does anyone else know what to do?

Another problem, I have to do a series of weird things for the audio to work in Propagation Paradise Hotel. So far it's a lot of tinkering to get things going...

I'm having a problem with accessing my SteamVR settings

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.

News Article Rift S, liberated: fully working on Linux. Native SteamVR experience, no Oculus software or Meta account(demo video is on github)

11 Upvotes

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

Question/Support Performance drops when I start a game

2 Upvotes

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
