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.

When I launch, the iVRy driver connects to the iVRy app on my iPhone (over Wi-Fi and over USB), but the app never replies. The driver then stays blocked inside SteamVR's device setup for about 17 seconds until SteamVR's watchdog kills vrserver. SteamVR shows error 301, and the next start is in safe mode with driver_ivry blocked. It happens on every attempt.

Setup

iVRy Driver for SteamVR 1.1.9.13 (Steam, public branch)

SteamVR 2.17.10 (public branch)

iVRy iOS app 1.1.9.2 (current App Store version)

iPhone 13, iOS 26.6, in a phone VR viewer

Windows 11 Home (build 26200) laptop: Core i7-12700H, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU (driver 617.14) plus Intel Iris Xe. vrserver, vrcompositor and vrmonitor are set to "High performance" in Windows graphics settings.

No other phones, Android devices or PC VR headsets connected. Windows Defender only, no third-party antivirus or firewall.

Steps

Open the iVRy app on the iPhone (unlocked, in the foreground).

Press Launch on "iVRy Driver for SteamVR" in Steam.

Result: "SteamVR Fail: A key component of SteamVR isn't working properly (301)"

Phone: Waiting for connection

Network checks (Wi-Fi)

Phone and PC are on the same subnet, the phone answers ping, the Windows network profile is Private, and inbound allow rules exist for vrserver.exe and StartSteamVR.exe.

Bonjour 3.1.0.1 is running on the PC. The app advertises _ivry_display._tcp, _ivry_control._tcp and _ivry_motion._tcp, and all three resolve to the phone.

While SteamVR was starting, vrserver.exe held ESTABLISHED TCP connections to the phone on the display, motion and control ports the app advertised, plus a fourth port (probably audio). One more attempt stayed in SYN_SENT (probably the controller service).

A separate test client can also connect to the display, control and motion ports. The app sends nothing until it is spoken to, which I assume is expected.

So the network path works. The app accepts the driver's connections but never seems to answer, and the driver stays blocked in AddPendingDevicesToSharedState until SteamVR's watchdog (about 21 s) kills vrserver.

Already tried

[*]App open, unlocked and in the foreground before pressing Launch

[*]"Trust This Computer" accepted on the iPhone

[*]Starting SteamVR from the iVRy driver's Launch button

[*]USB, and Wi-Fi with the phone's IP entered in the driver settings

[*]Re-enabling driver_ivry after each safe-mode block. It fails the same way every time.

Questions

Is driver 1.1.9.13 with iOS app 1.1.9.2 and SteamVR 2.17.10 a supported combination?

Does the app need anything on the phone (a tap or a prompt) before it sends its device info?

I can email the full vrserver.txt and DxDiag if that helps. Thanks!

When i like connect to my laptop on the same wifi it works for a second then disconnect then works for a second over and over

Hi, I'm currently using my Moto G32 Snapdragon 680 for VR, and it works great. The problem is that the image isn't sharp enough, since the maximum resolution in iVRy is 1920x864, while my phone's resolution is 2400x1080p. In JPEG, I can select 2400x1080p, but it's very choppy. In H.265, I can't go higher than 1920x864.

The thing is, 2-3 years ago I could use 2400x1080p via USB or Wi-Fi, but now I can't go higher than 1920x864. Why is this?

Furthermore, in h264 it turns out black. And it worked fine 2-3 years ago, 
I can only use h265 or jpeg.

How do i use my keyboard without buying Driver4VR? I tried some drivers and they didnt work and asking on Reddit was my last resort 😔

Hi, I need help setting up a PlayStation VR1 on PC using iVRy and SteamVR.
The problem is that when I connect the HDMI through the PS VR Processing Unit, the display becomes zoomed in and I can only see the bottom-right corner of the desktop.
When I connect the PC HDMI directly to the monitor, everything works normally.
I’m using Windows 11.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Is there ANY way I can connect the Gear VR controller to work on the iVRy program for Android phones? I was wondering this because im wanting to buy a Gear VR with a controller because of the amazing lens, and I was wondering if I could use it like a normal VR controller, like, point at things and select them, shoot, etc.. because its the only thing I can afford rn.

DONT TELL ME TO SAVE UP FOR AN ACTUAL STANDALONE HEADSET, EVEN IF USED. I CAN'T AFFORD IT. SIMPLE.

Yes i know that the minimum is a gtx 970 but im just curious that will my pc run it or no, maybe ill get an error or just a message telling me to buy a dgpu. I just wanna ask if its possible

yo im having problem setting up my psvr to my pc.

i have a psvr, motion controller and the ps4 camera but i cant get the ivry to work properly can someone help me?

camera doesnt shows in the psmoveserviceex. the motion controller, ive already pair it but it just not recognized by ivry

if you dig around in old posts and comments from a few years ago there are mentions of a native linux port being developed, but other than those few mentions theres no other info on it. i couldnt find any mentions of a cancellation. is it still in development?

i have been testing out Ivry KRVR and ALVR and one thing i like so far with IVRY is the simplicity of it so far . one issue i’m having is when i’m sitting in my car and just move my head a little bit the image bounces even by just tapping my apple vision pro . any one know a fix for this ?

iVry is available for just about every platform, so Mr. Developer I assume you'll be considering porting to the Steam Frame?

Do you see the Frame as potentially enabling a substantial improvement in wireless PCVR streaming performance? Either through the dedicated USB wifi connection or foveated streaming (though you've stated before this isn't a huge benefit).

Thanks!

Saw this on Discord. Does this give a path to add to iVry?

Can somebody link me to a tutorial on how to connect joycons to ivry?

First of all big thanks to the developer. Without your work there wouldn't be a way to use PSVR1 as a steamVR headset. Now I don't know if this happens only when the PSVR1 is connected to a PC, but I can only get a good image if the lenses are on the furthest setting away from my eyes. As I move the lenses closer, the up, left and right side all begin to warp and distort. It's very hard to explain what it is and it almost feels like as your eyes get closer and FOV gets bigger, you start to see things that you aren't supposed to see. I have scoured the internet and found exactly 0 post about this issue, and btw I own a psvr2 as well and it is not a problem at all on that headset. You can move the lenses as close to your eyes as you can, you get bigger FOV and 0 downsides. So is this an ivry problem, or does PSVR do this on the PS4 as well?

as reported, 6dof via AR on my phone teleports and shifts frequently, idk how to minimize or get rid of it entirely, i expected it to be more reliable, idk if my room doesnt have enough anchor points or if it's my phone or anything else. any tip or recommendation helps!!

I wanted to try roblox with VR without a headset, so I've installed this app for it. I've already enabled USb tethering on my phone and connected to my PC wiht USB, but it isn't able to connect. It asks me the device's IP adress after some time, but I'm pretty sure that's only if I'm connecting it through wifi.

Is there anything I missed on doing? Why doesn't it work?

I have a psvr1 and am trying to get it to work with steamvr. So I downloaded iVRy with the psvr dlc and installed steamvr. I can get steamvr to show on my psvr screen (I'm using de VR direct mode), but I cannot get my mouse/keyboard/controller to work in the menu of SteamVR. That means I'm just stuck looking at the main SteamVR menu. Does anybody else have this problem? Anything I can do to fix this? Thanks!

edit: figured it out. Something weird with SteamVR itself, has nothing to do with iVRy VR. This post helped fix the issue:

i don't have a controller :(

Hello, I'm trying to use the PSVR1 headset from the PS4 and I'm trying to plug it and to play on my pc with it but the problem is that, as soon as I try to open it, it gives me an error...What do I have to do? I think I followed the right instructions but still I can't play...

phone is LG tribute monarch

I want to use my PS Move controllers with my two PS Eye cameras as lighthouses, but I don't want to pay the $20 for Drive4VR. I wanted to know if PSMoveServiceEx Tracker can track the controllers in 6-DOF and emulate the inputs like a Vive controller with a touchpad to play viveport. Does it do this, or does it only track them?
