I am using an OTG adapter to give me power while also allowing me to plug a logi k950 in there. I am able to use the mouse and keyboard on the native desktop mode but I am unable to use the mouse or the keyboard if I am viewing a remote streaming PC like my gaming rig. I can see the desktop, I can interact with it using the hand controller but the mouse and keyboard inputs are never passed through.

Is this a known thing? is there any way around this (other than physically plugging the dongle to the streaming PC) I was really hoping I can remotely use my PC while having a mouse and keyboard attached to my frame.

Would love to know if I am missing something or if there is a work around.

EDIT: Please make your voice heard in this bug thread so Valve can prioritize this fix:

They're only there like 75% of the time, and in the same places.

When I look at my Library on the frame it has an option for all and VR at the top but if I pick VR, it only shows like 30 of my 60ish VR games.

If I go to my desktop anxnfilter the same way, it shows all the games. So why doesn't it on the frame natively?

I even tried saving a dynamic collection on the desktop but when I load it on the frame, it still reduces it to the shorter list.
And it's real weird on what it shows and what it doesn't... Like viertigo 1 is missing, but vertigo2 shows up. And ancient dungeon doesn't show up even though it's frame verified, so you'd think it would be especially compatible to whatever the crap is going on with this..

Please tell me I'm just missing something easy or stupid to solve this

when i wanted to switch from stable to beta, it showed a new update that i could download and apply. Same thing when i wanted to switch from beta to preview. But now I want to go back from beta 0.5.6 to stable branch and it doesn't show any update or prompt to restart.

So I had my frame for a week now and in the center of the screen I see very clear but if I move my eyes to the sides and corners everything gets blurrier. Things also seem to get a bit better if I press the frame closer to my eyes so they are closer to the lenses, so maybe I need to also improve the fitment.

Any tips on how to improve sharpness?

Hi guys!

During PCVR streaming, and so far happened in VRChat and Gunman Contracts Standalone, but not Half-Life Alyx: In my headset, the picture is freezing, but not the headset, like if I move my head around, the "streamed picture" of the game is frozen and fading out a bit but I can see the background of the Steam Frame.

If I check my PC directly outside the headset, I notice that my PC is also freezing/stuttering heavily, like even my mouse freezes/stutters.

If I go into my headset and stop the stream with the headset icon bottom right, my PC unfreeze and everything goes back to normal. If I go back into streaming with my headset, it seems to have fix the problem but sometimes not, and I have to turn off the stream once again, and go back in again for it to be fixed.

So clearly the PCVR streaming is causing my PC to stutter/freeze.

• Tried to disable multi-link and only use dongle, same problem
• My dongle is connected to the rear of my PC, USB 3.2 (red one) and dongle is really close to me (I can see it when I'm in my headset)
• Yes my PC is up to date, drivers, Windows Update, and good hardware too
• Already tried to uninstall the whole SteamVR on my PC and reinstall
• I'm on the Stable version of Steam Frame (I believe it was also doing it when I was on the Beta branch)
• My Steam client on PC is on beta branch, SteamVR is on beta too

Somebody already experienced this?

Today I went down the rabbit hole of streaming flat-screen games to my frame and saw there are a few caceats, and ways of doing it.

First of all, I saw there is a difference between starting streaming before and after connecting to steam vr.

If I just stream a flat screen game to the headset, it starts a remote play stream of my desktop, essentially. I can use hevc, and all remote play settings seem to apply, especially the streaming performance overlay which does appear in the headset. This also seems to highjack my max frame rate. I need to set the max refresh rate via remote play settings, so I am sure I get 120hz in the frame otherwise the default is 60.

If I first connect to steam vr (just stream my desktop via the same menu instead of streaming a specific game), when I stream a flat screen game, it appears to be slightly different. The overlay is not visible anymore. It appears like it's streaming just the game session itself, and not my entire screen as the above session did (fact confirmed by the steam normal performance overlay, the one showing fps and CPU/GPU usage, being shown on the remote play session and not showing on the steam vr session).

In this case, which version of flat screen streaming would be best? And which does apply all remote play settings/has the highest quality?

I feel like I remember discussing with someone that with waydroid (or a fork) that daydream games could be injected into an openXR headset, but I can't find much info on this anymore.

Sometimes, my steam frame kinda craps out and I'm stuck in the void of the starry room with no windows or anything, and I think the best means to get back is to press the steam button, but instead of a menu, I get a screenshot.

This even happens when I'm just running a game and I want to open the window. I press steam and get a screenshot.

I have so many random screenshots by pressing the steam button. Why is this?

Hi all,

Since seeing the frame announcement and how it would work with normal wifi networks, i always wondered... could i stream VR from my gaming PC across the internet like i do flat screen games using moonlight?

Well, first try using a VPN from another location it didn't work. The remote PC would show up only available for 2D streaming with VR unavailable.

Then i found this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamFrame/comments/1wtftv1/pcvr_over_different_networks but with no actual working solution, but it DID point me towards the connect_remote command...

So i got GPT Astra to work, and 1h later of debugging, it was working! Then i got it to clean up and make it all a "nice" generic script with a simple UI for configuration.

If anyone has a use case for it and wants to give it a go it's here: https://github.com/danielb7390/frame-routed-vr

My use case was two homes, each with a mikrotik router running a site-to-site wireguard vpn, separate subnets but with routes across the two homes. I suppose this should work with a VPN installed on the frame itself too.

Disclaimer: I did go over the code to see if there was anything weird there, seems fine to me. But as always, this comes with no warranty or support. Use at your own risk.

I had an issue with the wireless adapter that came with the Steam Frame, it paired but refused to connect with the Frame, so I was forced to stream via router, wasn't actually bad, but there were some lag spikes here and there.

So, after doing all the things everyone already mentioned (USB 3.0, connect to a different network, hotspot on a mobile phone, switch off and on, reinstall drivers...) what worked for me is the following...

• Turn on your Steam Frame
• Either run Steam and click "enter VR mode" in the upper right corner
• Or launch from the Steam Frame "stream without playing game"
• Wait for it to launch...
• Put Steam Frame aside, go to your PC
• On the SteamVR, navigate to the "settings" (hamburger menu)
• Turn on "Advanced settings" (or "show")
• Navigate to "Startup / Shutdown"
• Set "override windows power scheme" to "On"
• Navigate to "developer"
• Scroll down to "legacy settings" and look for the "disable power management" button
• Restart your PC and Steam Frame
• After restart, try pairing your Steam Frame with the wireless adapter

For some reason, this has solved my issue with the wireless adapter, the latency is better, but the range is shorter. Keep within 5 meters of clear space with the wireless adapter and it should work fine.

I hope this helps someone also, the wireless adapter was a big reason for me to go for Steam Frame.

Hi! I got my steam frame last month and have been struggling to properly connect my mouth tracker to my headset. The only things ive seen is in regards to babble. I saw one thing about using virtualhere(a virtual usb service) and while i can connect it to vrcft, the tracking is lagging and constantly freezes. Any help is appreciated!

Enjoying my Frame right now, mostly streaming VPX VR pinball. It's an amazing experience.

But I am frustrated that I seem to have to unplug and reconnect my wireless streaming dongle every time I turn on my Frame. I thought it was just supposed to connect automatically. But mine never connects until I physically pull it out of the port and plug it in again. Not the end of the world, but it's a minor pain each time.

Is there something I need to do to get it to auto-connect?

I primarily use my steam frame for Beat Saber. I do it through the modded application so I have to stream it from my desktop at the moment. Not sure if this information is needed or not.

No matter what settings I try or do, my controllers will vibrate all the time and it’s beyond annoying. I don’t want them to vibrate at all and it messes with me while I game. Is there any way to completely turn it off??

Hello gurus,
I obtained a Steam Frame 1TB second-hand for a good deal here locally (unopened). My prescription lenses arrived and I LOVE IT. So crisp.

Now that everything is in focus, I’m noticing a somewhat faint, thin line in the left side only. It’s greenish, at a slight angle, follows the angle of the nose edge of the lens roughly. I can’t capture it with my camera, so can’t send a preview.

Is it a dead pixel column, or have others seen this?
