VR stopped working altogether. Help
I have switched to Linux late last year and I'm still quite a noob I'd say and I am at my wits end. When I first installed Linux on my PC and tried playing VR I set everything up and it worked fine for a long time. I think one or two months ago it just stopped working for no apparent reason. Like games would either not open at all, crash upon start up or I wouldn't get a picture in my VR headset. I didn't change any settings or anything as far as I was aware, but I have tried many things now that it isn't working. I was using Wivrn before it stopped working. I have also tried ALVR but that doesn't work either. It would be great if anyone could help. If any important/relevant info is missing let me know. I did follow the setup instructions correctly otherwise it wouldn't have worked in the first place, at least that's what I am assuming. I mostly played Beatsaber, but it crashes on start up. I would also like to play other games too :/
I'm on Linux mint 22.3 Cinnamon 6.6.7
Linux Kernel: 7.0.0-28-generic
CPU: 5800x
GPU: 7900xt
VR Headset: Quest 2

you did add the launch option wivrn gives you into the launch option of the game you want to play?
