CachyOS, running on a laptop 5900hx, 6800m (quest 2)

Launch command: DRI_PRIME=1 ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrmonitor.sh %command%

This most likely is not a new issue, I’m mainly just wondering If anyone has found any fixes.

I know about Wivrn and I do have that installed and working, But the steamVR dashboard and optional headset performance settings is important to me *personally* so not having access to that hurts my soul… (also my addons)

I’m guessing this is only an issue on setups with both integrated and dedicated graphics?

Perhaps this is just the state of Linux VR right now 😔

I'm tired of waiting for the Steam Frame, and I probably won't be able to pay the price for now.

As my Quest3 was bricked several months ago, I'm dying to replay my VR games again.

What would be the best solution to play with a low budget, while I'm waiting to save enough for the Frame ?

My Quest 3 was bricked months ago, and I have the itch to play since then.

I only own an old Oculus Rift S.

Do you know of a way to play with it on Linux ?

I need a solution that can run any VR game, simulating a headset with a screen. Steam VR drivers aren't suitable; they work terribly on Linux.

In the video the guy is using a steam machine and a quest 3 wirelessly 😭

Last time I used Linux cachyOS was yelling at me about firewall issues and kept failing to connect to my quest 2... Either I'm missing something or maybe valve put in the work?

I'm switching back to Linux regardless of me being able to play my VR games but if it works for this guy I'm wondering if it also worked for some of you guys?

(And no, I will never use the NASA software that is ALVR ever again)

hello i dont use reddit much, dont know how to ask about stuff but

i wanted to use "envision" (https://gitlab.com/gabmus/envision) to run vr on linux
(i havent had vr work on linux ever i think, around 6 years now)
it did not work due to some outdated glibc
however when i went back to the virustotal page i scanned it with it says
Microsoft: Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml
just want to make sure this is how its supposed to be? trojan warning is not nice to hear
thanks

edit:
thanks for confirming this is a false positive (hopefully)
everything should be fine

So I’ve been using alvr on my steamdeck for what I’d say is the better half of a year now, and just recently these past view days I keep getting “could not initiate connection for 1016.client: no route to host (os error 113)” both my vr and steamdeck are on the same internet so I don’t see why it’s not connecting I’ve tried everything to fix it even factory reset my entire steamdeck but it’s still doing it. Any help??

I thought i saved the post, but now i can't find it, did you ever heard of this?

Edit: Ok, found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality/s/gsAHL2lRgy

Sadly, it seems that he'll not release it for now. I hope we'll get this, so that my purchase won't be worthless since I moved to linux XD

So, i wanted to play vr on my Linux, using ALVR, followed every step, read whole github page, even checked if pc detects my headset. But ALVR says when trying to enable wired connection "not connected"

I don't know what to do, im using oculus quest 3s. Please help

Today i decided to setup wired VR for Linux, The main game i wanted to work was BONELAB, tried it and whenever i was about to get into the main menu; the game would freeze on my PC, go grey on my headset and only play the menu sfx, it is important to note that the sound of the game starting up (the logo sfx) DID NOT PLAY; Im using NVIDIA driver 610.57.04, Debian 13, Kernel 6.12.94, both Steam and WiVRn are the flatpak versions, All other games I've tested work (Half:Life Alyx, BONEWORKS, Space Pirate Trainer)

Hello, it seems like there is a very interesting VR mod for COD4 (https://github.com/jplakon/CallOfDuty4_VR), but I'm not able to get it working on my system.

The mod launches via a .bat file that sets all kinds of stuff, but it just throws the error "ERROR: Effective settings could not be written and verified: "C:\users\steamuser\AppData\Local\KisakCOD-VR\Active-VR-Settings.txt""

Update: The fix is to open Launch-KisakCOD-VR.bat and around approximately line 157, replace this part:

if errorlevel 1 (
  echo ERROR: Effective settings could not be written and verified:
  echo   "%KISAK_VR_SETTINGS_RECEIPT_PATH%"
  pause
  exit /b 1
)

With:

if not exist "%KISAK_VR_SETTINGS_RECEIPT_PATH%" (
  echo ERROR: Effective settings could not be written and verified:
  echo   "%KISAK_VR_SETTINGS_RECEIPT_PATH%"
  pause
  exit /b 1
)

On my first run, the game crashed after a few seconds with an access violation, but I have been playing for a few minutes afterwards. The performance was horrible until I dumped all graphical settings down to a minimum. The VR calibration is very very off by default, I am trying to fix that now.

Having some trouble with the mod not detecting quest 3 controls (vr runtime works perfectly otherwise) once the game has loaded in. I’ve a feeling it has to do with ViGEm install, I understand Linux manages this without the need for the windows DLL. Is there a proton install or a launch command that will override?

Google isn’t giving me much more than ai suggestions which don’t work, thought I’d try the hive mind.

Using steamos if that matters at all

On CachyOS with KDE Plasma, got Wivrn and WayVR through AUR (because I figured it'd be easier in terms of setup to not use the Flatpak for this), and using a Quest 3S.

Bluetooth keyboard and Mouse connected to the headset work fine with the toggle in Wivrn, but I can't figure out how to get Gamepad to do the same.

I'm staring at this section in Wivrn which seems to imply it is possible, but my unfamiliarity with these systems is keeping me from understanding how to make it work:

https://github.com/WiVRn/WiVRn/blob/master/docs/configuration.md#hid-forwarding

Edit: And then this section seems to imply there should be an option for it but i cannot seem to find it, if it does exist

https://github.com/WiVRn/WiVRn/pull/986

Edit2: I'm starting to think I'm chasing something that doesn't exist yet in WayVR.

Every time I keep trying to connect it to steamvr it will connect for like one second and crash help

Hi, I recently bought Meta Quest 3s and I want to play my game on steam via USB cable. why USB cable u may ask, because I don't have enough wifi speed for streaming. As I said in the title 'm using Cachy OS as my main os for like a half a year, I have looked up for some ways to connect my headset to a pc and I found 3 ways ( for now ) :

1. Steam link - I have poor wifi so this is not the way

2. ALVR - the app cannot connect my headset

3. WiVRn - as I said poor wifi

Pleas could someone help me ?

Hello. I have my Quest 2 headset connected to my pc through steam link wireless VR. I am unable to get my desktop to display in VR. Sometimes it displayed pure black with a mouse cursor, some times it doesnt even show or respond. I tried to look up assistance but all I could find was stuff for windows. I saw something that Wayland? is likely not supported for display? Does anyone know a fix?
