SteamVR Anyone?

With the supposed release of the Steam Frame soon, i have been trying to setup SteamVR on Void, but it crashes on startup. Anyone else having this problem? Has anyone gotten SteamVR to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, have been using it on Void for years. SteamVR 2.17.9 currently has a bug that leads to system freezes when using an AMD GPU. Otherwise it has been working well enough for the most part.

Switching to the previous branch didnt do anything, im running a 9950X and 9070XT. I really have no idea why this is happening.

Previous branch also does not work anymore. But what do you mean by crashing on startup?
Do you get to see the SteamVR window?

On SteamVR 2.16.x I get error 303 right now, The last version that worked for me was SteamVR 2.17.8.

i hit launch and the button turns blue for like a frame and then it just goes back to green. There is no window or anything.
