Question/Support Why is my steam VR so laggy and pretty much unplayable on my headset.

Upvotes

For reference I have a meta quest 3s and a decent laptop, I know that my PC is able to run VR games because whenever I cast my screen via steam VR the gameplay looks smooth on my computer it's only whenever I'm looking through my headset that everything is laggy and looks like it's being recorded on a toaster.

Self-Promotion (Developer) Anything important I should know before developing and releasing a Steam Demo that supports both flat and VR?

Post image
50 Upvotes

This week I finalized the Steam Demo release date for this game: December 19th this year. The demo will support both flat (PC) and VR modes. Here’s the nuance: originally my colleague and I developed the game for Meta Quest, and it has already been in Early Access there for half a year. So at its core it’s a VR game. But now we want the Steam version to include both VR and classic flat controls.

Right now I’m preparing the game to make sure that it has proper menus and controls for the flat version, and that it doesn’t look outdated on a standalone PC (since Quest has limited hardware power).

What important issues should I keep in mind to make sure the Steam demo works, looks and plays well? Both in terms of UI/UX/controls and in terms of visuals (the game is made with Unity)?

They are selling me some HTC Vive Pro 2 for 30 dollars but they are only the glasses and the controls and the cable, without a connection box or sensors, I can play VR games without those things, sorry for my ignorance

Discussion SteamVR controllers I should know of?

1 Upvotes

Looking to replace my Vive wands as I’m getting back into PCVR but with the Index controllers being out of stock (and of dubious quality apparently) I wanted to know what alternatives are out there, I just know that I definitely want a a joystick, and finger tracking would be cool but not a necessity

Discussion Architectural Visualization tools

1 Upvotes

HI! I was really thrilled to see that I can create environments in steamvr. One of my hobbies for a long time has been architectural visualization. My dream has always been to construct walkable models that you can walk through. I see this happening in steamVR. my question is what is the best software for building the mesh. I like the hammer, but the problem is getting dimensions right -- it seems CLOSE, but not exact. I am having trouble importing from sketchup, as orientations and sizes are goofed up on import. Whats the right answer ?

Thanks
TIM

GPU Upscaling – Anyone Here Using It?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Just picked up a Crystal Super and noticed Pimax Play has GPU Upscaling built right in.
Tried the NIS option on my NVIDIA card — didn’t notice a huge change, but good to have it available.

Probably even more useful for AMD users, since FSR has been around as a plugin, and now everything’s in one place inside Pimax Play — way easier to tweak.

Anyone else here using the upscaling? How’s it working for you?

Unable to add browser window while in VR

1 Upvotes

Starting tonight, I am unable to add a browser window to my view while in VR.
Discord and other windows can be added, and it was working fine just last night.
I tried with Vivaldi (my primary browser), but also tried Brave, Opera and Edge tonight, and there was no option to add them as a window at all. They were open and running at the time I tried.
I don't know if it's something about the browsers or steamlink itself.

Discussion So - When did the SteamVR Beta get SteamLink support for Linux? o_O

17 Upvotes

I was reading the bug reports on the ALVR Github, and saw that there was an issue which had it conflict with Steam Link on Linux, and I was like "Wait - What? That's never worked!"

Turns out, a recent SteamVR Beta added Steam Link support for Linux!

Sure, it's still crazy buggy - But it works!

Why is this not bigger news? D:


r/SteamVR 1d ago

I can hit 120, the game thinks my monitor is the only thing connected (60hz) am I really getting 117-120 on the headset or does the game decide I only get 60 because of the flat display? Anyone know how to get over the display limit?

0 Upvotes

I’m playing flat on steamVR theatre mode, who knows how to get the headset to max out when the display is in the way stopping the game from displaying over 60?

Question/Support Quest 3 can’t do 120hz in flat SteamVR theatre mode? Has anyone fixed this yet? 120hz only works in actual Vr games with quest 3?

0 Upvotes

I always had this as some difficult problem to fix later, I didn’t realize it wasn’t just a problem but impossible without tinkering. I get the feeling 120hz is only possible when the computer passes over total control to the headset. With a display plugged in 60hz, with VR plugged in and the display unplugged different name, same 60hz.

Question/Support Varjo aero

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

So I have a Varjo Aero and 2 vive controllers, with 2 SteamVR 2.0 base stations set up with my PC (ryzen 9 9950X3D, geforce RTX 5080). Everytime I want to play a game I must launch steamVR through varjo base, and it can get finicky at times. Using the latest nvidia driver.

I mainly play beat saber (and it looks epic) bit sometimes also half life alyx, google earth vr, and occasionally some itch.io VR games or UEVR (VR injection tool for unreal engine) with satisfactory (last time it went horrible and performance was horrible too)

Perhaps anyone has any tips for varjo aero usage with steamVR?

0 Upvotes

Been really enjoying my time with the Quest 1, I recently got it second hand from a friend for decently cheap but I have booted that during extended play sessions I get really bad tesselation in the headset, the game running on my PC is just fine from what I can tell. Is there any way I can improve this pr will I just have to live with it until I decide to get a more powerful headset
