Replies to this post are not tracked for bug reporting purposes. Please use the forum linked above to report issues. The Steam Link for Meta Quest FAQ page is available here. Anyone can opt into the SteamVR Beta. Instructions are available here. SteamVR:

  • Add protection from hangs in vrserver on exit.

  • Speculative fix for Varjo headsets not having a display.

VRLink:

  • On Linux, pick the best GPU for VR and streaming rather than using first enumerated device. In particular, the NVIDIA open drivers enumerate in a different order and would not get selected before this change.

  • On Linux, work-around to enable 240 MBit/s streaming on NVIDIA cards.

  • Reduce performance overhead of Timing Debug Window.

  • Adjust packet timings to reduce latency spikes.
