Hey everyone, I just got back from a long trip overseas and pulled my gear out of storage. My Valve Index has white surface mold on the fabric parts, probably from humidity where it was stored. Is it salvageable? I'd hate to toss it, since I bought it with my first adult paycheck when it came out.

I'm willing to take the headset apart, but the tricky part is removing the fabric piece at the back of the head strap. Any tips on getting it off?

my headset usually has been working for many months but recently it has been getting a 215 error and a 450 error no matter what I do it keeps on breaking. I made sure my connection was private. I reset the firewall I checked my settings. I’ve done every tip, but it still has not worked as anyone else having this error and if you’ve solved it, can you tell me what you did to fix it?

Alright....

I have been trying to fix this for 4 hours.

Some settings. DDU, Clean install of drivers, to the point where adrenalin wont even work.

I have this issue with my Valve index where I can get into the game in VR just fine, I can navigate the menu and see everything perfectly.

But once i get into the cockpit everything except for the button prompts, red lights and the pause menu is just all shifting colors filling the screen. But through the menu i can see everything fine, like the car and track.

My drivers at this point according Windows are "32.0.31044.16" on the GPU when i have fought through hell installing "25.4.1***"*** which people online said was the only fix to the issue. And after installing all of it i now also can't open AMD Adrenalin for some reason, it just disappears from the funny little popup menu that's bottom right of windows.

Notes; Game runs perfectly fine normally. I've had steam VR home open and i can see everything.

This Headset is from my other PC and has worked perfectly fine.

Cables have been re-seated and i have turned everything off and on again MANY times.

I'd gladly answer questions if it would help the troubleshooting.

thanks

OK so I'm panicking, I tried to start SteamVR on my headset and it detected me opening it on my PC but it immediately hits me with the "Host is not responding" loading thing and nothing else, I tried opening VRChat in VR mode manually and it told me SteamVR encountered a critical error, is anyone else getting this??

I'm using Windows 10 OS, a Quest 3, using NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU (8 GB)

AMD Radeon(TM) 610M (483 MB)

I'm using Steamlink and using the latest public version (Not beta)

Reddit suggested I should share here as well so here I am reposting it. ​

I've tried changing various Steam input settings, including disabling. Suggestions I've found relating to Steam VR settings are outdated.

Since about a week ago, my Steam Frame tracking has suddenly become unusable. The view randomly jumps to different positions, both in games and in the SteamVR home menu.

Sometimes it's fine for a minute, then suddenly jumps again. Other times it rapidly switches back and forth between positions.

I've cleaned the tracking cameras and tested in multiple rooms, so lighting or reflections aren't the issue. The wireless dongle is positioned directly in front of me.

It started completely out of nowhere and now happens constantly.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I have a question: What is the best VR headset for the price? I’m not looking for the cheapest usably good option I want the best overall value, good visuals, great controllers, and whatever else you consider most important for a vr headset.

I’m currently saving up for a new headset and want something that will last me a long time, whether it takes me a week or a year to save for it.

I’m currently running a Oculus Rift S that I got as a birthday prezzie years ago. I’ve put so many hours into it that its literally falling apart both controller rings are glued back together, and after falling off my stand, the display looks like it's stuck at 360p. With around 2,500 hours in walking dead S&S and another 1,200 in boneworks, this headset has definitely been used and abused over the years. Im not usually rough with stuff i own but most of the damage was caused by things i literally couldnt prevent. Im also looking into getting body tracking stuff in the future but i already know which im getting.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask lemme know if theres a better place to post this.

I just finished EXD, and I gotta say, it was pretty darn good.

I have pretty bad ADHD, so I take a long time to get around to finishing games. I started this one a while back, got like 4 hours in or so, and then shelved it.(more because of my own issues, than anything to do with the game) But I recently got back into it, and got hooked on finishing it. But man that Scorpion boss near the end felt more like the real end boss. That thing was hard to beat.

Anyways, what are the general thoughts on how well this game sold? It finishes on a cliffhanger and says there will be a sequel. Im hoping it sold well enough that that will definitely happen.

This might not cover everything but is what I know to get the cable link to work.

First you need to enable developer mode on your meta horizon app.

1. Go to meta horizon --> Menu in upper left. --> Devices, first option on the top then add your headset or connect if needed. --> Headset settings. --> Developer mode. --> make sure it is switched on, the switch will be green if on.

PRN. If you need to verify, login into developer.meta.com , click your profile in the upper right, then click my projects, to do the verification add 2FA or a credit card, then name your "Team" whatever you want, this part dosen't matter, after doing this you can go back to meta horizon app and repeat those steps.

note : This what i had to do at the time, I'm looking at developer.meta.com and it looks different to what i remember.

2. Restart your headset, then connect your cable, you'll get a prompt to "Allow USB debugging" click always allow from this computer, then go to your settings --> link, then scroll down and at the bottom turn on "USB connection for apps."

Note : From what I've tested enabling the beta on quest, steam VR, and the steam app is not needed.

3. Make sure your cable connection connecting your PC and headset is good, then go into the steam VR app in your Q3, you should see a USB-C icon in the upper right, connect to your pc then go to Steam in the bottom left --> VR settings. --> Steam link, scroll all the way down, and make sure "Allow multiple links" is on, this is the most important part, after that, look at your pc on steam VR, it should show a USB + WIFI connection, you can then turn off your wifi on your quest, disabling Metas ability to steal your data and a connection through just your cable.

Note : From what I've tested multi link is required because steam VR needs to make a UsbNcm that allows you to stream data via your cable, currently there isn't any way to use it without multi link but maybe some a feature will be added to connect through cable without wifi.

Let me know if there is anything I left out, I'll try to respond to questions but I probably don't know the answer to all of them.

Then again this is probably not a perfect tutorial but it's the process that I've done over the course of several months, allowing me to use a cable connection.

I installed the mod as per instruction. But when i press play in Steam Frame it just streams a flat screen and no VR? What am i doing wrong?
