Steam vr. Issue SOLVED - FOR INFO

[Bozdog 70]

Been away for a few days and as usual things don’t just work as they did when I left. I’ve recently got an issue in that when I switched to VR. Steam link on the home page  says next up MSFS  but just hangs on that anybody got any ideas? 🥲

 

link cable still works but doesn’t seem quite as good as the steam was  

 

SOLVED

There is a setting in Steam VR  APP  under OPEN XR   .  "Installed Open APR Layers

I have OPENXR tooklkit API layer  listed here.    It was ON

switched it OFFand all works now!

 

I did not switch it ON !  ???

Any idea what that setting means?

It seems to be that the open xr toolkit is no longer compatible with steam link, unless there is a setting  that needs changing to make it so

I read somewhere that there may be recent issues with openxr-toolkit if the order of the api stack is a certain way (something to do with foveated rendering api being above or below?) and re ordering them could fix it.

Thanks but no idea where this order is ? Still can’t get the toolkit to work with steam link 🥲

maybe give fred's app a try? I think it will report an error if the current hierarchy is a problem and it will re order them appropriately (i think)
