Today's update brings quality of life improvements to users of third party hardware drivers, Steam Link, and OpenXR. An experimental QoS toggle setting has been added to SteamVR for users of Steam Link. QoS is a feature on some routers to prioritizing traffic for specific applications. However, we've found this can sometimes have adverse effects on Steam Link. Users who have experienced difficulty connecting, or network hitching/glitches, should try toggling this setting on. Please report your findings on the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/11/]Steam Link for Meta Quest[/url] forums. We continue to focus on OpenXR as our preferred API for new games and applications. SteamVR’s official OpenXR subforum is [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/8/]here[/url] and we’d love to hear your feedback, as well as suggestions for new features. To report a bug, please use our Bug Reports subforum, [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/3/]here[/url]. Guidelines for how to provide an effective bug report are pinned at the top of that subforum. [b]SteamVR:[/b] [list] [*] Some users may have a resolution limit in their settings left over from running a third-party driver. This version of SteamVR will help you remove that limit. If removing it will have no effect, it will be removed automatically. If your current supersampling settings are high enough that you might hit the limit, there will be a button in settings to remove the limit and optionally (recommended) reset your supersampling settings to avoid causing a performance issue. [*] Prompt the user to switch to the SteamVR OpenXR runtime if it is set to something else. Previously, this prompt was limited to users in the beta branch. [*] Added a prompt in the resolution settings to remove the old maximum per-eye resolution setting and reset the resolution slider. [*] Fixed a [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/3/6087244701377116202/]performance regression with overlay apps[/url] that use WaitFrameSync. [*] A reload of the chaperone file will now cause the VREvent_SeatedZeroPoseReset and VREvent_StandingZeroPoseReset to be sent. [*] Fix for recenter events being sent if the chaperone is reloaded without change. [*] CJK languages now display the correct glyph variant in the SteamVR web UI. [*] Fix erroneous margin around VR Settings overlay. [*] Steam notifications look much better in VR (requires [url=https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/276C-85A0-C531-AFA3]Steam client Beta[/url]). [/list] [b]OpenVR:[/b] [list] [*] Prevent drivers from directly setting some user settings. This restriction will be expanded in the future as we work through cases where this is currently happening. Drivers that need special behavior should set the relevant properties rather than changing the user’s preference. [/list] [b]OpenXR:[/b] [list] [*] Implemented XR_EXT_local_floor. [*] xrCreateReferenceSpace will now return XR_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILURE when a reference space is not valid for a session (ex. the associated extension is not enabled). [/list] [b]Windows MR:[/b] [list] [*] Fix an issue where games submitting a larger texture than the recommended resolution could exceed the absolute maximum submitted texture resolution of WinMR, which would put the HMD into a bad state until it was restarted. [/list] [b]Steam Link:[/b] [list] [*] Prevent rare crash on NVIDIA encode failure. [*] Improve NVIDIA performance on some 4-series GPUs, switching all NVIDIA encoding to threaded encode. [*] Add toggle to disable QoS in network transport. [*] Show all computers running Steam, even when streaming VR is not available. [*] Fixed connecting to a computer after a network change on either PC or HMD.
