  • In today's video, we will be checking out te brand new app that Valve just released yesterday for Meta Quest devices called Steam Link. This app is available for free in your Meta Quest store on Meta Quest 3, Quest 2 and Quest Pro. It will allow you to wirelessly play PCVR games on your Quest device through SteamVR. This is very comparable to Virtual Desktop, Air Link and ALVR, however, this integrates directly with SteamVR and is made by Valve. So, let's take a look, I will tell you a bit about it, show you how to set it up, and we will try it out. I hope you enjoy the video :D

    It just works. Virtual Desktop is a paid app, it has tons of settings, lots of incompatibilities with common software, and is generally a pain for anyone who isn't an enthusiast. Now anyone who plays Steam games and has a Quest headset can play PCVR quickly and easily for free. This sets up Valve for another big VR game release alongside their new headset.

I'm not saying I won't try the other option but don't really see a need to switch as of now. That being said, I am also a Steam Deck owner that loves Valves innovation and am very excited about this new app.

    VRCFT works with the module by Ykeara. Another plus of using the quest pro is that the foveted encoding is actually eye tracked. It's great on the Pro, but on the quest 2/3 headsets without that option there should be a toggle off.

      I honestly couldn't get it to work at all (also Pro), I the whole page is very low res/quality, as soon as I move my head the image is replaced with an hourglass for a few seconds then another really low res image.
      Great news for VRCFT and if it supports foveated rendering, that'll be awesome.
      Think I'll stick to Virtual Desktop for now.

  • @Faimyn
    @Faimyn 7 месяцев назад +113

    I felt like SteamVR Link was WAY clearer (at max bit rate, within the foveated center) than VD (AV1 200mbps), and the latency felt better with SVRL. My only complaints with SVRL is the controller tracking doesn't seem to interpolate like VD which can cause a little tracking skipping, there seems to be a bug with the haptics through SVRL where they are weak/cut off early, and I wish they gave us the option to make the foveated portion larger or to be able to turn it off all together. If they can fix those few issue then SVRL will become my primary way of connecting to PCVR.

    The only thing that would make this better: if they actually added some way to do the wired connection through this app directly as well, bypassing the need for Oculus entirely for specifically SteamVR, because it takes _so_ many resources to need to run Oculus underneath SteamVR simultaneously, taking away potential performance that really shouldn't need to be taken away.

    So apparently if you're on quest 3 and it looks pixelated, it's because the resolution is by default set lower than the quest 3's resolution, so just put it at the max and it should be good. In the video you could see Mysticle raise it to the max, but then they immediately set it to auto afterwords, so leave it on manual once you raise it up.

    Gave it some testing, works surprisingly well for a first release, nowhere near as nice looking as VD on my setup but certainly works every bit as well as Airlink does and certainly seems a little better latency wise than VD. If they can introduce a little sharpening like VD and a bit of general polishing, it'll be an absolute winner.

    Just tested it with my RX 580 and it suprised me. I can play on as clear resulotion as clear the headset's original resulotion with almost no lag (I just tested on 90hz but the minimum was ~70 in Alyx and Phasmophobia) I didn't knew that this card is powerful enough for this resulotion. I now prefer Steam Link instead of any streamer app (I could play on potato or low in virtual desktop)

    Nice to see Valve upping their game. Also 100% another confirmation that they're working on their own wireless VR headset. That being said, both airlink and VD work really well with my Q2 (still need to get a new Q3). Some games (for some reason) will run better on one over the other so I'll probably give Steamlink VR a try as well on the more problematic ones.

    VD is more sharp and clear even on Ultra setting than oculus link or wireless link at 1.5 resolution, with it set to quality in ODT, even though Ultra is a little less pixels than Oculus at 1.5x. I think because of the contrast sharpening and Snapdragon sharpening. They both feel the same as far as lag but VD sometimes crashes Steam VR and disables controller input and oculus desktop... But VD is my go to. Also Oculus desktop black screen issue unless you turn off HDR on PC

    The reason face tracking wasn't working is because osc relies on specific variables/parameters on the avatar that's uploaded. The names of steam links parameters look different than what vrcft uses. The avatar creator has to rename them to match the steam link ones. Ex. Parameter would be "avatar/parameters/sl/xrfb/facew/LipPuckerL"

    In the experiences with my system, Virtual Desktop is acting like a keystone to the other link programs.
    I tried everything separate, got janky performance and random disconnects until using VD as the main link and starting everything from there, and though not perfect with a little tweaking of the settings here and there, it simply works.
    The Steam link is more stable then the Air link with the quest 3 but i'll keep using VD as the main link in tandem with both and for curious fun it even works nicely with verizon hotspot wifi provided the area has good cell service and set to transmit and recieve 5g and up signals.

    Might use it over virtual desktop in some situations but there's either a bug or design flaw. It caps the quest 2 at 2048x2048... Where VD supports 2688x2784. So everything looks more blurry and unclear, real shame

    Tried using Quest's native Airlink after being a cable purist for about a year, found out about how great it is and how amazing playing wireless PCVR is.
    Installed ALVR, left my Quest charging and this was the first thing I saw when I opened RUclips. Honestly, seems like a great app and I can't wait to be able to jump into VR that quickly just by having Steam up, the set-up time between putting the headset on and getting it connected to my computer has been frankly quite annoying (and the Oculus app is annoying too).

    • @xolotlvt
      @xolotlvt 7 месяцев назад

      Guess it all depends on whether you're okay with the Oculus interface, or if you'd prefer SteamVR, which most people do. Me personally, I hate using Link or AirLink. Its such a pain..
      But I've been using VD for a while and got used to SteamVR's interface. Would definitely recommend trying Steam Link to get a taste of that! Not sure how ALVR is these days, as I haven't used it in forever, but last time I had some pretty annoying compression issues (Screen was VERY blurry, or the game was very pixely)

    They need to add in AV1 support, then they can pull users from Virtual Desktop, and especially if they can tweak it to allow a more efficient use with lower latency... Latency is a huge deal to maintain quality in VR games... I get stuttering in Legendary tales, but I believe one part of the equation is the quality of my router, which isn't sufficient on AV1. H.264 / 265 works fine with it, AV1 absolutely does something to the router which stutters.
    The headset probably has trouble pushing the decoding side of things too.

    From my first trial of SteamVR Steam Link, it does appear to have less lag than AirLink through the official Oculus/Meta app, but I’ve had a few times when launching an app leaves me only with the SteamVR launching window with no apparent way to get into the software itself (I do hear the game running in the background). Very eager to see if this gets updates.

    I tried Steam Link today and the guardian(chaperone in steamvr) was all messed up and wouldn't work or look the same as in Virtual Desktop. The quality on my Quest3 in VRChar and No Man's Sky was the same(AV1-10Bit@200Mbps, Virtual Desktop), but I'll stick to Virtual Desktop for the ability to use any PC mic I want. I use Voicemeeter with Cantable for VST audio plugins and Steam Link wont use my PC audio in that way. For first time users I agree that it's WAY easier then alternatives and much better quality then Air Link. But with out the audio features, I can't jump ship.

    Seeing that Steam VR has a Linux version, this gives steamlink an advantage in that regard, too.

ALVR's an option there, but I haven't gotten around to trying it (even set up a dev account to sideload it. But I actually have to sit down and DO it).
