So when i connect my VR headset, and Steam says the Quest 3 headset is connectet, but i still can't launch games, and the SteamVR constantly says checking for Vive Basestations, even when i have removed the software?
Im so jealous of his sick Bioshock room
@Nathie - The "Steam Link Passthrough" section doesn't talk about passthrough, it only talks about an easier way to get to the Quest menu by tapping the side of the headset
Thanks Nathie! You helped me fix my sound issue!

Hi, Nathie! Love the channel!! One question how much ram do you have on your laptop?
@Nathie thank you for your detailed video . i followed your steps but when i try to pair between headset and computer , i got the message " Host not responding , restart your steam VR ( error 200 ) , although Steam link and Steamvr both seems like running in the PC . PC and Headset are both on the same Wifi ( 5G ). any advice ?
Very exciting how easy this is.
What were all those games in the beginning of the video? Never seen half of them before, but they looked great
It works for me but idk why when i try to access my desktop it says "no desktop found"
Thanks broski
I honestly thought you had to go through the Oculus on the PC to connect to Steam VR. Thanks so much! I never would have known otherwise.

Hi. Bro thanx for the video. I did everything you mentioned the vr pads works on steam but when i open any game pads does not work at all. Any ideas?
I followed a lot of tutorials and done everything but my vr never finds my pc. I can only play steam link on cable. any suggestions for how to fix ?
If I already have a game like blade and sorcery installed on meta store for pc and I connect using virtual desktop can I play it as if I am on pcvr or will it be nomad
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Does this work better than the quest link? I been using that to play my PC games

Great information. I'm new to VR and want to learn more about Stream Link. I'm confused about a separate router. Does it need to be wired direct to my lap top? Also, I use a Microsoft Surface Pro 8. Will that enable me to use a decent flight simulator with my Quest 3?. Thanks for reading and I'm sure I'll have more questions.

Hi Nathie, I currently have a laptop with a 3050 RTX, 16 gb of ram and a 12 gen intel i5 core. I also have a meta quest 3, and I was thinking of buying blade and sorcery. But I don’t know if my pc is capable of running it smoothly or if I should just buy the quest version (nomad). I have seen the recommended specs for the game on pc but I have seen that people say that laptop isnt good for pcvr. What do you say?

hey Nathie! can i ask your opinion? because of my region, games on steam are like 50% cheaper than they are on meta/oculus store, is it worth buying it on steam and going through all these struggles or spend the extra on the meta app?

My thought is the space on my PC is greater than my quest 3. To me the headset is just a piece of hardware
6:04 what if i don't have a "steam streaming speakers" or even an "oculus streaming speakers" or something similar. i have only my stereo and headset
I have a laptop with a rtx 4060 and a Intel i7 with 16 gigs of ram. I use oculus link and half life alyx runs badly but I can run Boneworks and Bonelab at max graphics. Do you know what the problem is. (Ps: I can’t even run half life alyx on low graphics)
do you need to have steamVR open on the PC? or just Steam?
it does not say the connect thing when i look up my computer, is it because im using a mac?
I need help!!!! Im trying to use non steam vr games i added into my steam library with steam link but when i open them to play it opens the game in a 2d screen floating in front of me. When i play a vr game i downloaded in steam it works right. Seems its the non steam vr game causing the issue. Any one else had this problem & know how to fix. Thanks
can you help when i wanna play gorilla tag the audio is glitched can you fix
The steam link app closes out when I hit connect after entering the code. PC says waiting for headset.
is this compatible with the quest 1?
What would happen if your graphics card was slightly below what they recommended
I have a serious question, if the headset is not linked now does it get the graphics from the PC (I’m a nerd but even I don’t know this lmao)
How do we get passthrough in steam vr?
Can we play steam vr with a chromebook? you can now play steam on chromebook
Whenever it does it, it says user and the computer name is not responding. What do I do?
I'm getting a quest 2 for Christmas I think
can you use your joystick connected to the PC running steam and use it in Quest VR games? Im thinking of Flight Sims where you need the Yoke etc ???

3:15 I get to this part but its not pairing with my steam account even though its on?
For some reason when i start the game it only opens with a big screen rather than actually in VR, so MSFS2020 im looking at a big screen rather than sitting in the cockpit! I'm doing something wrong obviously
I kept having issues with my connection. Would it help if i was closer to my PC or do you think it is something else? Do i need to go ahead and upgrade to wifi-6?

I tested the valve index and it was very good but it has cables, and these trackers and everything. How good is the quest 3 for only steamvr?

@@fufutu6782 make sure you have regular steam running on your PC. I took an extra step off making sure I used the same email I use for steam to set up my headset but this may not be necessary. Plug in cable and make sure it's a fiber optic one. Some people can't get third party ones to work. If you are using WiFi link I can't help you add I use the cable. Then open steam link on headset, and select the CPU and you will hear a tone when it connects. Then lift up headset and look at CPU monitor you should see small steam VR box, it has the three bars hamburger in the corner for settings select that with your mouse. Then check thru settings should be one that lets you select open xr oculus xr or steam xr. Make sure steam xr is selected. If that doesn't work, or if you are using WiFi instead of cable, I don't know what else to tell you

so you dont need the oculus drivers anymore?
Can you use it with the link cable and bypass the meta link?
i have a hp and I dont have a link cable that is able to connect to the wifi router, what do i do?
So, Nathie - Why DOESN'T this work over a Wifi Mesh system? I have a 1200Mbps Wifi Mesh system around my house with faster speeds than a network cable with similar ping. So - Why is SteamLink not able to connect to my PC through this? It can connect in my room using the node network-cable'd to my PC, but not the node downstairs which can see the same PC.

why does the app not show up in my library?
I've run into a small but gamebreaking issue: Steamlink and steamvr have been working flawlessly for months, but suddenly im now unable to play anything. For the first minute of booting up steamvr and hopping into a game, everything is perfectly stable, before suddenly everything starts breaking, with the in-headset display flashing the steamvr loading icon before just giving me and error message the my headset is not found, meanwhile the game on my pc is perfectly fine, with absolutely no errors. The only thing i could mention for why this happened is because i switched from a quest 2 to a quest 3, but i did go back in with the 2 and had the same issue. Sorry for the long comment, but it has caused me to essentially waste $100+ on games I can't play anymore.
