OculusKiller VS ALVR

Program that kills oculus dashboard and service to give you more performance when using steamvr https://github.com/OpenOculus/OculusKiller

You can use Oculus Killer https://github.com/OpenOculus/OculusKiller

Having looked at the source code on this page of the github, it looks to me (as a C# beginner, not an expert) like it reroutes any attempt to launch Oculus VR to instead launch SteamVR by way of changing the directory path.

I use this and find it does exactly what you are are looking for: https://github.com/OpenOculus/OculusKiller

I am using OculusKiller mod. I dont think it's the issue though. idk. Let me hear your opinions and ideas to fix this issue please! Thank you! :)

Try killing oculus dash. https://github.com/OpenOculus/OculusKiller

If that doednt works go into joblist -> services and see if you can find "ovrserver". If it is there, and running, try installing this

Then I use OculusKiller to disable the Dash that opens and instead just goes straight to SteamVR.

They also achieve very low latency, I didn't follow every single optimization they added but it basically boils down to a few encoding tricks (better image in the center, accept blurriness in the peripheral vision), good network infrastructure, and hardware decoding / encoding being really fast.

To use steamvr on flatpak I used this tutorial . There was a disclaimer that nvidia GPUs are not supported, but the guy that suggested it has a 3090, so it might work for me too.

They have a Wiki page on GitHub with a settings tutorial and troubleshooting. A downside with a lot of open-source software is that it's relatively difficult to setup but it might fix some of your issues.

You can play wirelessly using Air Link, Virtual Desktop, or ALVR.

They also have a detailed wiki page on GitHub

https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/wiki/Settings-guide Goes in-depth about a lot of the features/settings

Quest 2 needs some workarounds (dev mode account), but once you've done those you can just install ALVR (I recommend nightly). As for the games, check ProtonDB. Some VR games (Pavlov beta, for example) have EAC that blocks proton. Some VR games don't work with ALVR due to https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/issues/1392, like the Pavlov beta and Crawlspace. Just install the proprietary NVIDIA drivers and use Xorg and most things should work fine. Steam has Proton, which lets you play Windows games with high performance.
