Stream Steam VR games to your standalone VR-Headset: ALVR v20.0.0 released
A guess, but SteamVR can't recover from VR applications crashing causing all future ones to not work, might be Home crashing first. Try turning off Home, and restarting.

Need help getting SteamVR working properly
Yes, the beta - SteamVR Beta Update also has the same problem, but with extra bugs like this issue for "Shared IPC Compositor Init Failed (303)". The linux_v1.14 - Older build, for Linux users also has the same problem. The None beta version is the only one I can use, as it doesn't show the "Shared IPC Compositor Init Failed (303)" error.

HP Reverb G2 (2023) Revive and other External Games
You want this version of revive https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive/releases/tag/3.0.0 Note that compatibility varies, some games just don't work and there's not much that can be done about that as far as I know. This is the reddit post I read that led me to the files when I searched https://www.reddit.com/r/HPReverb/comments/ufq8ti/issues_with_revive_nothing_plays/ and this one too https://www.reddit.com/r/HPReverb/comments/ktyj6b/revive_revivexr_amazing_performance_on_g2_in/
- Is there a way to play Oculus Quest exclusive games on SteamVR?

is it worth getting a valve index in 2023? The valve index 2 will be announced soon but that means it might not be released until late 2024. I currently have a oculus rift s and I’m not interested in getting the quest 2 or the quest 3 when it comes out
If you do end up switching, don't forget to check out Revive, a piece of software which lets you play Oculus PCVR games through SteamVR.
