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.

How can I use C++ libraries/SDKs?
I have been using C++ for a while but never really touched on using a full on SDK and now I want to use this SDK from Valve but my issue is that it isn't clear to me how to use it. What I mean by this is that it comes with a lot of subdirectories and extra stuff but how can I make a hello world program and able to call functions from the header file included in this SDK? I have used .h files before so I understand how the linker and all that works but with such a robust SDK I am not getting how this works on VSCode or maybe that I shouldn't even be using VSCode?

Porting game to VR - water shader messed up
1) I considered switching a while back, but I was already really far in by the time I realized that OpenVR was outdated. If you search for SteamVR, OpenVR comes up as the API to use, and the github site does not mention it being deprecated anywhere. It's generally not obvious unless you are specifically searching for confirmation of obsolescence. In any case, my question is API agnostic.

How are we supposed to build a metaverse when I can't share a simple .exe demo anymore like the old days?
OpenVR is open to anybody writing a driver to support their equipment there. Anybody can do it. Always has been. Citation, for my point: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr

dll mod to add the option of controller rotation offsets to any OpenXR game.
