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.
This is not correct, Steam Link doesn't connect via a Router. The headset goes dead when you open a game after giving an error about being connected via a router.
@@adamthomas9001 Send it back. I've stopped trying to use VR for anything. I'm not paying $1,000 or $3,000 for less quality than my 8k display which I currently run at 4k since their isn't a game out there that uses 8k textures. However all these VR headsets are 2k each eye at best.
I recommend have it your pc charge full and the quest then u can start all of the downloading and work and upload u a game cause the oculus dies a lil quick 😅
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?
Hi im having an issue with my quest stream saying my router is wireless connected to my pc and that it isn’t supported does that mean i have to get a ethernet cable to hook to my router and pc to play it
@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 ?
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?
@@nathie sounds fair! but it's really sad i need to have my PC powered up just to play a game on my quest, kinda defeats it being a wireless product but you make a strong point. thank you!
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
i can't get passed 03:27. My wifi drops every single time i get to this point. When i say the wifi drops, i mean it becomes completely unavailable for any device for a few minutes.
Im not sure if its something to do with my stuff or not but when I press the connect button it doesnt send me to the steam place on my headset it just closes steamlink entirely And idk what to do
@@TechFinn12 Oh really, that was blocking it was it? ..Crazy. What do you think of the Quest 3 then? Do you think it's clarity is good etc? I had the first oculas rift CV1 when it launched. Wondering if it would be a noticeable difference in resolution or is it still grainy?.
I have a problem with steam vr. I launch the game in steam vr in vr but if i try to play for example "surgeon simulator" then it puts me like in a desktop kind of mode not in vr mode. Could someone help?
How much speed for a router do I need? I can run PCVR games on the Rift S, but not sure this will carry over...and can not have a wired connection since the router is not near my play area. My router is only at about 25mbps.
after 5 hours I still cannot get any pcvr set up 😭 I’ve tried steam link, won’t connect my pc to router with a wire, quest link doesn’t connect with air link or cable, I legit give up
03:18 - --In my opinion it is worth to mention to activate "Remote Play" in Steam Options before booting up Quest 3 :)-- Ahh, yes, you mentioned about that in 06:47, my bad :)
That is helpful, but what i am interested is how good does it actually work? I plan on only using my quest 3 for pc. But there is no video on yt on how good it actually works. 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?

Hello, I need Hand tracks only use in UE and on PC Desktop, I connect to PC/Desktop no hand tracking, I need to enable to use in Unreal Engine, what should I do? Thanks
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.
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)
I just tried to connect via steam link but for some reason when I type the 4 digit code it gave me a error or something saying quest 3s couldn’t connect to pc
Ok I know this sounds weird but is it ok if I use a 10 second clip from one of your videos and put it in one of mine it's for a skit it's ok if you say no
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.
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
