Shadow VR just does nothing and just goes back to home almost immediately.

I just bought my quests 2 a few days ago and just subscribed to shadow as well. I’ve followed the following instructions exactly.-Installed Shadow VR from Sidequest on my Oculus quest-Downloaded Steam and installed SteamVR on my Shadow-Launched SteamVR on my Shadow from my PC and went through all potential updates and pop ups.-Set Steam to launch with Windows / remember password-Launched the Shadow VR (alpha) app from the unknown sources app of my Oculus Quest-Entered me Shadow login credentials (code) and authenticated my Headset as a Shadow device-Clicked Start Shadow VR button.Then it loads for about 5 seconds… then goes back to the shadowvr home screen. Steam VR does not load. I click it again it it just keeps doing the same thing.. Basically a failure loop. If i go into 2d view it tells me to put my headset on. It actually seems to be detecting my headset, just not that it is on.I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything and I get the same issue.The strange thing is if I

Please improve performance

Hello,It’s been more than 1,5 year that I got my Oculus Quest 2 Headset.I tried the vr app lot of time ago both official and beta and performance was a total disaster.Eample:SteamVR→ Even in the main menù with no game running, there was a really annoying lag and that is one of the less intense network-demanding parts.In game for example SuperHot VR, except for the big lag, grabbing and controls didn’t work right. After this first attemp, I bought Virtual Desktop, which seems the solution everyone recommends, and it actually give a really smooth experience, except for some occasional connection drop. Video is smooth and I can play likely realtime.I didn​​​​​​​’t gave up on the shadow app, and each 2-3 months I kept coming back to it.But beside some minor changes in options and so, nothing really changed in terms of performance. It’s still terrible and unplayable and far from its competitors.Maybe you should have a talk with Virtual Desktop team and integrate their video codec or technol

Shadow VR "login failed"

Hi folks:Like many others, I can login to regular Shadow just fine. But when I try to login to SHADOW VR on my headset, it always says LOGIN FAILED. I’m *positive* I’m typing in the correct username and password.The only solution I’ve seen posted here is “hit the login button multiple times”.  Tried that too.Help!-Kurt

About Vd.... ( is it worth it?!? ) ( bugs on vr )

Short answer yes. Long answer depends. Its a decision between how much latency you have, if its under 35 use Usb forwarding feature on your oculus If not and you cant fix any bugs on shadow vr use Vd

GAMEPAD not supported OCULUS QUEST 2 VR

Bought Shadow Subscription to play Oculus Quest 2 VR,,, Steam VR games... to find I cannot play racing games... because GAMEPAD is not supported !!. They tell you, subscribe to Shadow and you will have use of a full GAMING PC and be able to play all the games you own on Steam VR through your Oculus Quest 2... Well, I cannot,,, its not true. I have three times now asked them for help with this,,, but they don't respond, just ignore me... They need to fix this issue.. I only just subscribed a few days ago,, but going to unsubscribe... as Shadow does not support GAMEPAD in Oculus Quest 2 VR ! and its very very very bad that they just ignore me about this...

Controller in the wrong location

When I play phasmophobia using the ShadowVR app my controllers are near my feet and I can't change their position, only their rotation. When I press the menu button on the oculus it shows the controllers are in the correct position, but the game won't accept it. When I tried this game on virtual desktop I didn't have this issue but virtual desktop has proven to be unreliable when connecting to a pc so I would like to be able to do it through shadowVR. Has anyone else had this issue or know of a fix for it?

How do you fix the controller binding in SteamVR Games like Boneworks and Skyrim?

So I’ve tried to play SkyrimVR and Boneworks on ShadowVR. Initially thought it might have been the Skyrim  or connection issue since my controllers kept working weirdly.But today I downloaded boneworks and the controllers completely don’t work. Tried to use a different controller binding for the game as how others fixed their controllers on plutosphere but still nothing. The controllers are stuck and also my field of view is terribly limited. When I move my head around rapidly, I could see the black spots at the corner of my eye. Not sure if anyone has these issues as well. Quite disappointed as I had high hopes. I’ll be trying with VD and shadow PC next time but if anyone know how to fix this, it would be great.

thank you devs

Thank you devs for fixing the no audio thing. I had to use oculus audio drivers to hear things but it downgrades the performance

(Oculus Quest 2) Is Hand Tracking availble/planned on ShadowVR?

I recently discovered Oculus Quest 2 systems have hand tracking available out of the box, but upon trying to launch Shadow VR, it forces me to switch to controller.Is there a way around this?If not, is it a planned feature Shadow VR will have as it develops?Thank you for your time.Madeline (HoneybeeSorceress)

Its just broken.

My Shadow Vr app hangs and stops responding anytime I try to start shadow Vr. Initially I believe I had an older version installed up until yesterday, which when I tried to start shadow Vr and play it would just say it was updating, load from zero to 100, and then go back to zero and repeat. Is there anything I can do?

ShadowVR Controller Help

Hi All, I’m relatively new to Shadow VR + Quest 2-- I've got my setup working well with a few things, like HL: Alyx and Google Earth. I've been trying to make Elite Dangerous work, but anything I try I get zero control response from the controllers. The only thing I can do is bring up the SteamVR menu and quit. It starts up with a regular menu, but I can’t select anything or do anything. I got it in game once by starting in 2d and switching to VR, but again, zero control response through the touch controllers. Also worth noting that I get similar (lack of) response using the ShadowVR app and Virtual Desktop, despite a few attempts at restarting and installing everything from scratch.

SteamVR not connecting to Quest 2

Hey guys, Got my Shadow this weekend. Installed Steam, Steam VR, updated drivers using Nvidia experience. When I would start Steam and SteamVR, it would pop up saying something to the effect of the headset was ready to use. I don’t recall having to do anything extra to get it to that stage. Everything was working great using the Shadow app on Quest 2. Suddenly today, I try to launch ShadowVR on the Quest and it hangs on “Starting VR service.” That’s when I notice that Steam VR says “Please plug in your VR headset” now. I wanted to try just re-installing Steam and SteamVR but that was being a little goofy. So, to be on the safe side I decided to just reset my whole Shadow and do the entire process over again. Unfortunately, I still can’t get SteamVR back to the point where it’s recognizing the headset. I tried installing the SteamVR beta but no dice. I also tried installing the Oculus app to see if that would somehow help. Is there some sort of key step that I accidentally did the first

Great Shadow VR Early Access!!!

I want to congratulate Shadow team. Shadow VR works really great. It’s impressive how Shadow VR has evolved on time. I hope you don't stop developing this absolutely great technology.I think it would be useful to create a guide for new users on how to take all advantage of Shadow VR.I have a question, how can we use a steering wheel, a joystick or a gamepad throug Shadow VR? for example to use a steering wheel in Asseto Corsa at the same time I use VR.Thanks, and please continue this great job!!!

Tunelling USB devices to Shadow VR ?

Hello fellow ShadowVRers !Here is the situation : I’ve got Shadow VR working with my Quest 2, now I’d like to be able to play Elite Dangerous … the thing is I need my HOTAS controller in Shadow VR.First thing I tried was to connect through my local PC with the standard Shadow app in order to get the USB forwarding, but of course only one client connexion is allowed, so obviously when I tried to connect through Shadow VR I got kicked out from the PC app and lost USB forwarding.Next I figured I could manually forward some USB devices to my Shadow using some kind of software (which one ?), so I did setup a VPN client to connect my Shadow PC to my local network. Stupid me. Note for later: never *ever* install a Wireguard client on Shadow PC, now I’ve lost connexion and I need to reset to factory settings. Nevertheless maybe a solution using SSH forwarding.So here is my question : is there (or will there be) some standard easy way I did not think of to connect local USB devices to the Shado

Has anyone managed to set up vr gaming with kat walk c?

Hello, I recently got a quest 2 and managed to get steamvr working on it by sideloading the shadow pc beta app with sidequest. It's very cool and working pretty well at the moment, but I have a kat walk c (omni directional treadmill) coming in a month or so and can't seem to find any advice on how to set it up with a shadow pc. Has anyone managed this or have an idea how it could work? Thanks for your help!

g920 not working on cars2

New to shadow Been trying to get shadow VR to play cars 2. The streaming is great but I have no controls. Won't pick up my g920 (shadow pics it up no problem on normal mode). Anyone have the same issues? Using VD is just too laggy to be enjoyable..not sure what I'm doing wrong. It seems that shadow VR streams directly to the quest and don't go thru the PC so it can't see controls or usb accessoires.. hope someone has a fix. Thanks
