Sounds like we indeed got a borked update then, let’s hope they’ll get it fixed soon. I did some testing yesterday. Before I had the dongle about 1.5m away and to my right but I tried to hang the dongle over my monitor right in front of me and almost within arms reach. That completely eliminated the problem, so it might be some signal strength or packet loss recovery optimisation they borked. I haven’t tried a room-scale game yet to see if that also has issues but I suspect it.
Since your router also runs on the 6GHz band make sure the channels the dongle and the router use are far enough apart. Other than that, did you install an update on the beta channel around Friday? That’s when my issues started.
I’m sorry to hear you were hit by the charging issue. Region settings are set correctly so that shouldn’t be the issue. Maybe I’ll just have to wait for a new update.
I have already tested that setting. It disables the dongle and goes WiFi only. Nothing seems to ve able to do the opposite.
Hopefully all of us beta testers have ironed out the kinks by then xD
I hope you get it soon, I’m waiting for my lenses too but since its plano I can use the headset dine without them.
Valve really shouldn’t use GLS. I was greeted by this horror when my Steam Frame arrived:
In my case I was pretty lucky. Only the eye spacer had damage and a new one is on the way. Do remember that this is a large launch for Valve with a new headset and new technologies where people are finding all the issues an internal QA can’t find. And everyone bogging them with when they’ll receive their headset. So I imagine that Valve has a huge backlog of support tickets to go through and the more complicated a case is, the more time it will require. Patience is key. But I do hope you get your issue resolved quickly.
Steam Frame is a mini PC that runs SteamOS which is based on Arch (btw). You can run some light games directly on the headset itself.
If you mean streaming from a Linux PC to the headset then I have almost no issues with it. There’s a few stuttering issues likely caused by my poor WiFi since placing the dongle within arm’s reach will make everything butter smooth. I run Fedora so kernel is almost bleeding edge. That might have something to so with it.
