| - Again, adjust vrmonitor path to your distro | ||
| - Go to `/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d` and make sure `nvidia_icd.x86_64.json` exists. It may also be under the name `nvidia_icd.json`, in which case you should adjust `VK_ICD_FILENAMES` accordingly. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think you should put nvidia_icd.json by default because it's that on arch and a lot more people use arch for gaming fwiw. Also because I think it's a bit more neutral in the general sense.
Btw sorry for this taking so long, I was really busy.
Also @Meister1593 do you think we should always put the VK_ICD_FILENAMES into the main thing and not have a second paragraph about adding it, like we do in the dashboard?
|
Also see #2499, I rejected that in the past because I thought the other options always worked and this was just less reliable, but it seems they just stopped working at a certain driver version. But |
|
All of this huge change is pointless. It's just redundant. I run ALVR with No VK_ICD_FILENAMES and endless tinkering for everything that you run in SteamVR. I also let ALVR start Steam and SteamVR. |
Except most people have steam running independently of alvr and this is guaranteed to be applied when people restart steamvr. Because steam likes to go into the background it's really easy to not actually restart steam to carry through that environment variable.

This should hopefully fix issue #2014 for nvidia users. Tested on my system and it works perfectly now after adding
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.x86_64.json, completely fixing the encoder errors.
