Sorry for resurrecting this thread from the dead but from what I can recall of my VR experience. OpenVR/SteamVR https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr has gotten a lot better but some games like VRChat https://hello.vrchat.com/blog/vrchat-security-update are still extremely jank. I know NO-VR HL:A https://www.moddb.com/mods/half-life-alyx-novr/news/half-life-alyx-is-on-sale-new-update-new-trailers is possible on the steam deck. It should be possible according to ProtonDB https://www.protondb.com/app/546560, you might need to put in some tweaks like....
-novid -safe_mode
or
-novid -safe_mode +hlvr_continuous_normal_speed 180 +hlvr_continuous_combat_speed 180
Used Vive's are good but if you are able to splurge get used index controllers if you can too. They are genuinely a game changer compared to the awful OG Vive controllers. If you have anymore questions or want me to test HL:A VR on linux just shoot me an email.

I haven't tried SteamVR on Linux, but suspect that using it without a VR setup would be about as useful and enjoyable as browsing YouTube with a text-only web browser.
Thanks. Though I find it a bit hard to believe that Valve would release their HalfLife sequel as a VR-gear-only game?? Is there really that many gamers with a VR setup now? I guess I'm behind the times. _______________________________________________ Roundtable mailing list Roundtable@muug.ca https://muug.ca/mailman/listinfo/roundtable
