Can anyone tell me what is this EEROR please?

[[ＧＯＸ ＧＥＮＥＯＸ]]

the VRlink Driver encountered a fatal error:
EEROR: failed to create/reset encoder in
videoamfenc::SubmitFrame()

am new to this and I don't know what it means, or how to fix it, and i have been trying for a month now so this would help thanks.

I've had this same issue for more than a month as well, and had posted to several forums but got no answer. Just a few mins ago I tried ALVR and it seems to be okay despite not working well previously. I haven't tried launching a game yet. What are your PC specs? Consider giving ALVR a try.

well I don't have a beefy pc I have been able to run some pretty beefy games on relatively High settings without any problems but trust me I bet you anything these specs are not that good for vr

os, Windows 10 Pro
RAM, 12.0 GB DDR3
CPU, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.60 GHz
And a Radeon RX 570 series

ALVR is a good alternative but I can't get the Oculus app to run on my PC, anytime I try to download it, it doesn't download and then it breaks my computer having me to factory reset the whole system, and I have no clue on what causes it. hell I just got done resetting my computer yesterday.

You don't need the Oculus app for ALVR; you only need SteamVR. For me, SteamVR worked when used through ALVR. It didn't work only when launched directly through Steam/Steam Link.

Additionally, I was able to get SteamVR working again (the normal way) without getting the "failed to create/reset encoder" error. I've posted my findings on this Discussion Post , although they are not very definitive. Hopefully you can derive something from it.

I'll look into it, but can you direct me to a video on how to install it correctly? maybe I might be doing it wrong?

Sorry, I didn't follow any video. I just followed the guide on their GitHub page.
ALVR Installation guide[github.com]

I might be able to help you if you run into specific issues. If you do need help, make sure you send along the exact error message and error code you get with as much context as possible.

You're welcome dude, that's great. I'm glad to hear that 🤝
Enjoy the return to PCVR.
