[fixed] Can't connect to Meta Quest Steam Link. (Error 499)

[gumballᒷ⊣ᔑꖎ]

little error window pops up saying there was an error in the video codec, might be necessary to update the Graphics Driver.

im on a Alienware M15 R6. the latest Nvidia Drivers just released and i still can't use it.

[gumballᒷ⊣ᔑꖎ]

found out you have to set all SteamVR related programs to use the Main GPU on windows graphics settings.

[PeelzAndSipz]

How do you do that on windows 11? @gumball

[gumballᒷ⊣ᔑꖎ]

press windows key, search for Graphics Settings

then go to search apps, and look trough the SteamVR Folder

i had to add vrmonitor.exe ; vrdashboard.exe ; vrserver.exe


hope that works for you

Hi there Gumball! I was wondering if you could help me do that by sending me a video or step by step instructions. As I don't think you can send videos here if you are wiling to send me one feel free to ask me for my contact information.

You've probably noticed that your laptops are smaller than typical computers.
This is because they consist of fewer electronic components.
And it is one of these components that you may be missing.

It's about the connection between the graphics card and its image output from the laptop.
In a computer, the matter is simple, the graphics card has plug-ins and you connect monitors or and vr headset.

But in a laptop no, here the graphics card is connected to the second graphics card and from the second one (lower power) the image is sent. Towards the built-in monitor and external monitor outputs. The circuits that govern where and how the image comes out are called mux.

So what you need to do is to know if your laptops can display the image on the connected vr headset.
Your laptops, i.e. not very similar, but with a smaller screen, or a weaker processor, etc.
This is where you should start if you have decided to buy a laptop.

edit:
Display the image on a VR headset connected with the same type of connection.
If it works with goggles that are connected via dp, it doesn't mean that it will work with goggles that use usb.
