MacOS + Quest 3 (via Steam Link) + Parallels Desktop + Steam VR is not working.

[Kondrick]

MacBook Pro M2 Pro + Quest 3 + Parallels Desktop + Steam Link is not working. Steam Link is asking me to update my graphics adapter drivers. Is there any way to fix this? I would really like to play my games via Steam Link on my Mac. Maybe there's a solution? Valve, please pay attention to Mac users.

Am sorry to let you know this but for now pallerales is not compatible for vr gameplay due to emulation of the arm cpu like your you M2 Pro. so for now it is not possible at this giving time

Hi, llyinx! Thanks for your reply. Am I correct that in theory, Steam could release a driver supporting Apple's arm processors and the issue would be resolved? Or are there limitations on Apple's part?

I can also confirm this is happening on my setup. I am using a MBP M3 / Parallels Windows 11 with Quest 3 and Steam link. I tried all troubleshooting steps; disabled firewalls and I am on the same network. My Quest 3 with Steam Link will not identify the Virtual PC on the network.

I was able to identify my Quest 2 from the M1 MacBook Air (via Parallels 17, Windows 11). I switched the VM Network from Shared to Bridged WiFi. Once it connects, it shows an error on the Quest, saying something about the host not being available to connect to anymore and SteamVR shows an error about a hardware codec. This seems odd since the M1 Mac GPU supports HEVC encoding. Not sure how I can get more granular information about the error.
