Randomly kicked out of vr when using steam link with quest 3

[TheBeeFromFPV]

The VRlink Driver encountered a fatal error: Error: Failed nvEncEncodePicture errorcode: 4.

I've been consistently getting this error when ever I play blade and sorcery on my quest 3. Originally it would cause my entire screen to go black and force a hard reset or a bluescreen. It's calmed down to this now.

Specs are (off of a nitro 5 515-68)
NVIDIA RTX 4050 laptop GPU (6GB dedicated VRAM)
Intel 12th gen i5-12450H
16GB of memory
512GB SSD

Current things I've tried to fix it:
Swap to virtual desktop
Mess with in game settings
Mess with steamVR settings
Mess with VD settings
Full clean reinstall of graphic drivers
Uninstalling integrated graphics driver and reinstalling
Clean windows install

Honestly I'm just impressed at how badly my computer's messed up

Just realise I forgot operating software: Running windows 11 with nivida's 552.44 drivers (cause VD recommends them)

These kickouts i know but on Pico 4 which is using its own API (Pico Connect). But works like Steam-Link.So it is not this component which fails. Must be SteamVR itself.

Strange is that the VR-Experience is still working in background. Only the headset lost the connection to Steam.
Abd i am on AMD on Win 10, not Win 11 nor Nvidia.
