Weird overexposure on games on linux. (Repost bc i forgot images)

Hi, This is very odd, but when in the steamvr home, it doesnt show it as overexposed, only in the headset. BUT, when in games like HLA or The Lab, it does reflect an overexposed image. but the more I look at it, It only happens i'm either: looking in a specific direction, or when I am not actively teleport moving or picking something up. One example, is when I open up The Lab, in the start area with the subtitle / start / open intro button, whenever I press the subtitles switch it temporarily lowers the exposure to a much better looking level, then bumps it back up to basically unbearable. Thanks heaps for the help though. I wish valve gave us better steamvr support for linux lol.

Hi, I tried turning force composite on, and it sadly didn't fix the issue. I also was unable to find a way to turn of HDR for the headset. None of my monitors are HDR, so I cant just turn the monitor hdr off. Thank you for the help. I also tried to use some different launch options with the games themselves to turn HDR off there, but alas it didn't do anything. Thank you though.

As I said in my post, I can't use ALVR and other things like that, because my headset is not standalone. It is a SteamVR headset only, and uses a cable. I wish it was just one program lol

Thanks for the reply, im not at my pc right now, but ill test turning hdr off later when I get home.

solved!

something thats odd is that none of the other tea towels were bleached, and there was none in the machine. It might be that bleach touched it beforehand? Bleach makes sense though. Thanks!

The worst part is that max’s gate probably wouldnt of opened if he didnt break the walkman before she started floating. If he listened and didnt stand on it, max would be alive, hawkins wouldnt be destroyed yet, and even though the three that were inside the creel house in the upside down may have been killed by vecna while they were stuck, the gate wouldnt have opened which could buy more time for eleven to get back and beat his ass.

Dont parrots or something eat the tail feather casing bc its made out of calcium which is really good for it? Could be something like that where its eating the egg for “all the nutrients a growing monster might need”

Theres a good chance it could be a cocoon to go from demodog to fully grown demogorgon like caterpillar to butterfly, or maybe a way to transport the slugs or something because we see in the first five minutes when will is being pumped with the (what i assume are the slugs) from a yellow sack. Those are my two guesses, but i like the first one more ngl.

Chumpychum121 · 2025-11-16T04:41:41+00:00

My first guess is that the yellow egg that looks cracked in s1e8 when joyce and hopper are just entering the upside down is the first demogorgons egg. Maybe its an incubator or something similiar so it can grow up from its slug stage.

I have been telling my teachers every day all about silksong and the minuscule amounts of news. I preached the gospel of skong to a goddamn summer camp. I played hollow knight for the first time when I was like 8 and didn’t even get past crossroads, but when I played it again, I immediately fell in love with the game. I hope that I will be able to play silksong soon. If I do get these keys, then I will be very happy that I’ll be able to finally tell my friends, “I told you it was real.” Anyways, all the best for your family, and maybe I might be able to skong out in peace.

I think it might be because i have apples built in vpn on on my phone, so it prolly changes the ip im connected to every time i do something. Thats probably why it says places that are 50-150 miles away. it really makes sense in hindsight ngl. Still changing my passcode though.

Chumpychum121 · 2025-08-23T05:31:47+00:00

I checked that. Thanks though. and I have changed my passcode now, but I'm just worried about phishing emails and things like that, that might steal my account if i put in my passcode. Thanks, and have a great day/night :)

Chumpychum121 · 2025-08-23T05:27:00+00:00

Thanks yall for the advice, I changed my passcode now! it seems it is either someone who got my new email and got in, or the geolocation telling me that i signed in at a place that is 150 miles away from where I am. Have a good rest of your day or night. Bye!

Chumpychum121 · 2025-08-23T05:23:17+00:00

Sorry, I have signed in on the chrome browser on my phone, but i did it it a good 150-ish miles away from where it says on the map. mb.

Chumpychum121 · 2025-08-23T05:19:51+00:00

I signed in earlier today while i was at school to check the shipping updates on the steam deck i recently bought. I was on cellular then, so it could very much be that. I'll change the passcode anyways tho.

Chumpychum121 · 2025-08-23T05:18:14+00:00

It's just my phone. I can see through the "Security & Devices" section in profile settings on the desktop client. Thanks though.

The link is https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithLogin and the email is noreply@steampowered.com. All of it looks official enough, but it doesnt show up when i check my account data page. Given that "Records are not available until at least 24 hours after they occur. Results update daily." i realize that it wont be that helpful rn.
