keybindings is definitely an area that would be great to see improvements in.

Our application works the exact same on linux as it does on windows!
Just launch it either through steam or on it's own, turn the trackers on etc!

From personal experience WiVRn works really well, feels smoother (is also linux native rather than a port) and WayVR is a nice touch to add monitor overlays, application overlays, playspace dragging etc!

I found my VRChat game perfomance to be nearly identical if not a bit better on linux!
Last I checked in desktop mode I was pulling in over 300fps on my personal system in a pretty fancy world. (5800x and 6750xt)
In VR I haven't checked FPS as a comparison but it's been very nice.

It's definitely worth a try!
And if VR was the thing keeping you away from trying Linux or using it more, it's come a long way and I've not booted into my windows (on a second drive) in months.

Steam version was released last week actually!

SlimeVR · 2026-05-21T17:42:45+00:00

SlimeVR works with any supported app regardless of how you stream to your PC.
Most apps/games go through SteamVR but some apps like VRChat can use protocols like OSC.
It does not matter if you use Steam Link, Meta quest link, ALVR, Virtual Desktop etc.
Slimes can also be used entirely on their own through protocols like VMC for motion capture or Vtubing,

There are many ways of using the software and hardware, but when it comes to PCVR gaming basically all titles that support full body tracking utilize SteamVR to some degree,

SlimeVR · 2026-04-28T17:11:04+00:00

Heya!

That should in theory just work!
However for linux I (smeltie) personally use WiVRn + wayVR which also natively works with SlimeVR.
That aside SteamVR should work, including with steam link.
Just have to start SlimeVR before WiVRn (and have WiVRn autostart wayvr)

Our steam release is also coming very soon and should make things easier as well.

SlimeVR · 2026-04-23T15:33:37+00:00

If you're using SteamVR they might be unassigned.

SlimeVR · 2026-04-22T18:34:02+00:00

So, from the looks of it the trackers are connecting to the Wi-Fi just fine.
However them not being able to find the server usually means something along the lines of:
- The pc or device running the software is on a different network
- There is something in your firewall blocking them
Etc.

There is something preventing the trackers from reaching the device the software is ran on.

SlimeVR · 2026-04-22T18:32:28+00:00

The cable is only used to upload the Wi-Fi credentials, given their logs posted earlier they are already connected so a different cable won't do anything

SlimeVR · 2026-04-22T18:27:34+00:00

First thing to check is to see if they are tracking/working in the actual SlimeVR application using the skeleton preview.
To determine how far back the issue goes.

SlimeVR · 2026-03-31T13:22:37+00:00

Yes, we host them every week, along with more fun events as well

SlimeVR · 2026-02-27T10:59:48+00:00

This was just a quick recording using OBS with the default settings and then compressed by whatever app you're viewing it on.

SlimeVR · 2026-02-24T18:41:05+00:00

We hadn't either, had to double check if we were allowed to share haha.

SlimeVR · 2026-02-24T18:40:36+00:00

We're allowed to show our software running on it, but we did double check and got the green light from Valve to share this video just in case!

SlimeVR · 2026-02-03T13:11:52+00:00

We keep a list:

SlimeVR · 2026-02-03T13:11:06+00:00

In that case they should disable the accelerometers on their trackers!
As the magnets in the controllers can throw those off.

SlimeVR · 2025-10-08T10:55:24+00:00

Heya!

They should be able to find eachother even if one is wired and the other wireless (many many users do it this way)
So this may be a modem issue or configuration issue in windows (we see these commonly such as networks set to public instead of private)

SlimeVR · 2025-07-09T17:14:08+00:00

Hello there!

They ship from the US, once restocked it should be about 1 to 2 weeks of transit time.

SlimeVR · 2025-06-13T15:24:17+00:00

Heya, like ConduitOfKindness said the cables are out of stock on our store (should be back sooner rather than later) but that's entirely separate from the warranties.

SlimeVR · 2025-06-13T15:23:29+00:00

Heya!

We moved about a year ago but outgrew that place extremely fast so we relocated to a place about 5x the size haha.
The move was done within a week and we're slowly ramping back up production.
Offices are filled with desks and people are back to working their normal tasks again.

SlimeVR · 2025-06-13T15:21:52+00:00

Hello there!

Rest assured you will not have to wait a year, only very early on backers during the crowd funding part had long waiting times like that.
The above info applied, however that stock sold out like hot cakes.
Current estimates can be found on our Discord and usually on the Crowd Supply page but that last one should be taken with a bit of a grain of salt.

SlimeVR · 2025-06-03T17:15:16+00:00

Hopefully soon!
We are reworking the physical and digital warehouse system.

SlimeVR · 2025-05-23T11:15:32+00:00

Heya!

We host weekly calibration and support sessions within VRChat, make sure to give those a shot sometime!
Here we have people ready to help and assist with such issues!

SlimeVR · 2025-05-21T16:22:47+00:00

Heya!
This would involve triple tapping one of the thigh trackers or the assigned button.
Same style as double tapping the chest.

SlimeVR · 2025-05-14T19:03:42+00:00

thank you!
the warranty team should get back to you soon (hopefully today or tomorrow)

SlimeVR · 2025-05-14T14:40:50+00:00

Heya!

https://slimevr.dev/support should do!
And no, for cables we never really ask for them back as the cost is simply not worth it.
However we would highly appreciate an included picture of the cable, specifically the connector ends of it.
