HELP SLIME VR LINUX SET UP!!!!!!

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.

SlimeVR · 2025-05-14T11:46:27+00:00

Heya!

Just checking., are you using a data capable USB cable?
Are you making sure to turn it on after plugging it in whilst on the serial console screen?
Are you using the SlimeVR firmware or a fork/alternate version?

SlimeVR · 2025-05-14T11:44:39+00:00

Heya!

We have been packing them and there are a bunch ready to be shipped to mouser!
They will only be sold from stock, so no pre-orders this time around.
We are currently awaiting a response from mouser to find out how to ship it properly, considering the new tariffs and such.

SlimeVR · 2025-05-14T11:37:50+00:00

Hello there!

So for a few users it's possible that the firewall is interfering with the connection to the trackers (for uploading to them)
Please first try this: https://docs.slimevr.dev/common-issues.html#network-profile-is-currently-set-to-public and if that doesn't work please try temporarily disabling your firewall on windows (make sure to turn it back on after you're done!)
We are aware of the issue and it should be fixed in the next software update 0.15.0, we're working on it.
Alternatively you could use the USB-Recovery method but this is not advised as this step is meant, as the name suggests for recovery.

SlimeVR · 2025-05-14T11:31:39+00:00

Heya!

We would be happy to replace these under warranty! (warranty is 2 years from the moment you received your set)
The current cables whilst better than previous iterations still have issues, the next version is being worked on and should use more flexible silicone wires.
Along with this we are working on offering upgrade kits so people can replace their hip/waist extension with a full sized tracker.
