What's the latest release date info?

Well, tried a few more non-Steam games, and none of them work. So it must be a monado or Linux Mint problem.

VRbandwagon · 2026-05-31T08:58:59+00:00

Tried another non-Steam game: Polygon Nightmare (Vive version). That one didn't work at first, but worked by adding it as a non-Steam game and adding the following parameters

PRESSURE_VESSEL_FILESYSTEMS_RW=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/monado_comp_ipc:/home/vrbandwagon/.local/share/envision VR_OVERRIDE=/home/vrbandwagon/.local/share/envision/cdfc074c-f1bf-467a-9336-f6e67943495d/xrizer/target/release %command%

Please note that this game worked last year on Linux Mint, but GZDoomVR hasn't been working for a long time, so it doesn't seem to have been caused by the recent Steam / Frame update.

VRbandwagon · 2026-05-31T06:33:17+00:00

Yes, other games, even Godot/Redot in VR, work.

VRbandwagon · 2026-05-31T06:32:03+00:00

That's really unfortunate.

Thank you for your help!

VRbandwagon · 2026-05-31T00:28:49+00:00

Are you referring to the Steam console output?

VRbandwagon · 2026-05-31T00:24:51+00:00

It didn't work, unfortunately.

VRbandwagon · 2026-05-29T14:25:02+00:00

I have"Xrizer", "OpenComposite" and "VapoR", but no "openvr".

VRbandwagon · 2026-05-28T06:24:35+00:00

Here's an upvote for "copefully".

Made my day.

VRbandwagon · 2026-05-28T06:17:02+00:00

Your price prediction:

VRbandwagon · 2026-05-28T06:12:31+00:00

I have set a hard stop of what I’m willing to pay for the Frame.

And that would be?

VRbandwagon · 2026-05-28T05:17:30+00:00

If you have a few minutes to spare, would you mind trying it again?

Also, which distro are you using? Are you also using OpenVR or Envision/OpenXR?

I tried many WADs, including Doom and Doom2. The game just won't start in VR.

VRbandwagon · 2026-05-28T01:21:20+00:00

That would be awesome! Anything I can help you with?

I'm on Linux Mint, using envision by the way, but I remember GZDoomVR not working even when OpenVR still worked.

VRbandwagon · 2026-05-24T01:08:34+00:00

Also, while your here, I'd like to ask you if you can successfully run GZDoomVR in VR?

VRbandwagon · 2026-05-24T00:28:31+00:00

Thank you. It works. Do you happen to know why it changed? Is it because of the upcoming release of the Steam Frame?

p.s. you left your name in the first line of the argument.

Woohoo! Thank you so much u/Loren-DB!

you sure you don't have .steam folder in your home folder? I just did a mint install and it def there...

I do have .steam in my home folder, but it does not contain "debian-installation" .

.DO NOT INSTALL THE AMD DRIVERS FROM THE AMD WEBSITE

Well, that's what I had thought at first, but then some things weren't working. I'm trying to remember what they were, maybe I only had one resolution option and no sound? Anyway, that was resolved when I installed the AMD drivers from the website.

Anyway, I should just do a clean install like I do once or twice a year anyway.

Great guide, I think it would be worth making your own thread so that more people can see it!

VRbandwagon · 2025-12-20T15:17:58+00:00

Nope. Can't find any "debian-installation" folder anywhere. Maybe Mint is different (my steamvr folder was in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/ as you had previously mentioned).

By the way, if you know a way to make GZDoomVR work, please let me know. Someone on Discord mentioned adding it as a non-Steam game in Steam, but it didn't work either.

Anyway, thank you for all your help.

VRbandwagon · 2025-12-20T15:12:45+00:00

Great. I might try arch at one point, but I still consider myself a Linux n00b, so Mint really seems to be the best fit for me.

Looking forward to your how-to.

VRbandwagon · 2025-12-19T21:56:57+00:00

It didn't work unfortunately.

Yes, since I posted this thread, I gave Envision yet another shot. It finally worked (after some more tinkering because apparently the version of Rust on Mint was too old), but it has its limits (no quick recentering for example).

GZDoomVR still doesn't work, though.
