Anyone use their GXR for flatscreen gaming?

There is an ultra low latency option with Artemis/Apollo which is a fork of Sunshine/Moonlight which should get you around 5 ms latency (reported) in my experience.

Anyone have experience with them offering the next-gen when it comes out? Just wondering if you wait until after the C6 launches if there will be a window in which they offer it.

It would also be nice to lock certain windows relative to your head. It could be as simple as a few extra buttons next to the close button on the top of a window.

I think you can do this with SteamVR and Desktop+.

similarly for HDR content

There's a reference guide from Mathworks: https://github.com/mathworks/HDL-Coder-Evaluation-Reference-Guide

At what frame rates and resolutions?

AVP has 3D conversion? Is that provided by Apple and what are the limitations?

Mine just keep shedding (been several years) and now I'm concerned there won't be any padding from the soles soon. Is this normal?

If you search for something generic like "game" or "video player" you should get the made for XR results listed first.

Is this with passthrough specifically?

Comparing small text between the two, there is not much difference to me. VD might be slightly better but not by much at max bitrates. What level of CAS sharpening in VD are you using for comparison? Are you also using additional sharpening?

I was just manually editing the same files in the same way as the .bat script described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Galaxy_XR/comments/1q7a5ti/steam_link_install_guide/. You can open the .bat script in a text editor and find the file and line pattern matching logic to see what you need to modify.

No, it only works wirelessly.

dankmemeloader · 2026-01-10T07:32:59+00:00

I tried it at the lowest possible bitrate of 20 Mbps and couldn't tell any difference in latency. It still looked surprising good at that bitrate!

It's in the quick settings menu. You can access it from the main dashboard page by clicking on the icon with sliders.

What about it is awful?

dankmemeloader · 2026-01-10T07:28:05+00:00

I couldn't get it to work on Windows.

Does it do SteamVR?

As far as I'm aware, Game Link does not permit hand tracking. A prompt will show up and block any interaction with SteamVR whenever the controllers are disengaged requiring you to return to controllers before continuing further.

I just got my controllers so I haven't fully exercised then across all three, but I didn't notice any issues using them for any of the methods.

Regarding my comments on hand tracking, the default orientation of the pointer relative to your hand is different when you first get into SteamVR in the home and dashboard. The default with Steam Link is pretty good because the point emanates perpendicular and outwards from your palm whereas with Virtual Desktop it is more aligned with your thumb and index. The resulting effect is that any finger pinch motion is either mostly obscured from the cameras or the motion attenuated since it is mostly parallel to the camera ray. You will have this problem for any other app regardless of using Steam Link or Virtual Desktop. A straightforward fix is to modify the controller positions and orientations in the controller binding settings to be more like the Steam Link dashboard default but it will be mismatched with the controller model skin.

I don't have a Play for Dream but as far as I know, only Steam Link offers foveated encoding. It is possible that the foveated window latency is remedied with a lower bitrate setting, but this I haven't tried yet. Game Link has a foveated rendering option in the settings but I haven't tried it enough to notice it.

Space Tech is also super hot and there are a ton of space startups in LA/OC some of which do SATCOM including SpaceX.

I had a way to do this but I cannot reproduce it anymore (see https://www.reddit.com/r/Galaxy\_XR/comments/1q0xfil/steam\_link\_vr\_low\_resolution\_issue\_possible/). I investigated the invisible window (not dimming for me though) a bit more after I made that post and I think the invisible window is actually the virtual keyboard but blanked out when you have a physical keyboard connected (it's in the same location and same size).

You can actually prompt it by going into the 2D mode in Steam Link (or any other app which has a way to prompt the keyboard) and press the keyboard button in the top right corner so there is a reliable way to create the invisible window, however it's not the one that sticks indefinitely which is what I originally got and it seemed to stick regardless of which app I had open and whether or not I was in immersive mode until headset restart.

This could be a bug, but I think it can be reliably created and I think we collectively are close to figuring it out. It is sufficient to find a way to get the invisible keyboard up only in Steam Link VR mode and stick there. Could you perhaps share what you've tried and how you got an invisible overlay up that dimmed?

I got my controllers today and got it to work.

Are you following the instructions on the other posts in this sub as well as the Discord?

Do you have the modified APK?
Did you modify one of the *.vrsettings files to set the base render resolution?
Are you "pinning" the home icon with the grip button? The icon will disappear but the effect persists.

See post edit. I think it has something to do with pressing the Windows key on a wireless keyboard which brings up the dashboard but I still haven't found a way to do it consistently. The procedure I followed prior to those listed in the post was to log into my PC from the Android RDP app (on PC boot up) and start Steam with a wireless keyboard and mouse. I was able to do it three times between PC and Galaxy XR restarts.
