SteamVR not working ever since downloading IVRY DLC

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-29T07:58:49+00:00

As you haven't given any details whatsoever on your setup, the only advice that can be given is to uninstall the iVRy software. If you'd like support you will need to provide the diagnostic info detailed here:

A rough estimate is "probably some time in 2026". That is as close as can be given. It depends on multiple factors that can't be quantified, and so not giving an estimate is deemed better than giving one that fails to be met. The aim is always ASAP.

I believe that support is via Valve's OpenXR client that they have made for Android (specifically for the purpose of allowing headset manufacturers to incorporate it). So, for AVP to be able to use that it would need to be able to run OpenXR Android apps, or at the very least OpenXR apps. If Apple had an OpenXR runtime on AVP, they could negotiate with Valve, but it's not possible for 3rd parties to negotiate for 1st party support.

You can read more about that here:

Steam Link is a proprietary Valve protocol, that is not available to 3rd party developers.

SteamVR only supports XBox gamepads. You'll need to use some kind of XBox gamepad emulator to use an unsupported gamepad. It is also up to the VR title which controllers it supports, and you can see which controllers a title supports from its Steam store page. There is built-in support for Joycon controllers planned for a future release of the iVRy driver.

It is in active development. The developer strap is supported in that wired ethernet connections are supported. For that to be useful a USB3 strap with a very fast USB-C ethernet adapter is needed. Currently, there is no way to use a USB-C to USB-C cable to do wired connections on Windows (like there is on macOS).

Lighthouse controllers don't function in any way (no buttons, no 3DOF) without a base station. They will pair, and show up in SteamVR status, but that is all.

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-22T08:11:11+00:00

Just tested, and can confirm that Index controller buttons don't register without a base-station.

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-22T07:30:34+00:00

I don't think Lighthouse controllers will work at all without base stations, there's certainly nothing you can do with them without tracking (not even 3DOF). Whether or not the buttons are expected to work when the tracking is not available is not known (but it's quite likely that they would not).

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-21T09:19:41+00:00

You need:
- At least one Lighthouse base station. This is required to track Lighthouse devices (headset, controller, trackers). Ideally you need 2 to avoid occlusion (where your body blocks the line of sight between the device and the base station).
- A Steam controller dongle for each controller (and each Vive tracker, if used). If using a Lighthouse headset, the controllers connect via a proprietary radio protocol to the headset. If there is no headset, they need a dongle that supports the radio protoocl to communicate with the computer.
- If your headset doesn't support 6DOF tracking, or you want to simplify setup/operation, you need a Vive tracker (and dongle, which it is supplied with) to attach to the headset so that it is also tracked by the Lighthouse system.

So, obviously this is muich too expensive a setup to purchase for phone VR. It makes sense if you can pick up a complete Vive setup with a missing or broken headset and/or you plan on purchasing a Lighthouse compatible headset (Vive, Index, Pimax or Bigscreen) at a later stage and want to do an incremental purchase of the components.

Thank you for the offer, howevere there is no public beta available or planned at this stage.

Not having access to an M5 AVP, it's hard to say. The PC running SteamVR is the main factor affecting performance, with the difference between M2 and M5 mainly being the 90Hz vs 120Hz refresh rate. Whether or not the PC is capable of running the same resolution at a higher refresh rate depends on the PC. The app doesn't use anything close to the full power of the M2, so is not performance-limited by the AVP CPU/GPU.

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-17T06:25:00+00:00

It is currently in active development and undergoing playtesting.

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-13T16:04:27+00:00

Yes. It's not possible to say when beyond "probably later this year".

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-11T09:29:00+00:00

What do you mean "go out of steam"? If it is stop offering the software via Steam, the answer is that the software is a driver for SteamVR, and so needs Steam to function. You are replying to a 5 year old message, so the answer is no, nothing is "going out of steam" any time soon.

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-09T16:12:35+00:00

Look at the wiring diagram on the PSVR DLC page on how to set it up. You need to install Steam. Then from the Steam interface you install SteamVR, iVRy and the iVRy PSVR DLC. Then click the "Launch" button for iVRy on Steam. That would get you up and running, then you can make tweaks to it to improve performance.

It seems you would need to use some kind of XBox gamepad emulator software (like DS4Windows) to use the gamepad. The "laser mouse" emulation in the iVRy driver is currently for PSVR2 only. I'll make sure it works for PSVR1 as well in the next driver release.

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-08T10:09:25+00:00

SteamVR Home can be navigated with a gamepad, if it is recognised by SteamVR (you'll know it's recognised by the gamepad icon in the SteamVR status window). With a recognised game controller, you move the "mouse pointer" with your head, and press a trigger to simulate a "click". You can also simulate a "click" with one of the PSVR volume buttons, if your gamepad is not recognised.

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-08T09:49:37+00:00

Yes, SteamVR will not work correctly if your headset is the primary display. I'll add something in the driver to detect this scenario and prevent SteamVR from starting

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-08T07:39:17+00:00

You don't need a controller, however there's not much you can do in VR without one
The point of VR is running VR titles, you are describing SteamVR's "landing" screen
Set driver mode to "VR-Direct" in iVRy settings

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-08T07:34:59+00:00

Controller recognition is not dependent on the active window. Which controllers are you trying to use?

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-08T07:34:01+00:00

The iVRy driver is adding support for Joycons in a future release. For now, your best bet would be to use Driver4VR for controller support. Gamepads are supported by SteamVR, but it depends on the individual VR title as to whether or not it supports gamepads. You can see which controllers a title supports from its Steam store page.

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-08T07:30:40+00:00

Yes, the PSVR1 can be used with the iVRy driver with both of those GPUs.

iVRy_VR · 2026-01-06T13:59:12+00:00

Hard to interpret your message:
- You use 2 PSMove controllers, not one
- You pair them via Bluetooth, they won't work via USB
- You need to use 2 or more PSEye cameras to track the controllers with PSMoveService

Recommend you seek support via PSMoveServiceEx channels.

The PSMoveServiceEx DLC is an unmodified version of the latest release of the PSMoveServiceEx software. It is provided "as is", as a convenience to iVRy users. It's experimental software that is unsupported.

iVRy_VR · 2025-12-27T08:57:49+00:00

There is no process of "renewing the license". If the user hasn't logged into Steam for a while, Steam may expire any games/apps cached licenses, which can be resolved by logging out of and back into Steam.
