Hi. I tried ALVR today and i liked it so imma keep using. Only 1 problem tho. Steam doesnt pick up that im using a Q3 and when i put in my serial number it just has a "H" icon... The reasoning to why i am posting about this is because i play beat saber and on beat saber leaderboards (beatleader, scoresaber) it appears as i am using a quest 2. Any tips? (My controllers appear as Q3 controllers in steamvr)

Are you emulating that you have a Quest 3?

#

It doesnt give me the option to. Do i need to use nightly for that?

#

I’m not sure if you actually do. You might wanna g-

#

Oh.

#

Yeah, you might need Nightly build then. I actually never play around with the headset emulation when I hop on in beat saber
-# or I just never have the time to remember 😭

#

Ah okay yeah cuz this is an example of what it shows on those custom leaderboard websites. One says "Unkown" and the other says Q2

Is this the correct repo? https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR-nightly

GitHub

GitHub - alvr-org/ALVR-nightly: Nightly releases of ALVR - untested...

Nightly releases of ALVR - untested and potentially unstable. - alvr-org/ALVR-nightly

#

The Readme.md looks so empty so im unsure if this is the one

#

Oh I don’t even know. I just use the ALVR Launcher and run the newest nightly build I see.

rocky spindle Dec 20, 2024, 2:07 AM

#

Oh i can download it from the launcher?

sterile wind Dec 20, 2024, 2:07 AM

#

The newest nightly builds? I assume yes

rocky spindle Dec 20, 2024, 2:07 AM

#

Oh sick yeah i could

sterile wind Dec 20, 2024, 2:07 AM

#

I just downloaded one earlier today, I forgot the number. 💀

#

But it also reminds me.. the headset is called a Miracast whenever the user uses ALVR for PCVR.

#

There is no option for q3... do i just try with my serial code?

#

sterile wind Dec 20, 2024, 2:09 AM

#

Maybe?

#

I’ve never tried the Serial before.

rocky spindle Dec 20, 2024, 2:18 AM

#

sterile wind Dec 20, 2024, 2:19 AM

#

#

Shucks, I’m all out of ideas then. I’m not too skilled with tryna get serials

rocky spindle Dec 20, 2024, 2:22 AM

#

aight hmm

#

I have come to the conclusion that i will not be using ALVR until this issue if fixed for me. If anyone has any tips i or anything for me to try then i will be more than happy to try.

the UI is confusing and has 2 items called "emulation mode", one is for headset, other is for controllers

I have enabled the emulation mode for q3 controllers and they work fine but its the headset that gets detected as unknown when i use serial number (there is no q3 option)
