I'll send a screenshot when I wake up in the morning.
quiet umbra
you need to launch steamvr first - before touching headset
and you must launch it from alvr, and have all the mandatory custom options applied
ivory mauve
I am unable to install APK as well
It just says cannot find connected device.
I'll try what you said tomorrow.
quiet umbra
you can install apk from store
cable will not be detected unless you follow guide and enable usb debugging
can use wifi - dont need cable
ivory mauve
Even with trying air link, It doesn't recognize the pc.
There is no blackscreen, It just straight up does not see the PC.
quiet umbra
headset is last step, you need to connect alvr to steamvr first
there is big message on alvr telling you about this
ivory mauve
they are connected.
I cannot install the apk, The headset doesn't link. My pc knows there is a connection but doesn't recognize it.
quiet umbra
it only works in developer mode
with working authorised adb
without that you can only use store version and wifi
the connection you see is just the simple file sharing one, not usb debugging
you gotta enable developer mode - then click authorise in headset
Note that your headset will need to have Developer Mode and USB Debugging enabled to use this feature.```but you can use wifi so just dont bother lol
if wifi isnt working then your network is not setup right
probably you are using wifi on pc which is common mistake, use ethernet instead - only use wifi on headset
ivory mauve
Finally got the Ethernet cable, Now it just says IP not recognized. Also Disconnected still.
ivory mauve
ALVR is also on the Headset.
quiet umbra
need to setup ethernet right - pc connected to router
ivory mauve
My partner's PC which is still on windows and has a ethernet connection can connect to the headset.
quiet umbra
dont use a "bridge" - connect the cable from pc to wifi router, without anything interfering
ivory mauve
Its a networking bridge, just extends the connection. well it just adds extra connections.
It can link up to my partner's pc on the same bridge but not mine.
ivory mauve
My partner's PC which is still on windows and has a ethernet connection can conn...
you ignored this.
and the apk still won't install.
ivory mauve
Handshake error for the headset.
ivory mauve
It works, now the menus are just static.
a lot of desync warnings though.
Large pixels all over the place.
quiet umbra
lose the bridge
use direct ethernet connection only and do not throw away performance
bridge or "network extenders" are not suitable for high performance vr use
ivory mauve
So it's a bottleneck.
ivory mauve
How is over 500Mb/s not fast enough.
quiet umbra
coz it doesnt really deliver that speed
instead it just repeats your packets and halves your performance
ivory mauve
It was artifacting.
ivory mauve
Pretty sure Artifacting is not internet related.

Which headset are you using?
