Just downloaded alvr and i'm getting this error when i try to boot steamvr that says "steamvr failed to initialize for unknown reasons. (Error: vrclient shared lib not found (102) (102)). It also spawns in random blank windows every time I try to load steamvr which annoyingly don't go away when i try to close them. Sorry if this question has already been answered but i already looked up the issue and consulted the faq so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How? Sorry

what setup wizard?
should only be getting it from here https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/releases/tag/v20.12.1

update your linux mint and make sure nvidia stuff is installed properly
mint is very bad for this
all those weird problems are probably because mint
there is no official way to setup nvidia for mint - you will need third party repos and stuff
ie get your codecs from some weird repo and run weird scripts
it can be made to work - but better to use something more modern that works better - hard to not say something arch-based like endeavour os or cachyos

update your linux mint and make sure nvidia stuff is installed properly
also what do you mean by nvidia stuff
grim berry
drivers and codecs - if you dont have all this then nvidia will not work
granite nacelle
I mean i have the drivers n allat for gaming
grim berry
Codecs

alvr uses the codecs to do video streaming, regular games will not
linux mint is your problem
