For som reason my textures are broken when I start VRChat, if I look with btop, my iGPU is used by SteamVR, even tho I told it not but works fine, I can use SteamVR ui in VR but when I start VRChat, it starts on the right dGPU and causes weird artifacts to show up.
NixOS 25.05
Hardware, Ryzen 7 7840HS and RX 7700s equivalent to a RX 7600.

Have you checked the wiki?

The cmd line option seems borged on NixOS, it only tells me to use the custom link, I added in the launch options.

Yea nix is weird as usual just manually find the correct path

I used endeavour OS (arch) and there it worked in game but SteamVR was borged the same way, probably graphics card related.

No, thats not the problem, that it solved itself.
It found steam and stuff.
I think the encoding needs to happen on the same device, am I right?

Also what laptop do you have those specs look a lot like mine
vital gorge
Also the game itself also needs the flags

Nah am joking, Framework 16.

No, SteamVR, refuses to use my dGPU, I tried to set the DRI_PRIME=1 variable or whatever its called in multiple creative ways, because nix and it still wants to use my iGPU.
That then causes LRVR to use the wrong GPU.
Or so it thinks.

Have you checked with say anything of the graphics top tools like nvtop to confirm?

Yeah, I see with btop that my RAM of the iGPU gets used.
Not bullet proof, I know, I sadly cannot test it, as of now, because I am on a vacation.
I can test on Monday, just want to know some trouble shooting steps.

You might have to do it with steam itself too given that the overlay now apart of the regular steam process

Hmm, I tried that too, somehow ignored it.
Also, isn't DRI_PRIME=1 only for opengl?

I just want to hack it to work, not know everything about the render pipelines of Linux.
Foxdamnit.

As it won't work by default without the correct layers
Specifically
https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=vulkan-mesa-layers
For arch

Also, BTW, I run Wayland.

Shouldn't matter in this case dri is a lot lower level than display protos
Anyway I need sleep so hopefully this will be enough when you can try it

Oki, I dumb some more stuff, here.
So, apparently the framework 16 has a mux switch, I think?
How do they work?
brittle meteor
@vital gorge go to bed!
brittle meteor
I can do that too. Thanks, is it possible to make a setting, long term in ALVR?
shy rain
you need it in more than just alvr i think
you can make stuff global by putting in /etc/environment - but not sure if you really want to do that

Yeah, no.
Normally, the program: gamemode does that.
Where you use it like sudo and it runs commands for you, like setting env vars.
Oki

Any luck?
