hi, I'm using a Meta Quest 2 to connect to my PC running SteamVR 2.11.2. I have managed to connect and most things work, I can see the game on my display and it is very clear that it is tracking. However my issue is that this doesn't appear to be streaming, and I only see passthrough. On the steamvr preview, it shows gameplay however. Any idea what could be causing this? I'm not familiar with PCVR and this is my first time using ALVR, so patience is appreciated
#connected and can see gameplay

yes that link, bot. XD
ok it appears I'm getting some useful errors now
they are, in order of appearance:
error in encoder thread: Failed to transfer Vulkan image to CUDA frame Generic error in an external library
Encoder: -> CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE: invalid argument
An error has occurred.
Encoder:
soo from the sounds of things it's vulcan/cuda related. Again, unfamiliar with PCVR, ALVR and whatever wizadry they use to make GPUs work
Any clue what the errors mean? It's working perfectly fine from the PC's end, I can even see the gameplay on the steamvr preview and in the game window, it just doesn't appear on my headset
Given that, I'd assume the issue is to do with getting the stream to appear on the headset, since from the gameply I can see it is tracking motion and even finger tracking works
But I will try ask in a nix-related space, see if any1 there knows abt using alvr
might be the former, it throws the warning to include it in my launch options even if I have
