Hi I'm using ALVR on nobara os and it connects to steamvr fine but when I click to view my desktop it's just a black screen, when looking on the ALVR GitHub it says to add the launch options to steamvr that points to vrmonitor.sh but I'm still getting the same issue, I've tried the latest version of ALVR and older versions but I can't seem to fix it, I'm trying to run vivecraft from prism launcher but it throws the error render setup failed: installation path could not be loaded (110) any help would be much appreciated
