Like many the last SteamVR update seems to have caused issues from not being able to load SteamVR at all to lag and microstutters in VR games. For myself, when the June 2nd update came I could no longer use SteamVR. I would get a component error and I needed to reinstall SteamVR. NOTE: I'm on Linux. I tried to the Beta version dated June 5th but that had the same issues as the stable release. I read that the previous version should resolve the issues. So I installed the previous build and it works fine if I leave my ALVR settings in default. The moment I change just one item (like going from medium resolution to high resolution or 72 to 90hz) then SteamVR goes into a loop of connect/disconnect. TROUBLESHOOTING: I verified my files per forum suggestions when I noticed something on the SteamVR Status Windows (the little icons for the headset and controllers): STEAMVR previous 2.12.14 That can't be right. 2.12.14 is old. So I then checked STEAMVR -> Help -> About Built Aug 15, 2025 at 16:34 Version 2.12.14 (1755290071) Wait, I thought Steam -> SteamVR -> Properties -> Game Versions & Betas the previous build said previous would be March 27, 2026. I then checked the logs: Tue Jun 09 2026 18:21:51.020129 [Info] - steam 2.12.14 startup with PID=2555, config=/home/mark/.local/share/Steam/config, runtime=/home/mark/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR Then a version check of vrserver: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/vrserver --version VR Server (v1755290071) ... appid(250820)/version(2.12.14) According to Steam -> SteamVR -> Properties -> Game Versions & Betas the previous build should be March 27, 2026 and https://steamdb.info/ reports -> Introducing SteamVR 2.15 - 26 March 2026 and https://steamdb.info/ reports -> SteamVR build 2.12.14 - 18 August 2025 From https://steamdb.info/app/250820/patchnotes/ Builds Date Day Time Patch Title BuildID 2 June 2026 Tue 18:56 MAJOR Introducing SteamVR 2.16 23531645 26 March 2026 Thu 02:54 MAJOR Introducing SteamVR 2.15 22503223 24 December 2025 Wed 01:07 SteamVR Beta Updated - 2.14.5 21281713 18 December 2025 Thu 08:38 No title 21232509 9 December 2025 Tue 20:41 SteamVR Hotfix 2.14.4 21120662 24 November 2025 Mon 22:20 SteamVR Beta Updated - 2.14.3 20898164 11 November 2025 Tue 20:28 MAJOR Introducing SteamVR 2.13 20747348 18 August 2025 Mon 21:37 SteamVR Beta Updated - 2.12.14 19617312 5 August 2025 Tue 18:27 SteamVR Beta Updated - 2.12.9 19452367 5 June 2025 Thu 21:44 SteamVR Hotfix 2.11.2 18756611 3 June 2025 Tue 21:01 SteamVR Beta Updated - 2.11.1 18448283 8 May 2025 Thu 00:26 SteamVR Hotfix 2.10.4 18381782 I forced a reinstall and then did the same install to my desktop computer. Two different computers. Same results. SteamVR previous 2.12.14 is from August 18, 2025. Before Steam installed the broken stable version I was running the 2.13 stable build from November 11 without issue. Is there a way to install the actual 2.15 or even the last stable build of 2.13?
