This release includes a variety of bug fixes and quality of life improvements for SteamVR.

We continue to focus on OpenXR as our preferred API for new games and applications. SteamVR’s official OpenXR subforum is here and we’d love to hear your feedback, as well as suggestions for new features.

SteamVR:

• Fix a crash in vrserver that could happen during application launch.
  
• Fix a rare crash in vrserver related to input.
  
• Fixed rendering issue with recenter iconography.
  
• Enable UI animations on all platforms.
  
• Fixed VR streaming bug, where the wireless HMD could sometimes see "invalid streaming key" (see also: the Steam Beta Client update).
  
• Improved auto-added haptics on OpenXR applications (digital actions on analog components)
  
• Fixed OpenXR freeze/crash that happened with some games (e.g. ETS2).
  

Index / Vive:

• Moved quick Recenter to system button release, which allows users to power off controllers without recentering.
  

Meta / Quest:

Developer:
