  What’s the issue with it?

    Streaming from a Linux PC wasn’t working yet when LTT tested it on August 24th.

      I find that hard to believe. I’ve been able to stream just fine from Steam to a Quest 2 for months. It’s worked for years if you include using ALVR.

        Steam Frame has its own custom streaming hardware and drivers. Other types of VR-streaming working for other VR headsets isn’t really relevant. I’m sure they’ll get it to work soon though, maybe even at launch.

      When you actually receive one — in a acouple of months — it’ll work.

        I don’t think you’re in any position to guarantee that, and people should not spend $1,000+ on a feature that does not yet exist.

        Valve is running the first lottery on Sep. 17 and giving selectees 72 hours to purchase. They tend to ship out hardware pretty fast after that. I think so got my Steam Controller within 5 days of purchase.

      Oh shit! That would be a deal breaker for me.

      I don’t know if that’s a definite, vs not being able to stream from a steam machine specifically. You can already stream from linux pcs to other headsets, so I think the limitation is gamemode right now.
