SideQuest is basically just an independent store/curator for Quest and by now also other headsets. You don’t need any account to download the free games. It has a companion app to help you add the games to your Quest but that’s not needed for Frame.

I know there’s IKEA Pancake Kitchen, which is unavailable in Germany for some reason.
There were some Spider-Man games as promotions for the movies, but they have been delisted. The one I have wouldn’t launch standalone anyways.
If we ever get a working WebXR browser there are a ton of browser games like spiderman.webvr.link and moonrider.xyz.
I have successfully started Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay. There is also Trials on Tatooine which I haven’t tested yet.
SideQuest also has a shit ton of free games. Most are for the Quest, but they may also work with Lepton. I have only tested Minecraft VR so far and that worked halfway (the game started but actual Minecraft did not start).

I’m too lazy to look it up. But can’t you adjust the full-pull-zone in the settings of the trigger, to make it more precise?

I think Dave2d was the one washing his. I guess the replacement kit is also good in case it doesn’t survive the wash after all.
- Comment on [Frame][Discussion] Accessories 1 day ago:
My wife got trigger happy and just bought all the official accessories. We’re probably going to return the replacement kit. Can’t think of a reason to keep it.
I’m probably going to get a power bank. Personally I am always near a power outlet. But maybe the kids could use it. Then again the limited battery life is a good way to limit their playtime. Although at the moment they always bring it back with some power left.

I’m really curious what people are going to do with that port.

There currently is no lying down mode available in SteamVR. I would be much obliged if anyone had a workaround abd/or could upvote the issue on Github. github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/…/970
- Comment on Frame Troubleshooting 1 day ago:
To add non-Steam games you can use the commandline tool
steamos-add-to-steam. You have to adjust it to be able to add apk files. Just add “application/vnd.android.package-archive” to the list at the bottom. - Comment on Frame Troubleshooting 1 day ago:
Yeah, mine’s off as well. Haven’t measured my eyes but I dialed it up as much as possible (69,8 or so) and it’s still not great. Have read of many others who did measure their own IPD and they had something between 70 and 75.

Current status is that it works in desktop mode. Normal Linux needs at least Kernel 7.2 and there’s a script you can run to help with troubleshooting.
- Comment on [Frame] Minecraft VR on the Frame ? 4 days ago:
QuestCraft launches but when I try to launch actual Minecraft it complains about a ton of missing libraries. But that doesn’t look like an unsolvable problem to me.
You can add non-Steam games to Steam for use with Lepton with the
steamos-add-to-steamcommandline script. You just have to modify it to allow files of the type “application/vnd.android.package-archive”. To modify it you could copy the script from/usr/binto your home (like~/.local/bin) and call it there.I’ve also tried the Prism route without any luck so far. Will try again when I find the energy.

I think many apps are missing due to missing ARM support. So no Heroic or other GOG client either.
- Comment on Nobody talked about the most useless feature of the Steam Frame 5 days ago:
Yeah, I watched The Road To El Dorado yesterday on a giant cinema screen. The surroundings actually gently change color depending on what’s showing on your flat screen. I just wish you could choose a black void as surroundings. But the default starry sky is dark enough.
I used the normal Jellyfin Desktop app installed as a flatpak through Discover.
You don’t even have to use the desktop mode. All newly installed apps are added to a menu on your dashboard, plus some of the already installed ones are there. No idea how they chose what to put on there and I fear it will become cluttered with time. But for now it is nice. Given time we’ll probably be able to change it.

Thanks, I saw that. The trouble is that this driver is over 9 years old and we have moved on from OpenVR to OpenXR. On top of that it is a Windows driver.

Holy shit, someone made a No One Lives Forever VR mod. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrHUTnWPAw8
And he’s working on a Steam Frame version. I really really have to get VR working in bed!

Guess I totally missed that.

Huh. My hope for the Frame was that the controllers are decent. I’ve been wanting good controllers where the hands are separate since the Wii introduced the concept to me. I’ve never gamed more comfortably.
I should know by tomorrow, if the shipping estimate was accurate.

- Comment on Somewhat useless infos about the Steam Frame that I didn't see anyone cover 1 week ago:
I ordered last Sunday and on Thursday or Friday I got the mail that it would arrive next Monday.
I saw a Youtuber use it in complete darkness. It has an infrared light so the passthrough camera actually worked like nightvision goggles.
- Comment on Somewhat useless infos about the Steam Frame that I didn't see anyone cover 1 week ago:
I’m not OP and don’t have my Frame yet. But since you have a full Linux desktop in it at your disposal you can use whatever remote desktop software you like to access your PC.

Looks like they’re fixing Steam Machine VR streaming as quickly as possible.
I also love that they’re getting really current with their kernel and KDE versions.

My guess concerning the streaming from Linux is that they haven’t got Wayland capture to work perfectly yet. I remember seeing several issues about that. You also currently cannot stream the game mode screen.
You could try X11.
Hope it doesn’t take too long to fix it. I will get mine on Monday.

Got mine on Sunday and ordered immediately. Now I’m waiting on any update for the delivery.

My wife ordered the Frame yesterday. 1 TB, EU. Great timing for my birthday.
- Comment on Thief: The Dark Project Remastered from Nightdive gets a new trailer 1 week ago:
Wanted to replay it the other day on my Steam Deck. Couldn’t be bothered to set up a good control scheme so I just decided to wait for the remaster. Hope it won’t be too expensive.
- Comment on [Frame] I have to purchase the accessory replacement kit before I actually need it? 2 weeks ago:
This should be the top comment. It’s basically the solution. They should just ammend their wording to say that you can buy the accessories after buying the Frame.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 2 weeks ago:
As of now it does not work with the Steam Machine, which is kind of embarrassing. Though I expect them to fix that ASAP. Hopefully at least a beta version is available when customers get it.
