steam crashes when launching steamvr with htc vive
When I try to launch steamvr on my computer with my htc vive plugged in, steam crashes and enters a sort of "bootloop" where it keeps crashing and reopening. This doesn't happen when the headset isn't connected.
Steamvr loads fine but I can't launch any games and there's some hitching when steam restarts. my computer is a laptop with a ryzen 9 5900hx, an nvidia rtx 3070, and 16 gigs of ram.
I tried running it on my other computer (framework laptop 13, core ultra 125h, 32 gigs of ram) and steamvr launched fine and steam didn't crash. I could launch games but the headset would be stuck in the loading screen, not displaying the game even though it was running ok on the laptop's screen. Games not displaying on the headset might just be the poor igpu struggling to run steamvr?
On the more powerful laptop, I think my graphics drivers are installed correctly? It runs other, semi demanding games excellently so I don't think it's a graphics driver problem.

Re: steam crashes when launching steamvr with htc vive
Try to disable HIDPI.
A problem to do what everybody else does without questioning. A danger to go against the way things are just because. Too much or too little, ivory towers of perfection or functional mess... Balance is what this world needs. Selective, not the middle ground. Objectivity and idealism, but within a pragmatic scope. - Minimalism is achieved through efficiency, not deficiency.

Re: steam crashes when launching steamvr with htc vive
Thank you for responding. I'm a bit confused about what you mean. I don't see anything about hidpi in steamvr settings or steam settings or in the kde plasma settings. I'm not able to find anything about it anywhere else.
