SteamVR update 2.19.2 is now available, bringing several fixes for Steam Link streaming, including crashes and visual artifacts when the streaming resolution changes. The patch also addresses regressions affecting overlays and game menus introduced in version 2.19.1. Additionally, users can once again lower the encoding resolution to 512, while improvements to stream stability should help reduce interruptions caused by brief network issues.
The update also resolves a Linux launch problem involving the SteamRT3 client and the Legacy Steam Runtime. Another fix addresses incorrect controller battery information in the Quick Access Menu, where some third-party drivers, including PSVR2, could cause the right controller to appear twice.
