Patches for SteamVR on Linux

Use at your own risk!

See the project page on my website for more information.

Installing the Steam patchers

  1. Put the patch-<thing> script somewhere, e.g. ~/.local/libexec/patch-<thing>
  2. Mark it executable
  3. Change the launch options of the specified game/tool to: /absolute/path/to/patch-<thing> %command%.
    If you already have something in there, I'm sure you can figure it out.
  4. Launch the game/tool normally. You should see a desktop notification with some diagnostics which specify if the script actually did/tried to do something.

Installing the Frame SteamOS patcher

  1. Put the contents of the frame-steamos directory onto your headset.
  2. Run sudo ./install while inside that directory.
  3. Reboot the headset.
  4. Check the journal: journalctl -eu patch-frame.service you should expect to see something like:
systemd[1]: Starting Apply Steam Frame patches...
patch-frame[1080]: Patched /opt/steamvr/tools/vrlink/bin/linuxarm64/vrlink
systemd[1]: Finished Apply Steam Frame patches.
