Patches for SteamVR on Linux
Use at your own risk!
See the project page on my website for more information.
Installing the Steam patchers
- Put the
patch-<thing>script somewhere, e.g.~/.local/libexec/patch-<thing> - Mark it executable
- 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. - 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
- Put the contents of the
frame-steamosdirectory onto your headset. - Run
sudo ./installwhile inside that directory. - Reboot the headset.
- Check the journal:
journalctl -eu patch-frame.serviceyou 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.
