Hot on the heels of the Steam Frame announcement, SteamVR Beta 2.14.1 brings more fixes

Valve only just released the latest stable SteamVR update in version 2.13, but SteamVR 2.14.1 Beta is now here as well with more tweaks and fixes.

I expect with the announcement of the new Steam Frame (and Steam Machine / Steam Controller), we're going to see a bunch more rapid updates to get SteamVR truly ready for it. Although, the Steam Deck did come in pretty hot, so it will be interesting to see if the Steam Frame launches with many issues. We have till early 2026 to find out…

Anyway, here's what's new in SteamVR 2.14.1 Beta:

SteamVR:

• Improve startup speed when no HMD is present.
• Fix an issue that could cause "Port 27062 in use" (can also manifest as error 309) when no HMD is present.
• Fix an issue that could result in error 302 or error 101, especially in unusual startup configurations.
• Changed Binding UI to allow saving bindings that don't bind all required actions (with confirmation).
• Fixed an issue where HMD simulation would persist after an app using controller simulation ended.
• Fixed some scenarios where the wrong render model would be displayed when multiple devices were simulating.
• Fix a crash that could occur if the roomview processing was delayed.
• Updated dashboard binding for HP Motion Controller to fix screenshots, smooth scrolling, and take advantage of Quick Recenter.
• The prompt to setup SteamVR for app containers and web applications now covers cases where SteamVR is installed outside of its normal location.

Steam Link:

• Fix Steam Link freeze for users with AMD video cards ("Error 250").
• Minor judder improvements.

Linux:

• Fix a shared memory leak that happened each time an app disconnected from SteamVR.

Since the Steam Frame will use Linux (SteamOS), I'm really hoping we see Valve eventually get SteamVR into good shape for Linux as a whole. Would be a bit weird if it wasn't improved, considering the Steam Machine runs Linux (SteamOS) too. However, since the Steam Frame is either standalone or you stream to it, this will work in a very different way to say the Valve Index which according to The Verge is no longer in production.
