Quoting: MaathNot to be a Debbie Downer, but I caution that this could become an Epic exclusive. I don't know if using the Unreal engine increases that potential or not.
In the Steam Forums they answered this with "It's announced for Steam and coming to Steam Early Access :)"

Another SteamVR release is up, further improving the VR experience on Linux

Quoting: EhvisThe Lab - Proton. Works perfectly, but it tends to crash the first time you start a new minigame. As if the game takes issue with the long shader compile time. Always loaded after a restart.
Do you use the Index? I have no Controllers in the game and can't press Start on the very first Terminal.

Quoting: CorbenTo the Linux Index users: does the microphone of the index work for you? I mean does it produce any amplitude on the input? It's detected for me, but it doesn't record any voice. That's why I now went for an AntLion Modmic wireless...
don't work at all. but there are still not many games that run for me. beatsaber and the ones from croteam. do you have more luck?

Yeah. You are right. Unfortunately there are a lot of games that still need this. Sadly the fix from valve also don't eliminate the need to click.
Some games like onward eliminated the need of clicking the tumbstick for running and just register the push of the stick to the very end of its range as running.

Quoting: EhvisSomehow I feel the whole thumb stick click is blown out of proportion.
i myself have no click-feeling at all at any edges. it is quiet uncomfortable with games that need it to run, and these are quiet a number.
i bought the controllers for 300€ so i expect them to work for this price.

Good news for VR fans in the US, the full Valve Index bundle is back in stock

Sorry to say so, but to have Fun with the Index you have still to dual boot. Even Beatsaber doesn't work as smooth as on windoof. Only games that work as good as on Windows are the very few native ones. Maybe (hopefully) with the next proton Version this will change.

Looks like Valve are developing another new game, something to do with "Citadel"

Left 4 Dead was based on what a modder did (correct me if i am wrong).

SteamVR has another beta up, with plenty of Linux fixes and other improvements

Quoting: beniwtvI think you misunderstood me there :)

My point wasn't that there are no good VR games, far from it. Just that there aren't very many of them (still, there are more than I have time to play currently).

Beat Saber is an AMAZING game to me, it hooked me instantly. And it's beautiful for VR.

Right now my list of favourites are (with some upcoming ones):
- Arizona Sunshine
- Beat Saber
- Boneworks (will hopefully be good when it comes out, so I'll include it here)
- Budget Cuts (this SEEMS good, doesn't currently run for me tho)
- Elite: Dangerous
- Everspace
- No Man's Sky (will also hopefully be good when VR update comes out)
- Serious Sam VR games
- Star Citizen (if they ever finish adding Vulkan and VR)
- Star Trek: Bridge Crew
- Talos Principle
- The Gallery series
- The Solus Project

I'd love to know what everyone's favourite VR games are, maybe we can discover some hidden gems people are playing :)
Ok, i misunderstood you.

games that i also like a lot are:
- Moss
- Zero Caliber
- Tales of Glory (the new beta with campaign looks very promising!)
- Superhot VR (works also great on linux)
- Gorn (i destroyed a very expensive mirror while playing. but netherless i love this game)

Quoting: beniwtvTo be honest I am more concerned about the lack of good VR games for ANY platform on Steam. There are only a handful, most of the VR titles on Steam aren't really games or good. Not sure how the situation is on 'Viveport' or platforms like that, couldn't get that to work in Proton or Wine yet.

Good Proton/Wine and native VR games already mostly work for me, so I have plenty to play. Probably more than I will have time to.
i don't think so. there are a lot of good games, that are well made for vr and are a lot of fun. that you can't do games the same way like 2d should be known.
i put more than 200h in Beatsaber, would never tell anyone this isn't a good game.
i played onward a very lot, because the mechanics are good and it is a lot of fun.

i don't know what you hope to play, but games like CoD xx wouldn't work in vr. and it would be to much for nowadays gpus.
