How to fix Windows 11 SteamVR performance Issues! fix lag, stuttering, etc! 

Amazing resource, you literally fixed the ONE thing that was driving me crazy, I have a 3080 Ti and a 7900X and was just confused by the performance I was getting, you literally fixed it all!

Such an easy and simple fix, was getting constant graying out and stuttering like crazy on just the steam vr home, did this and one restart later I've had the best FPS i've had in a year

THANK YOU! I've been scouring forums and reddit for weeks trying to find a solution to this problem. Nothing has worked until I found you ya freaking legend! Now I can finally enjoy VR again!

You are a life saver bud... Putting steam vr into that beta fixed all my problems... THANK YOU

WOW! I have been trying for almost 9 months to figure out why my Link Cable had a huge stuttering issue with Windows 11. My Virtual Desktop app ran smooth with my games so I know it wasn't a PC performance problem. But when I would switch it to Link Cable, it was unplayable stuttering. I tried everything under the sun and watched countless videos but your tips did the trick! I can't thank you enough for this!

I did this and my games went from unplayable lag to better than ive ever seen, thank you so much!

Thank you so much. I have been going crazy trying to fix this. You dont know how much you helped me. Now I can play bone works perfectly fine. THANK YOU

Thank you! I have spent the past day trying to fix this, and this actually worked!

I had to mention in a video for my game that it was laggy. This fixed everything for me thank you so much bro keep up the good work.

You're a real saver, I was about to give up on idea of running games on big VR screen. They would stutter for no reason, dropping both FPS and the whole SteamVR performance to painful levels.

You helped me, thank you a lot, the lag on Home was exhausting, but this video fixed it. Keep it like that!

You can turn off SteamVR home and some more things off to. Steam home will always run in the background prioritizing over ur game so turn that off and you have a fun time playing my friend :)

Super helpful thank you! Fixed my issues!

This was the only tutorial to fix my airlink lag it was fast simple and easy to understand thank you

It actually helped I had issues with lagging in gsme thanks Jordan

Idk how you figured this out but thank you so much. I was gonna return my Oculus Quest 2 because of lag and stuttering but when I found this video it fixed everything, so thank you.

Thank you so much! I thought my router was the problem then I found this and tried it out. This fixed my issue with the new Steam Link App on the Quest 3 using Wi-Fi. Now with manual bit rate set to 150 and encode maxed out I can still get a stable 120 fps and near 20 ping latency without any of those annoying micro stutters.

Wow this was a massive help in boosting my performance. I'm still using my pc and vr wirelessly the way its not intended, so performance was awful but now it's actually playable. Not amazing, but playable. Thanks a ton!!!

Fixed my new PC's VR performance, thank you Sir!

so simple and so effective! You made my day, I'm gratefull

You're an absoulete life saver, I went from 20 - 40 fps to 60 - 70 fps, No joke.

It also solved my Windows 10 stuttering issuses! You are my hero, man!

wow this guy is not a yapper and make me do confusing things! this guy helped me alot you just got a new sub

Thank you so much for helping because I hate when my game keeps glitching. I got banned somehow I know I was in a modded lobby second, I joined never picked up but thank you so much. It always started in mine so that was really helpful.

WOOOOW, you fixed my problem. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much for this,bro❤ Fixed constant stutter for me

Thanks for the help, Bud! Fixed my issue !

the steam support wanted me to revert to windows 10 and make a clean install, glad i tried your stuff first, thanks a lot

Your an actual life saver. I was getting so much unplayable fps in rec room and now it's all fixed.

Thank you so much, this resolved all of my issues!

Thank you so much i have been dreaming for this

Thank you so much the games still lag a bit but it helped a lot!!

Built a new PC and did a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro. With my Valve Index I was getting frame drops once every 5-10 seconds. This seems to have fix it so far. HL Alyx is running pretty smooth now. Fingers crossed it doesn’t come back. Thanks!

Thanks, this was really helpful

Going to try this right now. Everytime I was in VRchat when I would move my head everything would glitch. Thanks for the vid

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS HELPED ME THANK YOU SO MUCH

holy shit you are the goat i thought i’d never get a good framerate in vrchat

this man just saved my life thank you so much bro really appreciate it

It worked! No need for win 10. Nice job.

YOOO, this helped so much i can't express how much you helped me, i had this problem for 2 years and no fixes worked. your truly a life saver.

this does work and has saved me from factory resetting my PC from me thinking I have a virus

Thanks even now in 2024 this still helps fix Win 11 issues. Great work.

everything runs SO SMOOTH now thanks so much bro!!!!

Thank you so much this worked amazing all my lag/stuttering went away

JordanVR. Once again, you have saved my life. Bread.

Thank you! This fixed the stutters on my Pico 4.

Bought a Quest 3 this week. Had 3 days of seemless gameplay. Out of the blue came stuttering visuals and crackling sounds. Tried many solutions and nothing worked. This did the trick!

THANK YOU SO F.....G MUCH MAN !! You solved a problem I had for many years ! I have a Rtx 3080ti TUF like BlackBellaVRC, a 5800X Ryzen 7 with 32 GB 3600hz ram. I had the exact same thourghts about all the lack, now it's pretty much gone

you the MVP man, I can finally play in steamvr now it was unusable. 🐐

Keep up the content Yessir

Just Tried This, It Worked, It’s Still A Little Bit Laggy, But It’s Playable Now Thank You So Much 😭 The Lag Was Killing Me

The legend we all needed!

Thanks for this. I have an RTX 4090 and even on lowest graphics settings my steam just lags it got so bad where I preferred playing base quest

bro seriously thanks to you my game (minecraft) goes 72 fps almost fluent, it was goin 72-32 fps idk how having a rtx 3060, but now excellent! thx!

The fix is working too, if SteamVR doesn't even find a VR headset. I was already afraid of downgrading to Windows 10. Thank you so much.

I just bought a index because I thought this issue was a quest problem. To my surprise it was still happening. Now I don't have to hate myself for the upgrade. Thank you!

THANK YOU!!!!! WORKED PERFECTLY!!!!!!

Sorry for the question but not familiar with it.. when you use pitool (Pimax software), it needs to start steam VR. Is it possible somehow to use pimax in FS2020 or xplane without it?

if i go in defualt graphics setting and turn it off will other games have low fps?

thanks, works as should now, long may continue!!!

helloo, so i've got a few questions i'm currently on my aspire 5 laptop and these are my system specifications (which im not sure if theyre fine for launching oculus link or steam vr) My processor - AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics My graphics card - AMD Ryzen 5000 Series My memory - 8GB RAM USB cable i'm currently using for connecting my vr up - usb-c to usb-c Is it possible to run oculus link or steam vr? edit - i have got it running before but its ridiculously laggy and sometimes doesnt launch

Thanks. It helps me in Assetto Corsa

i love you so much ty man i was dieing over here

THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO U SAVED ME ❤

Hey im trying to fix this rn and when I went to the graphic setting for me there is no default graphic settings. Do you know why this is?

broooooo!!! thank you soo much dude. much appreciated

I have stable fps but my hands are stuttering, will this vid fix that u recon?

It does mot show change default graphic's settings

omg thanks im'so happy it worked, before i tried your solution i was reading some comments and i got mad reading comments which didn't say if this worked out or not, it's so useless to write a comment and not say if this trick worked or not! so.... FOR ME IT WORKED, THANKS XD

I am using Quest 2, and still experiencing the shuttering issue with Half life. I tried OculusDebugTool -> Toggle console window visibility, and the shuttering issue is completely GONE! The trick is I have to turn on the Toggle console... , restart PC, open Half life right away (the Toggle console will remain open). Unfortunately, if I put down my goggle, switch to other program on my PC and put back my goggle, then the issue come back.

Ok the steamvr beta update fixed it for me. Sheeeesh. Thanks fam

Thanks I recently got windows 11 and I had lots of crashing in games and this really weird shaky bug where when I moved my hands or head it would shake weirdly, I will save this link and just send the video link to anyone who needs it

another thing to add on to if it still does not work, is to make sure your router is hardwired to your PC too

Never had stutters or lag in SteamVR with Windows 11 so far. But I get whole Headset Freezes from time to time. Maybe that's some Windows 11 + WMR + Steam VR combination issue cuz it's on the Reverb G2. I'll try those changes though. Thanks mate. :)

This has somewhat worked......want to play no mans sky on quest 2 with link cable. Prior to finding your video i couldnt even load it. Now atleast i can but.....once in game...its a laggy mess. 😢 thanks tho. Amaxing vid. Quick and too the point

i have a problem where in games (for example h3vr) it freezes the pov in one place and moment is delayed

thanks this help with hard bullet vr (it is very detailed)

Yeah that GPU Scheduling garbage MS put in Win 11 was what I had forgotten from my previous Win 11 install. Now smooth sailing so to speak.

hey qestions are hick ups like going black and turns back on supper fast?

The real king

Thanks i have a rtx 4060 and i was wondering why my games were lagging so much especially boneworks

When I went to graphics, change default graphics settings wasn’t on there!!

My major problem with windows 11 solved, thanks.

your a life saver bro

Thank you so much!!

thanks for the help dude

Thank you, your a hero bro my computer was chugging on a simple game and i have a 500 hundred dollar setup.

TYSM IT GELPED SO MUCH

Thanks for the quick and easy guide.

This really helped me when playing boneworks on my quest 2 and with my trash computer

thx bro this me a lot cause of steamvr lagging on my RTX 3070 but thx :)

Thanks man i don't understand how the lag is a problem on a good quality computer i thought my oculus 2 was just getting too old

yeah! its woorkk perfect guys thank you men for your help

Should I turn off variable refresh rate too, I have that in my graphics settings too

THANK YOU SO MUCH🎉🎉🎉

It didn’t really work for me. I play rec room on steam vr and it’s just always laggy. Like I can go five seconds without lagging my headset off. I did all the steps and had hopes for the lag to be gone and it didn’t go away. Is there any possible way to fix this. I’ve been struggling with this issue for a year. If there is any possible way of fixing this issue please please let me know. 🙏 🙏

Bro i thought my 4090 was bugging, i was like why is everything laggy! Will give this a try!

Man installed windows 11 2 times tried pavlov vr had a reduction of 90 fps to 55 to 60fps after update. went back to w10 issue gone. never knew how to remedy it. Everyone is saying it helped so will try it out. Thanks for putting the info out there
