I purchased Quest 2 on Black Friday and faced significant problems connecting it with SteamVR while using the Airlink feature. Previously owned a Rift S, but wanted an upgrade to wireless VR. When running Quest 2 in wired mode, SteamVR works smoothly. The only issue arises when activating the Airlink feature, causing SteamVR to freeze. I launch SteamVR and remain stuck in the loading world indefinitely. I've tried launching games directly from Steam, adding it to my Oculus library, and even attempting to start SteamVR manually, but nothing happens. I searched online for solutions but found only repeated steps without success. This appears to be a helpful community to discuss—any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've noticed steam VR and Oculus links sometimes act up. Here are a few things to check: 1) Verify the openXR version being set; if needed, switch between Steam and Oculus. 2) If supported, include -vrmode oculus in the game's launch flags.
