Valve has released the SteamVR 2.19.1 Beta update, which introduces significant improvements to image quality for Steam Link streaming. The update enhances visual clarity, color accuracy, and detail across various scenarios, including VR gaming, system interfaces, desktop streaming, and third-party overlays.
The new version adjusts the default recommended rendering resolution for PC VR streaming to 1.4 times the headset display panel resolution. Additionally, Valve has upgraded the color processing pipeline by implementing a higher-quality downsampling filter before encoding, which helps preserve subtle color information.
To access these improvements, users must opt into the SteamVR Beta program. This can be done through the Steam library by right-clicking on SteamVR, navigating to Properties, selecting the Betas tab, and choosing the Beta - SteamVR Beta Update option.
