Steam Controller not showing up on VH client under USB servers

[trashboatau]

Hi,

I've done the setup up to this point:

Steam Controller should show (it can take a bit before it shows)

But nothing is showing up, even after waiting a few minutes and re-launching both the client and server. Steam deck and PC are both connected to the same network, PC via ethernet but I enabled wifi to see if that would do it, and no luck.

What else can I try?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for flagging this.

This is actually a known issue I'm experiencing the same issue myself and haven't found the solution. Some ideas were discussed in #15 (toward the end), so you could try that. And if it works I'd appreciate if you can report back.

At the moment I can't use it either 🤷‍♂️

I actually got it working! I'm sure there was some user error on my part, so I just went through all the steps again (deleted the folder, got the repo again and ran the script with the no keys command, deleted and re-downloaded the vh files lol) then manually added my steam deck's IP address, and it immediately showed up!

There's no perceivable latency and having the steam deck's back buttons and gyro for a controller on my PC is amazing, thanks for all your work in making it more accessible for plebs such as myself 🥳

[HelloThisIsFlo]

Well, if you managed to make it work when I can't have it running myself ... I'm not sure calling yourself a plebs does you justice 😂

Now I'm curious, when you say "manually added my steam deck IP", do you mean on the VH client on Windows?
I just moved flat, so won't be able to test anyway. But once my gaming PC is back up and running I'd love to give it a try.

Ohhh I missed that it wasn't working for you, I didn't mean to gloat 😅

Yes I added my steam deck's IP address to the windows VH client. Best of luck and thanks again!

[HelloThisIsFlo]

Thanks for letting me know!

I'm super glad you're able to use it! And I appreciate the positive attitude 😊

Will close this ticket.
If someone else is experiencing the same issue: Try setting the Steam Deck IP on the Windows VH Client

remember to add the port 7575 to the IP -- EG: 192.168.1.202:7575

I think it added it automatically / I couldn't delete it anyway, but yes it does need to be there.

And to save anyone one other google search you can find your steam deck's IP address in the view more of your

It didn't work till I put in my IP address along with the port according to @killdano (thank you)
