Summary
SteamVR Beta 2.17.1 adds a headset-initialization fix for third-party devices used with many body trackers and improves Linux support for VR games that invert nearZ/farZ.
The beta also refines the interface, including grab handles, floating-frame resizing, room-setup bounds, laser mouse visuals and theater-mode placement.
Developers get new options to disable VR streaming auto-connect on resume and to turn off chaperone bounds.
The release follows a recent stable SteamVR update with broad fixes and Linux improvements, underscoring Valve's push toward the Steam Frame launch planned for this summer with SteamOS Linux.
