Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When changing display refresh rate, steamvr settings present a 'Restart SteamVR' button and ask you to restart steamvr for the settings to take effect. This does not work. Instead, I get this on STDOUT:

`
+++ dirname /home/jye/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/../vrmonitor.sh
++ cd /home/jye/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/../
++ pwd

  • VRBINDIR=/home/jye/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin
  • [[ -n /home/jye/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrenv.sh ]]
  • case $(uname) in
    ++ uname
  • VRMONITOR=/home/jye/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/vrmonitor
  • exec /home/jye/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/vrmonitor vrmonitor://restartsystem
    /home/jye/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/vrmonitor: error while loading shared libraries: libsteam_api.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    `
    I expect steam to restart

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Launch Steam
  2. Launch SteamVR
  3. Open settings
  4. Click 'Video'
  5. Change refresh rate to some thing different
    6 Click 'Restart SteamVR' button.

Can confirm. Calling ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/vrmonitor vrmonitor://restartsystem also gives the same error.
Calling ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrmonitor.sh vrmonitor://restartsystem however does work perfectly.

Most interesting is that I had SteamVR start in safe mode and when turning it off it prompted that it needs to restart for that. That restart button actually worked just fine.

Fixed with 1.10.8 :+1:

I just tried it in 1.10.21 and it didn't do anything. Actually, I don't think I've ever seen SteamVR actually restart properly, but the button from the settings menu doesn't even respond to anything.

Hello @edwin-v, if you're seeing an issue similar to this one, it'll need a separate investigation. Please retest with the current SteamVR beta and open a new issue report if needed.

Closing as fixed in SteamVR 1.10.8.
