Thu Feb 03 2022 22:37:55.636884 - [Status Alert] SteamVR Fail (-203)

Can confirm I also have this issue on Ubuntu 18.10, tried with and without SteamVR beta, and tried with NVidia drivers both 418.43 and 410 on my GTX 1080.

I don’t have a standard Vive to test with, only my Vive Pro, though I have not found anybody else who has the issue but not a Vive Pro.

I also came across this Reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/ajuycz/new_vive_pro_linux_headset_display_freezes/

Can’t seem to find any errors in logs, screen on headset will simply freeze after some time giving huge amounts of motion sickness, and some time after that SteamVR will crash with error code -203. The real time frame information will also freeze at the same time as the headset viewport.

Not sure if this is related, but I also have issues dragging the SteamVR information windows, on my tiling window manager XMonad this affects both the settings window and the status window, whereas on the stock XFCE window manager this only affects the settings window. When dragged the viewport in the headset will jitter a lot with huge delays between frames, and the windows will take about 10 seconds to catch up with where you dragged them, feels like I’m running windows. Figured this might be related since I have not seen this issue mentioned anywhere else.

The error code 203 usually results in a crash of the game that you are trying to play on SteamVR. As it turns out, the problem can occur due to a number of reasons, and some of these can only be specific to you as well. Among the common causes are hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling, outdated Windows, your SteamVR settings, and more. We will be going through these in detail down below.

SteamVR Error Code 203

As it turns out, the error message associated with the error code 203 or (-203) does not provide any helpful information as it only states that the application experienced an unexpected problem. In some cases, restarting SteamVR can fix the issue, as mentioned in the error message. However, that is not always fruitful. 

There are also scenarios where the error message occurs only with certain games. Regardless, the source of the problem usually stays the same, and in this article, we are going to show you how to resolve it without much trouble. However, before we get into that, it is essential to have a better understanding of the issue by knowing the various causes. So, without further ado, let us get right into the causes of the SteamVR error 203.

  • Third-Party Software — One of the reasons that the problem in question can occur is when you have a third-party software meddling with SteamVR in the background. A common culprit, as reported by multiple users, is the Razer Cortex app. 
  • Outdated Windows — If you are running an outdated version of Windows on your computer, that can also result in the error message in question. This can be easily rectified by simply updating your system. 
  • SteamVR Settings — As it turns out, in some cases, the problem can arise when your SteamVR settings file is damaged or corrupted. When this happens, the app is forced to crash when the file is loaded. To fix this, you will have to delete the settings file from your config folder.
  • Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling — Finally, hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling has also been known to result in the error message. Disabling this from the Windows Settings menu has fixed the issue for various users.

Now that we have gone through the possible causes of the issue in question let us start with the different methods you can use to resolve the issue. 

1. Disable Razer Cortex Auto Boost (if applicable)

The first thing that you should do if you have Razer Cortex installed on your system is to disable the Auto Boost feature. The Auto Boost feature can be useful as it manages your operating system and other background applications to increase your FPS in-game. 

This feature has been reported by various users, and disabling it has fixed the problem for them. To do this, follow the instructions given down below:

  1. First of all, go ahead and open up Razer Cortex.
  2. In Razer Cortex, navigate to Game Booster from the menu bar.
  3. There, under the Boost tab, turn off Auto-Boost by clicking the slider provided.
    Disabling Razer Cortex Auto Boost
  4. With that done, close Razer Cortex and see if the issue persists. 

2. Update Windows

Running an outdated version of Windows is never really a good idea. This is because the system updates often contain security fixes along with quality-of-life improvements that help your computer perform better. In addition to that, running an obsolete version of the Windows operating system may cause several applications not to function as intended. 

This might be the case here as well, which is why you will have to update your Windows to resolve the issue. To do this, follow the instructions given down below:

  1. Start off by pressing the Windows key + I on your keyboard to open up the Settings window.
  2. In the Settings window, navigate to Windows Update on the left-hand side.
    Windows Settings
  3. Click on the Check for updates button provided to download and install any updates.
    Windows Update
  4. If there are any updates available for your system, you will see a Download & install button there already. Click on it to download the update.
  5. Once your computer has been updated and you have performed a system restart, relaunch SteamVR to see if the issue is still there.

3. Delete SteamVR Settings File

As we have stated previously, your SteamVR settings can sometimes result in the mentioned error message. This happens when the local settings file has been damaged or corrupted, which is why, when it is loaded into the application, SteamVR crashes.

As such, to fix this, you will have to delete the settings file so that a new file can be generated when you launch SteamVR. To do this, follow the instructions down below:

  1. First of all, open up File Explorer.
    Opening up File Explorer
  2. Then, navigate to where Steam is installed. By default, you will find it in the C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam path. 
  3. Inside the Steam directory, open up the config folder.
    Opening up Steam Config Folder
  4. Once there, locate a file called steamvr.vrsettings or similar and then delete it.
  5. With that done, open up SteamVR to see if the issue has been resolved. 

4. Disable Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling

For those unaware, hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling is a feature that offloads your CPU from some work by processing and rendering the visuals and graphics in batches. Typically, your processor would be responsible for offloading such work to the GPU for rendering. However, with hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling, your GPU processor saves your CPU the trouble of offloading such work to it and hence can potentially improve the performance of your CPU. 

While this can be helpful, there have been several reports of it causing SteamVR to crash with the 203 error code, so you will have to disable hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling. To do this, follow the instructions given down below:

  1. To start off, open the Settings window by pressing Windows key + I.
  2. In the Settings menu, navigate to System > Display.
    Windows Settings
  3. There, make your way to Graphics.
    Navigating to Graphics Settings
  4. Under Graphics settings, click on the Change default graphics settings option.
    Navigating to Default Graphics Settings
  5. From there, click on the slider provided to turn off hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling.
    Disabling Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling
  6. With that done, go ahead and restart your computer. Once your PC boots up, see if the error message still occurs.

5. Try SteamVR Beta

As it turns out, many users have reported that opting into the SteamVR beta has helped them circumvent the error message in question. If the problem persists even after trying all of the methods, we would recommend giving this a shot. However, remember that this is called Beta for a reason, there might be some bugs that you may experience, but you will also have the luxury of trying out new features first. To opt into the SteamVR beta, follow the instructions down below:

  1. Open up the Steam client on your computer.
  2. In the Steam client, navigate to the Library section. 
  3. After that, search for SteamVR. Right-click on it and choose Properties.
    Opening up SteamVR Properties
  4. On the new window that comes up, switch to the Betas tab on the left-hand side.
  5. From the drop-down menu provided, choose the beta – SteamVR Beta Update option.
    Opting into SteamVR Beta
  6. Then, close the dialog box.
  7. At this point, the SteamVR beta will start downloading automatically. 
  8. Once done, see if the error is still occurring. 

6. Reinstall Steam

Finally, if none of the above methods have fixed the problem for you, then as a last resort, we would recommend reinstalling your Steam client. The error message may be triggered due to a problem with the Steam installation files, and as such, reinstalling it should fix the problem. To uninstall Steam, follow the instructions given down below:

  1. Start off by opening up the Control Panel. To do this, open the Start Menu and search for Control Panel.
    Opening up Control Panel
  2. With the Control Panel open, click on the Uninstall a program option.
    Control Panel
  3. This will show a list of all installed applications on your system. From the list, locate Steam and then double-click on it.
    Uninstalling Steam
  4. Once Steam has been uninstalled, head to the Steam website and download the installer again.
  5. Run the installer to install Steam. 
  6. With that done, see if the error message still appears.

Error 203 SteamVR Fail


Question/Support

I have searched and searched on Reddit and elsewhere for an answer to why the hell my index keeps crashing in every game. I’ve been speaking with support for over a week and it’s driving me bonkers. I have tried absolutely everything I can think of and am wondering if ANYONE has encountered this and has a fix.

Essentially, the index seems to just disconnect from the game. The game is running perfectly fine when the error occurs, but SteamVR just fails with the 203 code and has to restart. Nothing warns me and the performance graph has warning signs of it crashing about only half of the time. My hardware can run it, I don’t have conflicting software, there’s no kinks in the wires, and everything is hooked up properly.

I’ve tried: updating drivers, rolling back drivers, nuking SteamVR filed and doing full reinstall, verifying the files, checking cpu and GPU usage as well as temps trying different usb ports, running every exe in SteamVR as administrator, clearing download cache, and even fucking with the wires during a game to see if it induces a crash.

It seems to be SteamVR and not a hardware issue. Would like some opinions.

EDIT: Worth noting that Valve has no fucking clue what it is after sending them my specs, software versions, and graphs

  • RTX 2060 — Driver 460.89

  • Ryzen 5 3600

  • 16GB RAM

  • Gigabyte B450 DS3H Motherboard — BIOS F50

The experience of Virtual Reality still stands as one of the most futuristic aspects of the modern technological world we live in, and without doubt, one of the best services out there to enable that is the SteamVR tool. SteamVR is an epitome of excellency, when it comes to the VR experience, as it supports a wide range of hardware devices, such as HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Valve Index, Windows Mixed Reality, and many others. However, a current issue regarding SteamVR has surfaced in the gaming community, namely, Error Code -203. This error has caused some havoc, being reported as crashing games mid-gameplay. Here is how to fix SteamVR Fail Error Code -203.

After thorough research into the matter, it was found that the Error Code -203 possibly arose due to some three to four issues in the backend. The first root cause to consider with this type of error is an interruption. Some kind of interruption by third-party software might be interfering with SteamVR. On the other hand, it could be that the SteamVR is at fault itself. It might be that the settings of SteamVR are corrupted and malfunctioning, which might be the reason behind your games crashing suddenly.

However, the problem could also be due to your PC, and it could be that your Windows is outdated. SteamVR and Windows versions might not be compatible, which might be crashing it out of the blue. Nevertheless, solutions to problems always exist, and yours is no exception. So, follow along and read the solutions we have gathered for you. You’ll be running SteamVR in no time.

Fix 1: Disabling Optimization Tools

Optimization tools are usually used by the majority of the gaming community to perform dry and repetitive tasks such as taking care of temporary files, organizing registries, emptying recycle bins, and so on.

If you are using such a tool, such as Razer Cortex, then it might be that interference is caused by it, since Razer Cortex has an auto boost feature, that allows it to control background operations and applications to run your game with a smooth FPS output. Follow the steps below to fix SteamVR Fail Error Code -203.

  • Open your Razer Cortex (or any other optimization tool).
  • In the main tab, search for a ‘Game Booster’ term.
  • Then, locate an ‘Auto-Boost’ option from the list of options and disable it.
  • Close your optimization tool.
  • Restart SteamVR and see if the problem still prevails or not.

Fix 2: SteamVR’s Settings File Might Be the Problem

A corrupted or malfunctioned setting is sometimes the root cause of errors like the one you are facing. SteamVR has its own settings files, which may have been replaced or destroyed, so it is advisory to Reinstall them. Follow the steps below to perform this fix:

  • Open File Explorer.
  • In the File Path,the search bar, write: ‘C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam’ and hit enter. This will take you to where Steam is installed.
  • Open the Steam folder and locate a ‘config’ file.
  • After that, look for a file named ‘steamvr.vrsettings’ and Right Click on it.
  • Delete the file, and restart the SteamVR Software.

See if the problem is resolved or not. However, if it still doesn’t work, then don’t worry; we’ve got one more trick up our sleeves for you to try.

Fix 3: Try Out the SteamVR Beta Version

The problem with SteamVR is usually solved using the methods mentioned above, but since the Error Code -203 is not going away, it could be that the SteamVR you installed has an inherent problem. First, try to reinstall SteamVR and see if the problem vanishes. If it doesn’t, then try downloading the SteamVR Beta version.

It was reported by many that SteamVR Beta has been running error-free ever since they downloaded it. However, keep in mind that beta versions of any software are prone to errors. A beta version is a secondary version that the developers release to test out its performance and see what possible bugs show up. So, look out for that while you’re at it. Follow the steps below to complete this procedure:

  • Open the Steam Client.
  • Locate the Library category from the tab at the top.
  • Look for SteamVR and right-click on it.
  • From a list of options, click on Properties.
  • A window will appear. Look for a BETAS section in the left panel and open it.
  • A drop-down menu will appear. Locate the ‘beta – SteamVR Beta Update’ and select it.
  • Close the window.
  • You will start to see SteamVR Beta downloading, so wait for it to finish.
  • Once all of the procedures are done, see if your problem is gone or not.
    • If one of the fixes has worked for you, then congratulations! However, if you’re still facing the problem, then it is recommended to update your Windows or look for help at Steam Customer Support. If you are facing errors and issues with other PC games or your PC, then also see our hub for commonly occurring PC errors and their fixes.
