The 2.5 update includes a number of bug fixes and quality of life improvements across SteamVR, however if you’re a Quest user, you ought to notice some better stability when it comes to using Steam Link.

In the update log, Valve says improvements to Steam Link include:

  • Improved prediction for increased lateral tracking stability.
  • Fix initialization issue causing connection failure. Requires client and server to both be updated.
  • Fix issue causing persistent failure when headset goes into standby and returns.
  • Fix deadlock on host when USB devices are inserted or removed.
  • Resolved two client crashes.
  • Fix an issue with video encoder initialization on certain AMD integrated GPUs.
