I'm having a hard time getting the game to work on a Quest 3. This and Intimate. For whatever reason, both games just crash while starting. Also, both games run fine in the 2D/non-vr mode. I've randomly managed to run this once, but only at the lowest (20%) resolution set in SteamVR, so I was thinking it could by my 1660ti not being strong enough. Also *sometimes*, every few launches I get "The memory could not be written" error. Idk if it has to do with storage or RAM, so I tried launching from different drives (without success).
Other games that seem more demanding (project wingman for example) run completely fine on full resolution though, so I have no idea what the problem is. Issue is the same whether I play with a link cable or through SteamLink or through Oculus Link :t
Any ideas?
First off, try clearing out your temporary and unneeded files. On Windows, open the start menu and search for Disk Cleanup. Open that and select the drive or drives that you wish to clean. Verify your selections and click ok.
From there, double check that you have your graphics driver updated. For NVidia cards, you can go to their site to find the one you need:

Now restart your computer to make sure everything is stable as cleaning up and installing drivers can require a restart to make sure stray files are properly removed and new files are properly running.
Then after the computer is restarted and fully up and running, open Steam. Make sure SteamVR is updated but you don't need to open it now.
Now, depending on how you try running a game in VR this part might vary a bit. I personally use the Oculus desktop app for launching VR games. You can download it from their site here:

If using the desktop app method linked above, open it up and make sure there's no updates for it. Make sure your headset is linked up to it as well and is active. Go into the library tab and click the + icon in the top right. Navigate to wherever you have the game installed and choose the Heat.exe file to add. After confirming that you should now see the game listed in your library.
From here, put on your Quest and get to the home screen. I usually use the airlink method but the cable should work fine too. From the home screen menu bar, click on the Quick Setting button (it's the one with your time, battery, and connection indicator in it on the left near your icon) and choose Quest Link from that new menu. Select your computer which should be visible if you set up everything right and connect to it.
A new area and menu will load up after a moment. You then click upon the library tab at the bottom (should be a book icon) and you should see any games that were in the library tab of the Oculus app on your computer. Just click on the game you want to run and SteamVR should automatically launch alongside the game and allow it to run in your headset.
If, at this point, something now doesn't work then you should look into SteamVR and try resetting all settings in it to make sure it isn't causing problems for you. If that doesn't work then look into any antivirus or firewall systems you have to make sure they aren't blocking traffic from your computer to your headset. If they are either enable those ports or add exceptions to the apps you need (Oculus desktop app, Heat or other games, and SteamVR/Steam) and try again. If you are still having problems then you might have something else incompatible that is causing issues. In that case you might just have to troubleshoot potential problems on your own as I wouldn't be sure of what else might cause it to happen.
