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
