PCVR games gets too dark on headset, seems fine on computer monitor

I've been playing games like Gorn and HL:Alyx on wireless PC, via Steam Link App or ALVR. On both methods, the game displayed on the headset looks way darker compared to what it looks when i screenshare on discord or record the gameplay on PC. This is kinda sad cause sometimes i can barely see what is happening in the game. Already tried to increase the brightness, but that didn't seem to help. Is there any setting on any of these softwares i could tweak to improve it?

Hey Meta Support! As my computer runs Linux, steamVR through alvr is the only option to streaming games. I've found a solution to this issue anyways: Force HDR sRGB correction option on the ALVR streamer. This seems to be a steamVR common issue and not quest's fault! Thanks for the support 😊

Hey there, @Murilovsky! We know how important it is to be able to see the game you're playing, and we would love to team up with you in figuring this out. With you running these games through Steam, it's going to create a lot of variances that we can't troubleshoot. We suggest removing any third-party software and they retrying to play the games. Once you've done that, let us know if you are still having the brightness issue. Outside of that, you could also try developer mode which will give you a bit more control over the settings.
