Solved - SteamVR Error 422

Good afternoon all!

I wanted to share my solution to this issue I've been having (Shoutout to BSB Support for sticking with me and eventually getting it sorted).

I've been having an odd SteamVR error, specifically 422. This error has very little online, the logs don't give any details as to the issue and the problem exists across multiple computers, headsets and steam (and VR) re-installs.

Most users with this error never resolved it, either leaving VR or buying another headset, since there isn't a solution posted i wanted to make a post to hopefully help some others in the future.

The issue ended up being the default resolution of the headset in Windows being set incorrectly (likely a lower, incompatible resolution for the displays)

*The solution for me ended up being to change the resolution in Windows to the max, then re-enabling direct display mode when prompted.*
