Short description of error
After an Update of SteamVR beta from Version 1.13.2 to Version 1.13.4 the VR Scene Inspection stopped working, only giving the following error message:
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Notes
In the Update news of SteamVR Beta 1.13.3 the xrCreateSwapchain function is mentioned regarding depth texture format support so this might be related:
https://steamcommunity.com/games/250820/announcements/detail/2396425843546116331
"Added support for some depth texture formats. VK_FORMAT_D32_SFLOAT, VK_FORMAT_D16_UNORM, VK_FORMAT_D24_UNORM_S8_UINT, and VK_FORMAT_D32_SFLOAT_S8_UINT are now supported on Vulkan. DXGI_FORMAT_D32_FLOAT, DXGI_FORMAT_D16_UNORM, DXGI_FORMAT_D24_UNORM_S8_UINT, and DXGI_FORMAT_D32_FLOAT_S8X24_UINT are now supported on D3D11. xrCreateSwapchain now works with any of these types."
The Update news of SteamVR Beta 1.13.4 mentions "Added support for OpenGL on Linux" for OpenXR:
https://steamcommunity.com/games/250820/announcements/detail/2471861771406562402
So I also tried running the VR Scene Inspection with SteamVR on Linux resulting in the same error.
Just in case it might be of any use my System Information and Blender Version I used in Linux was:
Operating system: Linux-5.3.0-59-generic-x86_64-with-debian-buster-sid 64 Bits

Some Update news for SteamVR 1.13.5 got my hopes up today since it mentions "Fixed depth texture format support":
https://steamcommunity.com/games/250820/announcements/detail/2471861771410550393
This does not fix this problem, though.
I tested again on Windows and Linux, using the newest Blender build as well as older ones that have been working in the past, including 2.83.0.
In all cases I still get: "Error: No format matching OpenXR runtime supported swapchain formats found."

Changed status from 'Needs Triage' to: 'Confirmed'
@JulianEisel : I havent checked this myself, but from your actions, I assume this can be confirmed?
I didn't get to test it myself yet (didn't have access to the Studio's Vive over the weekend), but I assume this report is valid. The same issue is also reported to Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/8/2448217320134601817/#c2523653167122752247
My guess is that SteamVR now tries to use OpenGL over our DirectX compatibility, which fails because of the issue described in the link.

I'm running into the same issue.
Here's my info if it helps:

same issue here, although it's a progress as on GNU-Linux as OpenXR view was indeed not working at all before, now it detect a driver and display that same error \o/

Just FYI: The error is still the same with latest SteamVR Version 1.13.6 (1592954026) Built Jun 24, 2020 at 01:13 on Windows and Linux

49234c15e2I committed
b468023aa1yesterday, which should solve (more like, avoid) the swapchain format issue.It seems that OpenGL still entirely fails in SteamVR though, which is why SteamVR is currently broken for us.
We could disable the OpenGL backend specifically for SteamVR, but that might be problematic for our LTS plans (once SteamVR fixes it we should revert the workaround too).
So I'd prefer to wait for a bit to see if SteamVR fixes the OpenGL issues. I don't think it will take long.
Meanwhile leaving this task open as reminder.
@JulianEisel: Thank you for your work!
I just tested again but now I get memory access violation crashes with the following Blender Versions on both, Linux and Windows when I try to start a VR Session:

ec776f18ffBroken: version: 2.90.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2020-06-25 11:54, hash:
8903368490I will create a new report for that (assuming crashes should not happen in any case, even though SteamVR is not working anyway).
Edit: https://developer.blender.org/T78267
But I agree that doing workarounds in Blender for a problem in Steam could easily just be wasting time right now.
hey so with latest steamvr 0.13.8 and blender 2.90.alpha from june 28, the VR view works on (my) GNU-linux machine !
I just have a bizare bug : the left and right view are different in lightness (gamma?) with the left view underlit and the right view at correct luminance
It's not a question of lightning but general luminance (all elements are dimmed)
apart from that positional tracking is good as well as eevee rendering and vr view mirror ... \o/
@Olm-e-9
That's good to hear!
I just tried again myself after reading this but without luck.
With the latest Blender version: 2.90.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2020-06-28 15:13, hash:
b21ba5e579and SteamVR Version 1.13.8 (1593213074) Built Jun 27, 2020 at 01:11
I still get a crash (on Linux as well as Windows).
Can you maybe make a comment with your system info in this report? https://developer.blender.org/T78267
I would suggest to write a report for that.
Can't test myself right now sadly. ^^
