Johnny Dioxin Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 Why does SteamVR start up every time I visit the DCS web page? It's the only website that does this and I get fed up switching off SteamVR only for it to restart repeatedly as I browse the page, even though I have my headset and sensors switched off. It's getting to the point where I'll soon stop visiting the site.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted August 4, 2019 ED Team Posted August 4, 2019 There is no reason for the website to do this as far as I am aware. very odd Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Rosebud47 Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 try to deactivate in Steam Options ( not steamVR! but Steam ) the option for bigscreen overlay and/or ´start steam overlay for non Vr games ...´ maybe it helps ... AH-64D Apache / F-16C Viper / F1 Mirage / Mi-24 Hind / F-14b Tomcat
Johnny Dioxin Posted August 5, 2019 Author Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Already disabled - not a Big Screen fan. There is no reason for the website to do this as far as I am aware. very odd My thoughts, too, hence posting about it. Not just that - this is in Waterfox browser (a simplified, slimmed-down version of Firefox), which has no VR support and is what I use for general browsing and reading. I'll see if Firefox does the same, though I'm using installed Waterfox vs Firefox portable. I'll also try and find any info relating to Waterfox and SteamVR, might be some inconspicuous connection. Edit: - Just found this 2 year-old thread on the Oculus forum that shines some light on the subject: https://forums.oculusvr.com/community/discussion/51131/oculus-software-now-starts-with-every-browser-launch-why Edited August 5, 2019 by Brixmis Rig: Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS; Ryzen 7800X3D ; 64GB DDR5 5600; RTX 4080; VPC T50 CM2 HOTAS; Pimax Crystal Light I'm learning to fly - but I ain't got wings With my head in VR - it's the next best thing!
Johnny Dioxin Posted August 5, 2019 Author Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Okay I fixed it - details to follow shortly :) Well it seems Waterfox does have VR support - which atm I don't require. So - as suggested in the Oculus thread I typed About:config into the address bar, and got a warning that this voids the software warranty (wasn't even aware there was one, so no loss...) I continued and then entered "VR" into the search bar - this is what returned: Simply clicking on a line changes the value from "true" to "false" and vice-versa, so I did this: and that fixed it :) Thanks for the input.
