Willie Nelson Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 I have been using the Reverb with DCS for some time now and love it but just today I seem to now be getting the Steam Library Overlay appearing in the Steam VR screen (that I can see in the HMD after switchin on VR) I don't know how to get rid of it, any ideas? It displays the time up the top and the three recently played apps (in my case the only three apps ever played on this PC) below that I can see the concertrc circles moving out toward the mountains and the stars above although that's all been darkened with the overlay appearing. I'd appreciate any help, cheers. i7700k OC to 4.8GHz with Noctua NH-U14S (fan) with AORUS RTX2080ti 11GB Waterforce. 32GDDR, Warthog HOTAS and Saitek rudders. HP Reverb.
Baldrick33 Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Yeh I have seen this. I start the WMR portal, then SteamVR then DCS (or any other VR app) and it works ok. If the device has gone to sleep I jut click on the WMR portal, click wake, then start SteamVR then DCS.

Willie Nelson Posted February 29, 2020 Author Posted February 29, 2020 I hadn't had it go to sleep to trigger the Steam VR library overlay to come up, having said that, clicking on the WMR portal seems to be a reasonable temporary workaround, thanks for that. Does anyone know how to inhibit this overlay coming up in the first instance? i7700k OC to 4.8GHz with Noctua NH-U14S (fan) with AORUS RTX2080ti 11GB Waterforce. 32GDDR, Warthog HOTAS and Saitek rudders.

Willie Nelson Posted March 2, 2020 Author Posted March 2, 2020 So I have learnt a little more about the problem since switching on my VR controllers.....which I don't normally use. If I select DCS from within SteamVR then the overlay will dissappear, I have never made a habit of using the controllers to power up DCS and I don't want to start now. Is there a way I can start DCS from within the SteamVR overlay without using controllers? i7700k OC to 4.8GHz with Noctua NH-U14S (fan) with AORUS RTX2080ti 11GB Waterforce. 32GDDR, Warthog HOTAS and Saitek rudders.

Willie Nelson Posted April 20, 2020 Author Posted April 20, 2020 I've got a new version of this problem now, Ihave been using the controllers to point and shoot at the DCS icon within VR sine the above problem arose, which incidentally is a PIA that I didn't previously have to worry about. Now however, after I select the DCS from within VR it starts loading and a differnt steam overlay comes up that, I cannot get rid of, would anyone know what it is that I am missing. This new problem started since completing the latest Windows update just the other day. Aprreciate any insight. i7700k OC to 4.8GHz with Noctua NH-U14S (fan) with AORUS RTX2080ti 11GB Waterforce. 32GDDR, Warthog HOTAS and Saitek rudders. HP Reverb.
Willie Nelson Posted April 21, 2020 Author Posted April 21, 2020 Self solved, going to Steam and selecting "run as administrator" in shortcut-advanced settings seems to have fixed the problem. Okay, okay, I know many of you would have already known that but I didn't! i7700k OC to 4.8GHz with Noctua NH-U14S (fan) with AORUS RTX2080ti 11GB Waterforce. 32GDDR, Warthog HOTAS and Saitek rudders.
