Switched from Steam to Standalone - VR questions


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi there. I hope its the right place here to ask:

 

As i mentioned i switched from Steam to Standalone. In Steam i had the oportunity to select at the start if i wanna play 2D or VR (i switch relatively often, because mission editing i do on the Monitor).

 

Now i have no choice. Just when the game is fired i can check the box under VR options and the game starts new in VR. But now my Oculus software starts as well - even i do not use a Oculus (i use a Reverb G2), and Steam VR and WMR. How can i avoid starting oculus....i mean, this makes no sense at all...

You can only switch through the settings on standalone as you mention. I do agree that a way to switch before launching the game would be a big improvement when using the ME.

 

For the Oculus, uninstall the software and go to services.msc to make sure that no oculus service is running in the background. You only need SteamVR and SteamVR for WMR to run your G2.

let's you make the choice between 2D and VR (and a lot more).

Oh thank you. My 1st goal is to start DCS with WMR/Steam V only and make it to completely ignore Oculus - since i did not even own one.

 

The reason why oculus is installed on my system is simple: I own a couple of games which i purchased in Oculus store and after switching to Reverb G2 still wanna play via revive.

 

And the problem is: When i close Oculus after launching DCS, DCS will close as well...i dont get it at all...

With the above tool you can auto launch scripts, select which VR software you want to run, start in 2D, start in VR, update DCS or beta, change stable to beta and vice versa etc, etc, etc.

You might need a VR entry in some config lua file removed to start from scratch but i didn't find any in mine so i guess you don't have to).

Ask over in the VR forum: https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/302-virtual-reality/

Make a second shortcut for no vr

 

"E:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS.exe" --force_disable_VR

 

I made a shortcut to the exe, and then added the rest in shortcut properties - in the target field

 

This won't run the updater, but it starts in 2d
