Oculus/SteamVR sanity check on opening

[Mr_sukebe]

Hoping that one of you kind chaps can assist.

I'm using a Rift S with DCS standalone.

I'm trying to run the Rift S using SteamVR, such that I can enable FSR and VRnecksafer.  To do that, I've been using the Skatezilla App (screenshot below).

 

What I'm rather confused about is that whilst I was able to select the SteamVR API using the dropdown for Rendering Driver, directly under there the tickbox next to SteamVR Client is empty and the option to Launch is greyed out.

Additionally, VRnecksafer seems to work fine for "that other combat sim" and also works in the Steam homepage, but certainly doesn't work in DCS.   Makes me wonder if I'm actually using SteamVR, or Oculus.

 

I've tried browsing for what I assume would be called the SteamVR.exe, but nothing is called that and when I point to the folder Steam/SteamApps/Common/SteamVR/bin/win64, that doesn't help.

 

Am I missing something really obvious?

i think its meant to point at

 

x:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR

I just try and click on the Browse button next to SteamVR Client,  a directory tree dialogue box shows up and it is not looking for a specific file, just here the directory in which SteamVR binary is in.

Just tried that, didn't help and didn't find an exe.

I select the following and it seems to work, at least  for me:

[Mr_sukebe]

By work, do you mean that you can tick the box in the Skatezilla app?

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

You do not click on the checkbox in the VR Interface Setting. Just click on the "Browse" button next to SteamVR Client entry.

[Mr_sukebe]

Do your settings for VR look the same as mine within the Skatezilla App?

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

I do not understand.

I included a pic of how the Skatezilla App looks with my config.  Does yours look the same?

Okay, here is mine:

[Mr_sukebe]

Thanks.  Yours does not look the same

I guess the difference you should take note on is that I have the SteamVR binary registered with the utility.

OK, nailed it.  The issue was the wrong path.  It needed the correct location for the Steam folder that has the SteamVr folder within, but not actually any deeper than the Steam folder.
