Multi Threading client won't open in Steam VR, it keeps trying to open in Oculus (which I don't want).

Hey!

I have an Index and a Quest 2. I usually play DCS in my Index. Using the regular Beta client, this still works absolutely fine.

However, if I try and set the MT version to launch in VR mode, it completely refuses to open in Steam VR on my Index. Instead it keeps opening Oculus Home (even though my Quest isn't plugged in or turned on) and the game still just keeps running in 2D.

If I plug in my Quest 2 and turn it on, it will happily launch right into the Quest in VR mode but I'd much rather use my Index (comfort and FoV).

I saw some comments about Skate zilla's tool (which I'd never heard of until now) but alas, that isn't helping me either as it appears you choose a build by selecting the parent folder for the build, rather than the bin folder containing the .exe.

I also tried opening Steam VR first, then launching the MT client, to no avail.

Does anyone know a workaround for this? It's super challenging even googling for help on this as the search terms are always so broad.

Thanks.

Ps. I'm an absolute novice with DCS - I only play it every now and then so go easy on me with the nomenclature. I'll likely need help with context if there are any super technical answers. Thanks again

PPs. This is the native DCS client I'm using, not the Steam version.

Just click right mouse button in your windows bar, select "scheduler administrator" in my spanish rig is "administrador de tareas" and at the services tab search for "OVRservice and OVRlibraryblahblah" and stop this services before launch, problem solved.

Thanks, I didn't have to do that in the end, just setting it to openxr in the Steam VR settings as suggested by daconus worked fine. 
Thanks still!
