Talisman_VR Posted yesterday at 10:36 AM Posted yesterday at 10:36 AM Hi Folks, Just got a new PC and am fresh downloading everything from scratch. Searched the internet, but can't find a definitive solution to stop Steam VR from launching when I want to run DCS without VR. This did not happen with my old rig, but something seems to have changed. This is driving me crazy, lol. What I am missing? Any hints/tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Happy landings, Talisman
SharpeXB Posted yesterday at 01:41 PM Posted yesterday at 01:41 PM (edited) Try this. From the Library, right click on the title. Select Properties / General. There it will list Launch Options where you can choose VR, normal or if to ask when starting. I don’t have DCS on Steam but that’s how it works in another game.

Talisman_VR Posted 21 hours ago Author Posted 21 hours ago Many thanks SharpeXB. But not sure this will help me as I did not purchase DCS through Steam. Happy landings, Talisman

Talisman_VR Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Hi Qcumber, I am using a Somnium VR1. With my old PC it took so long to open DCS, that I had time to turn off Steam VR when it popped up after I clicked the DCS desktop icon, allowing DCS time to load in flat screen mode, no problems. However, with my new faster PC, DCS starts to load so quick now that no matter how quick I am to shut down Steam VR when it pops up, I can't win and it messes up DCS as it is loading because I have just turned off Steam VR, lol. Result is that I am having to uninstall Steam each time I want to work on DCS in flat screen mode, otherwise I can't get DCS to launch as I want it. LOL Happy landings, Talisman P.S. This is a problem even though I have my VR headset turned off, completely disconnected, unplugged and my lighthouse also unplugged/disconnected. Edited 1 hour ago by Talisman_VR
