HoneyBadger Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I recently replaced my Oculus Rift with the Valve Index and I can't get DCS to start in VR without starting Oculus Home. I don't want to uninstall Oculus as I have some games on it I wish to play with Revive, so how do I force DCS into SteamVR mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to uninstall Oculus as I have some games on it I wish to play with Revive, so how do I force DCS into SteamVR mode? I replaced my Rift with the Reverb. I have to start SteamVR and the WMR before starting DCS. Oculus Software still comes up, but DCS starts into my Reverb. And the Oculus is disconnected currently.

Oculus Software still comes up, but DCS starts into my Reverb. And the Oculus is disconnected currently. I tried this but it still brings up Oculus when I start DCS. I can't close Oculus either without closing DCS. Also I didn't mention but my performance is pretty bad, even with everything turned down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highwayman-Ed Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Check to see if Oculus is set to run as an Administrator. I switched from a CV1 to a Pimax 5K XR, and this runs without either Oculus or SteamVR "running", but the settings in SteamVR effect how the Pimax renders, so it must be playing some part. I found that when the Oculus home software wasn't set to run as administrator, the Oculus client would start every time that I started DCS. Changing this stopped that behaviour.

icetbag Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Im late to the party on this thread, but I also have this behaviour having just upgraded from a Rift CV1 to Reverb - however I have noticed it only started doing this since installing Revive so I could play my rift games on the reverb (I have Oculus set to run as Admin). Has anyone found a solution (bar removing Revive)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select the build you want to launch first, then adjust the settings to use SteamVR instead of Oculus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
