Madmatt_BFC Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 This is not an issue because you can still play DCS using SteamVR without having the Steam version of DCS. You just need to download and install SteamVR (if you don't already have it). Then before launching DCS, have SteamVR running. Now launch DCS (with the VR options you want enabled) and it will work. This is how everyone without an Oculus that owns the non-Steam version of DCS have been doing it for over 2 years now.

Wmacky Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 While we and talking about about SteamVR. New to steam, but will need it for my Pimax and upcoming Reverb. Can I just install SteamVR. Or, do have have to install "Steam" first then steam VR is a add on module? How does this work? I cant find just staem VR alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It quite clearly states in the ED store standalone modules are NOT compatible with steam But im wondering/thinking the maps should not be an issue?

Madmatt_BFC Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) It quite clearly states in the ED store standalone modules are NOT compatible with steam But im wondering/thinking the maps should not be an issue? SteamVR, is installed within Steam, however it is merely the VR wrapper (or API if you will) used to run VR games on any non-Oculus based device. You are confusing game versions (steam or non-steam) with VR subsystem (Oculus or SteamVR). From all that I have read and seen by people playing with many different VR headsets, it doesn't matter if the module supports steam or not. You aren't playing it within Steam, you are just using the SteamVR program to initialize your VR headset. So, you would need to install Steam, then install SteamVR. Then you can launch SteamVR, which would activate your VR headset, then launch DCS (making sure that you have VR enabled in the settings). If you want, you can even add DCS to your library of Steam games because Steam allows you to add any program as a "Non-Steam" game. If you want to make this even easier, just install Skatezillas DCS Updater utility and click the VR/On button to always launch DCS with the VR flag enabled. You will still need to have SteamVR installed. The messages about DCS modules not being compatible with the Steam version of DCS are talking about an issue where you buy the game from within Steam and then buy a module outside of steam on the ED storefront. Put simply, Steam has its own way of updating programs and licensing and for DCS it doesn't like you mixing and matching modules purchased from two different storefronts. However, that is all separate from SteamVR. Here are some threads that also confirm how this works: https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/0/133261370010899514 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=223013 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=195359 Edited June 3, 2019 by Madmatt_BFC A-10C, AV-8B, F-16C, F/A-18C, KA-50, Mi-8, UH-1H, FC3, CA, WWII, NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf Gaming Rig: I7 7700k @5GHz, Corsair H115i Water Cooling, 32GB G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3600MHz DDR4 SDRAM, Aorus GeForce GTX 1080Ti, 2 x Samsung 960 Pro M.2 1TB NVMe SSD's, Warthog HOTAS w/ Slew mod, MFG Crosswind Pedals, 2 x TM Cougar MFD's, Oculus Rift-S, TrackIR 5, Asus ROG PG3480 34" GSync Monitor @3440x1440-100Hz, Asus 27" Monitor @1920x1080-144Hz, Windows 10 x64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Bushman Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Yes you will need steamvr. Which will require steam. But as has been mentioned, you do not need the steam version of the game for use with either of the main VR headsets. Just starting DCS should launch the appropriate service be it steamvr or Oculus. i7 8700k @ 4.7, 32GB 2900Mhz, 1080ti, CV1 Virpil MT-50\Delta, MFG Crosswind, Warthog Throttle, Virptil Mongoost-50 throttle.
