Vr Headset issues

Game Discussion Simulator Battle
35

I’ve tried using airlink but the game doesn’t open on the quest 3 just on my desktop

36

i just tried virtual desktop and the same thing happens, the game opens but doesn’t go into vr mode

37

If you are using steam go into the game options on steam and select the launch mode as “manual game updater” , urumoch game from steam library then in the WT app make sure VR mode is enabled and try to launch the game

38

That was one of the first things i tried but still the same issue, it doesn’t go into vr mode

39

Use the VDXR with HEVC codec setting in the VR Desktop launcher options. It also gives a 10-15% performance gain compared to SteamVR.

Thanks for the suggestion! I tried using VDXR with the HEVC codec in the Virtual Desktop launcher options, but unfortunately, it didn’t change the issue. War Thunder still launches on my desktop and doesn’t enter VR mode on my Quest 3.

Other VR games, like No Man’s Sky, work fine, so it seems like the issue is specific to War Thunder. I’ve also tried launching the game both through SteamVR and directly via the Meta app (Oculus runtime), but it remains stuck on the “Next Up” screen in the headset.

If anyone has any other suggestions or knows of a fix, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks again for the help!

did WT ever start up in VR?

42

No not at all

43

it’s probably BattleEye meddling with your files.

Do you get atleast an error message?

the game runs fine but only on my pc or in desktop mode in virtual desktop

  1. Did you start WT via steam or via virtual desktop?
    If over steam, check if its set to VR
    (right click on WT, properties…)

  2. When the game runs and you open the Virtual Desktop screen (menu button on left Q3 controller), there should be a button for “switch to VR” or something like that.

  3. Another thing you could try is the standalone version of WT.
    There is a switch for VR in the launcher.

One small thing: What is the order in which you start? Do you first connect your headset to the PC, then start WT, or start WT, then turn on the headset and connect it?

48

open VD in the quest3 lunch steamVR then WT

49

Hm, don’t VD and SteamVR have the same function, connecting the PC to the headset?

Did you try leaving out SteamVR?

50

if i dont use steam vr and open the game straight through the VD game menu it lunches the game but i cant switch to vr mode

51

I have VR mode always toggeld on in WT. When I launch with headset connected, it automatically opens in VR, if I have the headset not connected (for tanks and ships), it automatically starts in desktop mode.

My process:

  1. Start headset
  2. Start VD on headset => headset connects automatically to PC (as VD streamer app is autostarted with Windows)
  3. Start WT launcher => WT starts in VR mode

is this how you do it?

54

No, I don’t use the link in VD as you do at 0:44. I simply connect VD. Then I start WT via my desktop shortcut.

I’m not sure about the function of SteamVR. Can you also start WT without SteamVR on your system?

I have the suspicion that maybe VD and SteamVR cause a conflict, but I’m no specialist or savvy enough to really know…

I uninstalled steam vr and the same thing happens, when you lunch the game dose it change from desktop view into vr view?
