So, i recently got a quest 3s and wanted to play war thunder in Vr, however every tutorial i found online is on steam, but i downloaded the game via the launcher, so steam vr doesn’t work. I have tried activating the Vr mode on the setting but that doesn’t work, i just get a 2d screen in my headset, i can’t find anyone explaining how this works, so could someone help me ? Is it even possible ?
I used a Quest 2 before, now got a Quest 3, working perfectly fine, and not via Steam.
Question: What method do you use to connect to the PC? Air Link? Cable? Virtual Desktop?
Do you manage to connect to the PC fine?
Airlink, and yeah i can connect to my pc just fine
Yup, they’re turned on and it still does nothing
Not sure if it’s automatically also toggled when you activate VR in the game, but is the launcher also showing VR toggled on?
Yeah
Hm, I’m quite at a loss, sorry…
Ah, you just turned these settings on and it worked ? Or maybe i need virtual desktop ?
I first started with cable, then later used Air Link, and only recently switched to Virtual Desktop /which offers best quality I find), but in all cases it worked immediately, and I didn’t have to tweak or adjust anythin.
Also, first try was on my old potato, but also there no issues (apart from performance). So far I have installed and used 4 headsets (2x Q2, 2x Q3) on 4 different PC’s ( my old PC, my stepson’s PC, my dad’s PC), with no connection issues as you describe.
Oh, have you tested if another PC VR application works correctly?
To try you could install e.g. Google Earth, which only exists as PC VR version, for free…
Hm, i can connect to my pc and control it, but my game stays in 2D, like if i just had the screen in front of me, not a 3D Cocpit, so i guess it’s a setting issue, i’m gonna try downloading it on steam to see if i can get steam vr, but i’ll have to find a way to transfer my data over there
I’ll try that, thank you
You can also try Virtual Desktop (which offers a “crispier” image, and I find the connection method much less error prone), but it isn’t free. Don’t know the price now, but I got it during a sale for less than 10 euros, I think…
It’s 25 euros rn, i didn’t wanna buy it since i didn’t know if it’ll work, but if it comes to this after all my attempts i’ll get it
