reinstall my games to work!!?
Trying to use steam vr with my oculus dk2 but keep geting message:

"it is expected, that the runtime is in a directory named Steam VR:
your installation is in directory named Open VR:
you need to deinstall Steam VR, VR Monitor, and also halflife, halflife 2, team fortress and other games using the Steam VR runtime, If applicable."

rilly? do i have to uninstall every game that supports vr? 15 games or so....

I cant even find a list that tells me what games use the steam VR runtime anywhere.

i rilly dont what to have to spend the next two days redownloading games on my crappy internet, that i already have installed just to get the damn thing to work properly.

anyone have suggestions?
or better yet a list of bloody games that use that file or comfirm its all of them..

Thank you in advance

Well i suggest try first of all to vrife files for SteamVR, and see if that works, if not try to uninstall then reinstall SteamVR and see if that helps, if that fails as well, try removing only the game you want to play, and SteamVR and then reinstalling them and see if that help
If not.. i guess you will not have any outher way

P.S. try maybe also to vrife all of them, after the first thing

worked for me:
  1. move steamapps/ folder to another place
  2. reinstall steam
  3. install steamvr
  4. move steamapps/ back
  5. spend hours to rehash and redownload all my >400Gb games :(
