Display/menus not showing

[ALiEN556]

Everything was working fine. When i launch steamVR i can see the cog but when i click on it the top of the page show OVR advanced setting but the page is empty. I can see no menus everything is blank - any ideas ?

Issue: Upon clicking ADV-Settings icon no page shows up.

Cause: related to multiple GPU systems Displaying OpenGL on low power GPU first (IGPU's primarily) [some programs such as alvr may also cause this issue]

Solution for Nvidia GPU's: go to Nvidia Control Panel -> manage 3D settings -> Program Settings -> add Advanced Settings, and change OpenGL Rendering GPU to the GPU your VR is connected to.

Solution for Windows (1803+): go to Settings -> System -> Display -> Select Classic App and Browse for AdvancedSettings.exe -> Click Options -> Select High Performance

I have this issue and I tried everything you texted. Is not working, Idk what to do?

Assuming you have the cog, the Nuclear option is to disable other GPU's at bios level (including integrated).

but the nvidia option should work, as it does appear to be almost entirely driver decisions for mobile Nvidia cards.

The reality is if those options don't work for you, then It will take involved troubleshooting and considerable time investment.

There are a few other options to do things, you can launch it in desktop mode or edit setting directly, but it's obviously not user friendly.

But if you still have the issue I would recommend hopping over to our discord and we get more in-depth troubleshooting.

how to find you on discord? and can the issue be related to the thing that I have only one HDMI input on my video card that I use for VR and in this position Nvidia control panel doesnt work, so I swith my monitor from mothercard HDMI to videocard HDMI and only like that I can open control panel and work with settings there.

It's pinned at top of main forum, but https://discord.gg/CX8Kh8G is another link, but yea that is almost certainly the issue : / well at least part of it.

I happen to have this same exact issue, been searching around if anyone had this problem. Good to know there's possible solutions.

Can't see the OVR menu

I have around 1000 hours in OVR so far (using 2 steam accounts). I've recently reinstalled my windows, and ever since when I open OVR the icon appears but there's nothing when I click on it. Is there a solution? I feel disabled without playspace mover :(
