Problem with toggling VR mode in Oculus Quest 2

[AbuMahmood]

I have the following issue with my Oculus Quest 2: after booting up the Quest, I go to Oculus Link and then enter Steam VR. I then start SW:Squadrons through the SteamVR app while in the Quest view using the controllers. This results in SW:Squadrons actually starting to run from Steam on my desktop. Meanwhile in SteamVR in the Quest I enter a void where the SW:Squadrons game is running, where it only shows a SW:Squadrons banner with the text "Next up" underneath it. Meanwhile the SW:Squadrons has booted on the desktop (with sound coming from the Quest, not the desktop).

However, nothing changes in Quest view. When I subsequently try to toggle to VR mode either in the SW:Squadrons menu or in-game during a mission, I get asked to "Look forward and hold "-" to recalibrate your headset". However, this is where I get stuck, because nothing happens when I do this. There's no response at all in the Quest view, and in the desktop view it just reverts to the menu and nothing changes.

Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks in advance!

I replied to your post in the other thread but I will also post it here just in case you miss it.

Do not use SteamVR while using a Oculus headset for this game , the game already has native Oculus support and SteamVR conflicts with it , try enabling allow apps from unknown sources in your Oculus software and then launching the game directly from Oculus Home.

Hopefully this resolves the issue for you , I had issues with my Rift S that were a result of SteamVR conflicting with the native Oculus support within the game.

Ok, so do not even run Steam VR? Will give it a try, thanks!
