Enable full VR experience ?

[mphawse]

i turned vr on and set up my oculus link but when i run GGmax in vr mode all i can choose in oculus is which monitor to display. that seems to work but its just a big 2d monitor with vr controls working. there is no imerssive experience in ful vr. how do i get GGmax into full vr mode?

This is how i do it for the Quest 2

so i get that all except when i click the VR icon it just full screens i do not get the immersive experience in my headset. i am using my quest 2 as the open xr device i double checked that setting. i feel im missing some other step to get it to pass thru the vr experience. still just gettng the big movie screen display even tho the controls for vr work im not getting the wrap around vr immersive experience.

It sounds like your defaulting to the Steam VR Theater which is as you describe.
You must have something set in your Steam VR settings ?

not using that. i am simply clicking on the vr head icon in game guru max and in oculus link selecting the monitor that game guru is on. today i tried making sure im in a dedicated usb 3 port with nothing in between. i made sure to select deny when oculus asks to allow access to files on th device as the oculus forums sugest. i reset all my experimental features including refresh to factory default. still get the same thing. do i need to update my vr drivers or something? im just stock with whatever installs in windows 11 and oculus software.

ok so i installed steam vr and it runs perfectly. it seems game guru max is the culprit.

Ahh right ... That explains it. Thats not a bug. You need Steam VR installed for the OpenXR and Steam VR games. Not much will work without it :)
I assumed you had done that.

Sorry steam vr worked perfectly game guru max still doesn't. however i am launching ggmax from my desktop as it doesnt show in steam vr. i did launch from steam too but just the normal steam app and it didnt make any difference.

Did you check out the video i posted in my first reply.
you must launch Max from the Questlink \ Airlink Desktop inside VR
Then load the level and hit the VR icon to launch.
Could you do a video of how you are launching so i can see what your seeing and better assist.

I remade the Video on using the Quest 2 with Max for VR
If your doing it like this then it really should just work.

yes exactly what im doing. but when yours changes to go into vr mode that half a second when you get the black around the desktop mode then is switches to your vr mode, right at 54 seconds. thats what i get dumped into and stay there until i force close the program.

I noticed you mentioned using cable. Can you not use Airlink wireless ?
That the only different i am doing that i can see ?

GG Max do not want use my HTC VIVE PRO 2 Controllers. I turned all on in OpenXR, but nothing. All Steam and Non-Steam Games using my Headset and controllers via SteamVR, only GG Max wont. I only can use my headset in combination with keyboard and mouse.

Its working at the moment.

No, it doesn't.

I have HTC VIVE Pro 2 with the HTC Vive Pro 2 controllers (from Full Kit).

- Headset is working
- Controllers not working correctly. Can't move or turn with them. In SteamVR all VR-Games are listed in the calibrate/configurate controllers menu. But GGMax isn't there. So i can't configure the controllers for GGMax.

see this picture https://ibb.co/GH4mxGV

- If i use the headset i can not open doors or turn with the keyboard.
- If i use the headset i can not use the mouse for open doors or turn.
- If i activate the not configurable controllers, i can use them only for open the doors. And as special effect, then the mouse is useable for turning. I don't have a third hand for use keyboard, mouse and controllers at the same time.

In all other games, Steam an Non-Steam, the controllers works perfectly via SteamVR and they are configurable via SteamVR. But not with GGMax. Frustrating. Check the code, there must be some error in it.

Sorry my english, it's not my motherlanguage.
