Won't load unless VR Headset is attached.

[Absolute Zero]

I thought i would try this game out as soon as i saw it on the store page.
There was just one slight problem:

Every time i try to play the game, SteamVR would pop up and do its initial startup, and DDS would close.
I had my headset unplugged at the time, and i've tried restarting Steam and opening up the game in the local files. Although, i found out that it ran fine if I had my headset ATTACHED to my PC, even with SteamVR enabled.

Although, there's just one slight problem.

The game wasn't intended for VR.

So I have to plug in my headset (which btw, shows nothing but the loading screen for SteamVR) in order for the game to run flawlessly.

Wack.

Does anyone else have a similar experience?

Try unplugging the vr headset before launching the game,, they said in another post they know about it and will have it fixed in the full game.

I've had it unplugged before i launched the game, as i've quoted above. Good to know they're aware of the situation and hope that they fixed it out in the final release.

This happens to every Unreal Engine game, because for some reason VR is default enabled on every project created in UE. There are 2 ways this can be fixed.

1. The developer disabled the VR feature in the project
or
2. Add -nohmd to the launchoptions (rightclick on the game, properties, launch options)
