Vr headset not connected?

[3van8t0r]

Every time I start my game it keeps saying "No Head Mounted Display found. You must have a VR headset to play this game." I have tried to change to openXR but it didn't do anything? Im on index.

Same on Pico neo3 link. Tried all the fixes on steam forums and nothing works. Posted on Skydance Behemoth discord - people also complaining about it there.

Is there no fix for this? Do we return the game?

[Sebit]

For me works great only when i choose VDXR in virtual destop

in steamVR mode it doesn't see the vr headset (when I turn off the add-on in VR settings) or it starts the game and there is only sound without image

change in the game launch mode, e.g. meta or steam link does not work

They broke something because before the patch everything worked fine

Don't launch the game from SteamVR. Launch it from Steam, just like a regular game.
You'll have three options to launch the game.
Meta XR seems to be crashing. Choose "Steam Open XR" mode.
It worked for me. (vive pro and valve index)

OP please mark Stan91's reply as the answer for your question if the option is available. Helps others solve their problem faster if the answer is the first thing they see on the discussion. Confirmed to work for 3 other people at least (Stan91, LOGVI, and me). Hopefully this fixed it for you too!

didnt work for me using a quest 3

[pokemarco2005]

For anyone still having this problem. I had it too after an update, no idea which one, and I was playing around with the settings until I figured out how to fix it. I play on a meta quest 2 with steam link. This are the steps that worked for me
1- Load up Steam VR on your Quest, that will open it up on your pc.
2- Select Behemoth.
3- Still on your Quest click the gear icon on the far right.
4- Go to properties.
5- In the General tab look for Select Launch Options
6- Then select Play Steam OpenXR Mode (Steam Link Compatible) THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, OPEN THIS ON YOUR QUEST NOT YOUR PC OTHERWISE IT WONT WORK
7- It will open by itslef, if it doesnt just open it

I hope this worked for yall

I have Index and have the same problem. To launch the game I had to have SteamVR and my headset off and launch the game on desktop, like a non-vr game. After it launches and SteamVR boots up and I could play.

doesnt work for me with a quest 3

[FolkSong]

For Quest 3 if you're using Air Link or USB cable, You need to open the Meta app and make sure it's set as the default OpenXR handler. There will be a banner at the top if it's not.

The level of stupidity releasing a patch that stops the game from running is truly insane.

Not having it fixed asap is even more insane.

I never had any real issues with the game before, but now I get the error of no hmd detected.
Maybe I can launch from Steam with SteamVR off, but this is a joke.

Using Index, Win10, RTX 3090.

Dear devs - fix SteamVR with the Index asap - please, and I'd love to add some sugar on top.

Or maybe we need to put some spotlight on this total lack of competence on Reddit. I just changed my previous positive review to negative - will change it back, when the game works properly again.

I decided to hop in since last played in December, and same here - no hmd found! I am using direct display port connection so no streaming issues, it is first time ever I see that kind of error message and I tried a lot of VR games. Pico Neo 3 Link, Win 11. Judging from SteamDB there is currently around dozen of people who are able to run this game without this issue. Where is the catch?

I found CrashReportClient.ini:
[CrashReportClient]
bHideLogFilesOption=false
bIsAllowedToCloseWithoutSending=true
CrashConfigPurgeDays=2
DataRouterUrl="https://o68166.ingest.sentry.io/api/4504997170511872/unreal/1aa80eec1cb64c6a8607ddf598261671/"

I found the solution/workaround:
Go to folder C:\Users\......\AppData\Local\BHM\Saved\Config\Windows
open file: GameUserSettings.ini
find line: FullscreenMode=1
set it to: FullscreenMode=0
Game works!

Awesome work, thanks - I'll test this later.

Still normal users do not read this forum, devs need to fix this error asap - especially if it is this simple!

Behemoth is one of the most amazing VR games, but I bet new users will ask for a refund very fast if the game wrongfully says there's no hmd.
