MotherVR game wont launch on windows 11?

[Mil0]

The game does not want to launch in VR when using the MotherVR 0.8.1 version. I tried the unchecked settings, -steamvr launch, desktop shortcut, older version of mothervr but without any success. I am using Windows 11 and it seems like others are having this issue too. Is there any solution?

Im having the same issue windows 11 still not fixed didn't read this until after i bought the game

Remembering what people said... while I don't have this problem because I have Win 10 pro... I think that you can only wait for a chance that the Mod developer can update this for Win 11... but I hope someone found a solution and will share it here soon or late.

Is there any error message? I don't use Win 11, but when I upgraded from 8 to 10 I had to manually load several drivers that Win 10 didn't come with. I wonder if Win 11 users aren't having the same problem...

It's weird because mothervr works on epic (win11) using steam vr so it's apparently also a steam version issue

Maybe in win 11 -steamVr at lunch options is not detected for whatever reason....

Found a solution while tinkering around today. Follow this link. https://github.com/Nibre/MotherVR/issues/229#issuecomment-1175410180

MotherVR 0.8.1 Windows 11 Fix **Just For Steam Version**

First Run:
1. Connect your headset with SteamVR
2. Running the alien_debug.bat file
3. launching AI.exe
4. press enter to continue
5. in option menu go to MotherVR and enable VR with SteamVR/Oculus Link
6. Play / Have Fun

Fix:
1. Downloaf ProcDump https://download.sysinternals.com/files/Procdump.zip
2. Extract it, then create a *.txt file in the same folder, copy: .\procdump.exe -e -h -w -s 3 AI.exe /accepteula & pause
into it, and save it
3. Rename the *.txt file to alien_debug.bat
4. Double click on the .bat, and it should say 'Waiting for process named AI.exe...'. So then you start up Alien,
and if it crashes, this program should create a AI.exe_170827_XXXXXX.dmp file that can be inspected.
5. Go to SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common move (cut & paste) the Alien Isolation folder to somewhere outside of Steamapps.
I went with E:\SteamLibrary\patchedapps as that's the same drive I have Steam on.
6. Rename the Alien Isolation folder to AlienIsolation.
7. Delete the SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Alien Isolation folder if it still exists
8. Open a command prompt in admin and enter: mklink /d "Path To Steam Alien Isolation Folder" "Path To New Location"
exemple: mklink /d "E:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Alien Isolation" "E:\SteamLibrary\patchedapps\AlienIsolation"

If I could rent my computer to help people to play this in VR I could do it. I am so sorry for those that can't make this to work :(

Also remember to check windows project setting. Press WINDOWS key + P and select duplicate. Many forget this settings. This will solve the problem when you can't see the game in your VR.
