Run room setup missing (Oculus Rift)

[Rocho]

Hi everyone:
I've been using Oculus Rift with SteamVR without any problems until now, but something has changed. I don't have the option "Run room setup" but a simple "Run tutorial" and everything related to room scale, center position, and height looks wrong, including SteamVR Home (my character seems to be under the floor). Since I can´t calibrate my room scale nor my height or center position, there is no blue circle on the floor anymore.
Any ideas about this? Thanks.

Start Steam VR, then look your VR games in your Steam Games library, now there have appeared some SteamVR apps, including SteamVR Room Setup.

Don't see it there. Tried a search for "room" too. Can you post the appid? maybe I can search for it in the store that way and install it or install it with steamcmd.

Edit: The "game" appears in the VR menu for me when in VR but not in the regular steam client

That's exactly what I meant.

SO here's the workaroud
Launch steam, launch Steam VR, then go back into your library and you will see in the VR section of games that the room setup appears like it's a game in the vr games list. Run it and fix your room setup. ANd an FYI the hight measurment seems to be a bit optomistic. by that i mean broken! so set your heignt about 10 cm lower than you actually are. Possibly could just be my end tho.

Ok, room setup is functional again BUT, where is the blue circle on the floor? It's missing, or at least I'm not able to activate it.
Please, Valve, enable it again for Oculus Rift users.

What blue circle? I've only ever had an option of floor bounds.

[Rocho]

If you chose standing only and not room scale, there was a blue circle in the middle of the floor.

Same here: Room setup don`t see HMD(Oculus rift CV1).
Oculus software is on, accept unkown sources is enabled, there is a small steam window which shows my HMD, oculus touch controllers and the 2 sensors as "green". My position in steam vr app - under floor.

See above.

Quick stupid question, are you guys tripping the visor sensor with your hand or even a piece of tape to keep the HMD turned on while you do the room setup?

This issue got me when I tried to calibrate the floor. Without wearing your HMD, (or tricking the sensor in the visor), steam will not track the headset. I just stuck my hand in the visor during calibration.

Edit: referring to demeal's post.

You can also run the program directly from the folder, in my case : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\tools\steamvr_room_setup\win64

Yes! Room setup had seen HMD(Oculus rift CV1) when I closed the visor sensor with my hand. The absurdity of the situation is that Rom Setup instructs to remove the helmet from the head, but this program at the time of tuning should "think" that the helmet on the head otherwise says that "HMD is not connected".Thank you, Daemoc.

Hey, guys, it seems that those options are only hidden until you start SteamVR, then they appear again in your Steam Library as any other game, including SteamVR Room Setup. :)

Thanks a lot! You nailed it!

This is the most annoying setup I have ever come around. I love Steam, but the whole VR configuration is a utter mess :/

I got the app to execute by running;
G:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\tools\steamvr_room_setup\win64\steamvr_room_setup.exe

This app is not well designed for the Rift as it does not operate in VR. It requires;
- the headset to sometimes be placed on the head to activate its connection
- (the controllers to sometimes have their buttons pressed to activate their connection)
- the controllers to be placed in a position within view of the sensors (eg the floor)
- the rift to be held in hands or placed on the floor for calibration (rather than the head)
- the rift to be carried around with a controller to define the play area boundary

Just in case someone still runs into the same problem and since this is quite a popular google search result: If you're using the Oculus Rift with SteamVR, you don't need the SteamVR chaperone system at all. I'm guessing this is why the "run room setup"-button doesn't has been removed by Valve. Instead you should go into your Oculus App and run the Guardian System setup. The Guardian system does the same thing and also works in SteamVR games. With this method you only have to setup Guardian once and it works in every game, both Oculus and SteamVR.
