How to start in VR mode
Hey lads,

I just received my HTC Vive but I can't figure out how to start the game in VR mode. Any one an idea?

Don't know about the Vive, but there are two oculus beta versions to opt into..

Yeah, I installed the oculus version just now but when I start the game, I don't get the option to start it in VR. I basically only get the big screen cinema version :(

Tried both -openvr and -oculus in the launch options, but it doesn't work :(

HTC Vive doesnt work with both ETS2 and ATS. Oculus does work with the newest beta program, but there are problems with the HTC Vive that apparently take a lot of work to fix. It's written in a topic on the Euro Truck Simulator 2 Community hub on Steam. It's stickied.

Quote from a developer:
"To enabled it you need to use the -openvr command line parameter and also it is likely a good idea to disable the "Desktop Game Theatre" for the game as the game is not marked as VR-compatible in Steam."

This used to work with the dev kit, it doesn't anymore.

Anyway, I don't know about you, but I sold my Vive already. The resolution was just too low for me to tolerate. I think VR (and graphics cards specifically) need a few more years of development before they're actually ready.

You guys enjoy the device!
