How to Set Up OpenXR

Use the Right VR Runtime:

• For Meta/Oculus headsets, use the Meta Quest Link app.
  
• For other headsets, use SteamVR.

Set Active OpenXR Runtime:

Make sure your VR runtime is set as the active OpenXR runtime.

SteamVR Users:

1. Open SteamVR settings.
   
2. Go to OpenXR > Set SteamVR as OpenXR Runtime.
   
3. Restart SteamVR.

Meta Quest Link Users:

1. Open Meta Quest Link settings.
   
2. Go to General > Set Meta Quest Link as OpenXR Runtime.
   
3. Restart Meta Quest Link.

Important Notes

• Default Settings: Always use default settings in your VR runtime. Avoid using VR toolkits or modifying runtime settings, as these can negatively impact physics and gameplay.
  
• Why OpenXR Matters: When OpenXR isn’t configured properly, common issues include:
  
  • Controllers failing to track.
    
  • The game not launching in VR mode.
    
  • Physics behaving incorrectly.

By following this guide, your OpenXR setup should now be ready for smooth VR gaming.
