VR only in Desktop Theater Modus?!
Hello, I have an Oculus DK2 and Win 10. I can run the DK2 only with the Runtime otherwise the DK will not recognize with Oculus Home. When I start Dirt Rally, Steam VR opens a window desktop theater. The game looks as if you were sitting in the cinema and not in the car.
Have seen a video of Dirt where you can look around the whole car. Does not go with the DK2?

Thank you
Tobias

Hallo Tobias, startest du Steam VR? In den Eigenschaften von Dirt Rally, rechtsklick auf Dirt Rally in der Steambibliothek, unter Allgemein ist ein Eintrag "Den VR Kinomodus verwenden wenn Steam VR aktiv ist", hier eventuell mal den Hacken wegnehmen.
Da ich Steam VR nicht aktiv habe, sondern nur Oculus Home aktiv ist wenn ich DR spiele, habe ich das Problem nicht, habe allerdings auch die CV1.
Ich hoffe du bekommst es gefixt, denn DR in VR ist absolut Spitze!

Is it like that when you actually start driving? Its like that for me until I start driving.

Many people in my league have the VR theater bug problem (Rift). It's happening randomly on various systems and we cannot pin-point the source.

The bug is that normally when you are in the menus, you are in ''Theater mode'' where there is a ''virtual'' screen in front of your VR environment, which is fine. Then you get into the car and you fall into ''VR Mode'' where you can look around in the cockpit.

Now, about every 3-4 rallies, online and offline, the game stays in Theater mode when starting the car! And there is no way to get it back in ''VR mode''. The only way is to ''restart'', but that is not option when racing in league events.

There is a thread dedicated to this bug and we did not hear anything from the devs yet.
System:
Windows 10 Home 64-bits
i5 6600K
16GB RAM
GTX 1070 8GB
Oculus RIFT with 2 sensors.
Logitech G25
Here is a dirty workaround, but it works every time.

1. Have the game running in a window on your desktop.
2. When the issue occurs, take your headset off, disconnect your HMD from gfx card (hdmi cable) and then connect it again.
3. Use your mouse and resize the game window, just a little bit is enough.
4. Put your headset on again. Then it should be ok and you are back in real VR mode.

No thats correct ! ,I have a dk2 and the latest Oculus driver and when you start the race it will go in to full VR mode I thought the same when I 1st played the game , I know it sounds obvious but you never know the most obvious thing could actually be the nature of the problem !
