game turns on VR and won't start

[NeonReactions]

When I start the game it starts up my SteamVR and crashes. I don't want to play it in VR - neither is that possible. I just want to play the regular game?!!?!? Does anyone know a workaround for that? How can I take out the command to start SteamVR?

I have the same issue

Same thing for me and looking at all other posts about this the developer does not have a clue how to solve it. Judging by some of the responses on here from them it looks like the don't know what is causing it.

damn.... I reinstalled the the older Pool Nation ... without FX in the title.. and that one works fine. At least I can play a few rounds of pool that way.

Oculus Rift Only!

What to do is make a .bat file to disable the Oculus Service.

- Right-click Desktop and choose New > Text Document

- Open this and paste the following code:



@echo off
echo Preparing to disable Oculus Runtime Services
pause

net stop OVRService

echo Oculus Runtime Stopped, enjoy your non-VR experience
echo When you're ready to re-enable VR
pause

net start OVRService

echo Oculus Runtime Services have been re-enabled
echo Enjoy your Virtual Reality experiences and
pause



- Save this as a .bat file instead of .txt

- Run the .bat file

- Press any key to disable the Oculus Service

- Play Pool Nation FX (Do not close the .bat file window)

- Once finished playing Pool Nation FX click on the .bat file window and press any key to restart the Oculus Service

Enjoy!
