Stop game from running in VR???

[akaSurreal]

I can't find any way for this game to not default to always trying to run on the Rift. The VR version is obviously not done and so broken, and I really don't want to play it that way anyway. How can I disable it trying to launch Oculus so I can actually play the game?

Unplug the Rift?

Sadly may be the only option heh

TRON RUN/r worked okay for me before I installed my HTC Vive. Now when I start TRON RUN/r, it launches Steam VR and the display is all messed up. I'd also like to learn how to run this outside Steam VR again.

While Unreal Engine 4 titles automatically detect and use a VR device by default, at the same time they don't provide any really easy way for the end-user to change that behavior. It's left up to game developers to provide a method to turn stereo output (aka VR) off or on, via an in-game menu option.

The only thing I could find (and I have no idea if it will help), is to add this (regardless of headset brand) to the Engine.ini file via a text editor:

[Oculus.Settings]
bOverrideStereo=True

I mention how to find the Engine.ini file for TRON RUN/r in the guide I did for the game (the Tweaks section):

I couldn't get LDSO's suggestion to work, same behaviour.

Any ideas out there? Same issue - After installing my new HTC Vive, the game launches in vr mode.

Hello everyone, this still happens. Did anyone find a fix for this problem?

OK, I may have found another solution for this. But since I don't have a VR headset, I don't know if it will work. You'll have to try it and let me know.

• Right-click TRON RUN/r in your Steam Library game list, then click "Properties" on the context menu.
  
• With the "General" tab selected on the new window, look for the "Set Launch Options" button and click on it.
  
• Copy and paste the following text into the launch options text box:
  

  -nohmd

• Click OK twice, to close both the launch options and game properties windows.

Now try running the game, and see if your VR headset is turned off.

Thanks LDSO. I can confirm "-nohmd" does appear to work bypassing VR mode. I will be trying this command on a couple other games too. Where'd you find this info? I have been looking for this. Thanks again.

Confirmed: LDSO's suggestion actually solved the problem.

Man, you rock! Thanks a lot for your contribution!

Thanks, that option helped me out! BTW my VR headset has not been connected, but game somehow found it.

Spent ages and found this under properties set this as the launch option -nohmd
