Roomscale and Quest 2 problem
Hey everyone, I've posted this in other corners of the internet, and I've not really gotten any answers. So here goes:

Recently got a new gaming PC. Everything works fine except room scale through SteamVR. I am running a USB C cable from my computer to the device just fine, otherwise. Room scale stuff for oculus games obviously work great.

From everything I've read, the Quest 2 is supposed to automatically tell Steam what the boundaries of the room scale are. My guardian room scale set up is fine, and I can see it okay, but if I go to run Job Simulator on Steam, it gives a warning about "game requires room scale VR and you are currently set to standing". When I install and run it, the Job Simulator is clearly not seeing my room space and is only set to a standing room space. Very Very tiny. I understand job simulator is unique with how it arranges the play space depending on how much room there is, which is why I'm guessing it's not being flagged with any other game i have.

I can kinda jankily make Steam's room scale work by, when I go to Job Simulator to install, it asks if I want to do room scale setup, which is a huge pain in the ass. When I go back into SteamVR though I can see a new green border of the room that wasn't there before, and now Job Simulator has a much bigger play space. The Oculus guardian is still there, but now so is a Steam one. There's basically two room scale guardians running. So I can eventually get it to work this way, but the second I close Steam VR OR if I hit "recalibrate view" from the steam VR menu, it messes up again.

So in short, SteamVR is not getting the "room scale" information from the Quest 2 automatically and I don't see the green room border of room scale like I should. I have to jump through hoops to run Steam's room scale setup, and it will not keep that information when I close out of SteamVR or even reset my view. Obviously this makes a huge difference in Job Simulator where room scale is necessary.

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. Have you set up your Oculus guardian? Knowing that will help me to understand how to help here. If you have not, please do so and let me know if you are experiencing the same issue.

Hi, yes, set up Oculus guardian just fine. I mean, Oculus guardian is annoying because every friggin time you step out of the area, it wants you to re-confirm the room boundaries, but yes. It's all set up fine. It's just clearly SteamVR doesn't see it. I'm even on the SteamVR beta channel to see if it made a difference.

I have very big issue with this game and Quest 2...

I cant get it to align correctly, I sit down before even start headset, I use solid room area (circle around me) and set floor level, and when I start up the game it thinks im crouching

Also need option to move my whole player in game without moving IRL, i cant seem to do that no matter what
