VRInitError_Init_PathRegistryNotFound
Please could someone help me?

I'm unable to even start the game.
I'm using my Oculus Quest with link cable. My other VR games work fine.
This is the full dialogue which pops up:

'SteamVR failed initialization with error code VRInitError_Init_PathRegistryNotFound: "Installation path could not be located (110)"
Please verify SteamVR is properly installed and try again.'

I've just run my Project Cars 2 in VR and all is fine.

Should I just uninstall and reinstall the game?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Reinstalling the game now.
Fingers crossed.

Okay, buddy. I got it to work. I did two things, but I suspect it's the second thing that helped...

1. I installed the "SteamVR" app available through the Steam store for free.

2. In the Oculus desktop app, I went to Library and clicked the + button to manually add a game. Oculus didn't auto detect the game so I had to browse my C drive and find it, but it wasn't too difficult.

After this, it worked first time by selecting it through my Oculus home in the headset.

Thanks for the info mate.
When I try again later, and it still gives me problems, I'll give it a try by what you said.
Cheers.

Really pleased you got it working!

I tried the second option.
I created the link in Oculus home and it started to load up, and then it's gone. Everytime.
I reinstalled the game and in Steamvr it still says it can't find the path.

Same Problem ...

20 hours after launch and I still can't get the game to run.
I've been in contact with support, but I've yet to hear anything.
It's great so many people are loving the game, just so much frustration here.
Again, my other VR games work fine.

Fixed it be reinstalling SteamVR.

I did it the hard way, went into the Steam folder, deleted everything except for the steamapps folder and steam.exe, started steam.exe (which resulted in Steam reinstalling itself) and then installed SteamVR from the store.

SteamVR is required. The game won't run without it. There is no native support for Oculus headsets.
