Running on the Oculus Quest 2
Hi I am trying to run this through a link cable but Steam VR does not seem to recognise my Oculus Guardian space. I have my Quests VR room space scale set to about 3m x 3m, but when I try and run this game it asks me to run Steam VR room Setup and doesnt seem to recognise the room scale guardian field at all.

When running the Steam Room setup it does not seem to like the Quest at all. Its wanting me to setup everything WITHOUT the headset on to see the VR space. So I have to carry the damn thing around trying to follow its instructions, with the headset off.

So I am trying to carry my headset the the four corners of the room like it asked me to, I push the triggers when I get there like it asked me to, but nothing every happens, no dots appear, no likes appear, nothing appears, its just a blank slate. No matter how I carry or push or how many times I repeat the process, there seems to be no way to get a room space set up that Steam VR or L.A.Noire will recognise as functional, despite the massive space I have.

Any help before I refund this?

Yeah I still cant fix it. It just does not seem to recognise the Oculus room space. It tries to make you set it up through Steam VR and that just does not work with the Quest 2. It doesnt have the base stations or anything else the VR is looking for. So basically locked out by headset. I know they do not specifically list the Quest 2 as compat, but when plugged in through the link its essentially a Rift S, so I wonder if it works the Rift S at all either or its just Oculus hostile.

I cannot run the game on Quest 2 via VD. I receive error popup window: "Oculus initialization error. Error code: (-1)."

game only supports rift and rifts and vive and valve. the quests arnt advanced nor powerful enough to run the game on its own. i hate quest players but its hilarious how you think a portable vr can handle big vr games for pc

I think you are the one who is misunderstanding. I am not trying to run this stuff on the Quest hardware. That............that isn't how it works.

The Quest 2 can be plugged into a PC to function as a PC headset, its one of its selling points. Why would you think I was trying to run it using the Quest 2's onboard hardware?

The Quest 2 functions like a Rift S when hooked up to the PC via a link cable, it uses my PC hardware. All the other games that I have that support the Rift S function perfectly (to be clear here, again, when you are using a link cable, it is not running using the Quest 2 hardware, you are running using your PC hardware) so I tried this game expecting it would work too. The problem is not that it is trying to run using the Quests on board hardware (see above where the link cable uses your PC hardware), the problem is with getting this specific game to recognise the guardian field for room space.

What exasperates me and worries me is that, with your already stated hatred for Quest users, you are just jumping into any thread where anyone mentions trying to run a Quest through Oculus Link to play games from their PC and just going "Hur hur, stupid Quest user not understanding PC games cannot run on Quest hardware. So stupid, so uninformed. Hur. Quest hardware no support PC gaming. Hur."

At least learn a little about Oculus Link before you derp up a conversation.

So, that moron's comments aside, were you able to get this running on Quest2? I'd like to know if its worth dropping a few bucks. I loved the original. :wilbur:

I still couldnt get it to work. I think what it needs is a patch to make it detect the Quest's room space, but I cant see that happening this late in the game.

Too fat on shark cards to patch the game up to date.

Iv'e got it working wonderfully via link. Have Link mode enabled with the headset running. Open the game via Rockstar launcher. You have to have unknown sources enabled.

Just bought as on sale. Was worried not work Quest2 via VirtualDesktop over wifi yet just got it working okay. Had to install Rockstar launcher plus login and have that running before launch game from Steam via Virtualdesktop on Quest2. Only problem I couldn't select Standup option as told click thumbstick but not work. I chose seated then once in game recalibrated in option to use standing and to my surpise it then worked.

Hi Kevin!
Are you experiencing any lags playing this on quest 2 with vritual desktop?
For me it's like the in-game camera is a second behind my head movement. Other games work fine.

No lag as far as I can see. Do get some graphic aretacts slight when open menu once back in game it's gone. Lag would depend I imagine on your wifi setup and maybe GPU you have. I have RTX2080 & only my Q2 is connected to my router on 5ghz.
