Trouble getting it to Work - Oculus Quest 2
As the Title says. Im having a little Trouble getting it to run. I did multiple Suggestions i found over the Forum but so far nothing worked for me.

What i have tried so far was (Im using Virtual Desktop btw)

-Launching NaLo, which opened SteamVR and then Crashed

I managed somehow to get that Fixed and then it was

-Launching NaLo, which opened SteamVR, opened NaLo over the VR Menue and then Select my Game. Which never Opened. (I also tried Launching the Game over SteamVR but AFTER launching Nalo but it didnt seem get recognized)

I also tried Launching Nalo. and because it Opened up SteamVR and lets me be in Limbo, Remove my Headset to look at my Desktop and then Pick my Game which again doesnt Launch.

If that matters, in all Instances it only launches up SteamVR. I dont even make it to HOME.
And i have not managed to get NaLo to run once.

My Motionsickness is pretty severe so i hope someone can help me get it to work

Where did you buy the games? Steam or Oculus store?

Every Game is Steam. The only thing i bought from the Oculus Store is Virtual Desktop.

As far as I know they work properly (I played Phasmophobia with Oculus link a few weeks ago and I played many hours to Arizona sunshine also with Oculus and other headsets).

I just added thoose games to my check list. Maybe some game update has changed something. Or maybe the games are being launched in SteamVR mode isntead of Oculus API with Virtual Desktop.

Did you try to use Natural Locomotion with Oculus link or Oculus Airlink? Does it produce this the same result?

Thank you for the report.

I tried using both games just last weekend. So it could be an Update.

- I Launch NaLo.
- Quest2 Switches view to SteamVR but does not Launch into SteamHome
- I open the Menue, Click on NaLo and then Select my Game.
and thats where the game wont Open for me

So i guess its being launched in SteamVR? instead of OculusAPI how do i change that?

To confirm, does this program work with Airlink (Quest 2) if the games are owned on steam? I recently bought the headset and wish to be able to play games like Skyrim VR, No Man's Sky, etc one day but get sick right now.

Sure! It works with Oculus Link + SteamVR games. It is fully detected like an Oculus Rift S class headset.

Skyrim is one of my favorite games. The Skyrim VR announcement coincided with the fact that we had just developed a very immersive locomotion system for a VR game in which we was working on, and we liked it so much that the joystick stopped looking immersive to me. I couldn't imagine playing Skyrim without our locomotion system, So we started the development of the Natural Locomotion driver with the main objective that when Skyrim went on sale, we could use our locomotion system to play it.

Finally we decided to make an UI and the profile system to be able to use it in other games and we put it up for sale with Skyrim support (among other 3 profiles more).

Today we have 400+ profiles (counting all the different headset versions) and dozens of new features and modes...

I Also played No Mans Sky about 200h in VR using Natural Locomotion.

BTW, playing PC VR games with Natural Locomotion in feet mode wireless is amazing.

Thank you for the detailed information! I was ensuring it would work with Airlink (Oculus' native version of Virtual Desktop) but if that's the same communication as Oculus Link, then that's great! I'm going to pick it up anyways in hopes of it one day working if it doesn't already.

After choosing walking dead in the natural locomotion menu, the game launches but a menu appears that tells me to keep pressing the left menu and then press the right and from there I do not exit. I have oculus quest2 and use air link.
