can't set "VR-Direct" mode anymore

[Greyzard]

everything worked fine until the last time i played "Resident Evil 7" with the praydog VR mod, today i opened steamVR but i noticed something was different, i checked the settings and the extended mode was set instead of the usual Vr-Direct, i re-selected it, restarted steamvr but it reverted to extended, what can i do? i swear i didn't change anything, could it be some problems with steamvr, ivry for psvr and/or driver4vr updates?

My sistem:
ASRock B75m R2.0
Intel Core i7-3770k
16 GB DDR3-1600
Nvidia Geforce 1060 6 GB
Windows 10 22H2

The driver will revert the setting to Extended, if it's not able to enable VR-Direct when it starts up. The most likely reason that it's failing to enable VR-Direct is that the monitor driver was reinstalled. Normally when you change driver modes in SteamVR, you will need to restart SteamVR. During the restart, you'll be prompted to allow Steam to install the new monitor driver (Administrator mode), and you'll be prompted to turn the PSVR on again.

If you don't allow Steam to install the monitor driver for VR-Direct, then the next time you start SteamVR, it won't be able to enable VR-Direct, and you'll repeat the sequence.

I didn't get a prompt from steam for the installation of the new monitor driver! O_O
And everything was fine until recently apparently without changing anything

[iVRy]

Clearly something changed, as the diagnostic files you sent show the "Extended" mode monitor driver installed. The software only does that itself when the user makes configuration changes, or reinstalls the software.

Again, I didn't change anything and the problem "magically" appeared, the only possible explanation I can think of is some problems with latest Nvidia and/or ivry upgrade; does that means I'm stuck with a not fully working "self-destructive" paid software? :-(
Is there any other info I can give you?
if i try to open ivry directly from the desktop icon i get stuck in the boot screen that mentions the execution of an installation script but i dont get nothing else on screen no matter how much i wait

[iVRy]

To resolve this manually:
- Set driver mode to "VR-Direct" in iVRy settings
- Exit SteamVR. DO NOT start/restart SteamVR
- Open command prompt and navigate to the 'steamapps\common\iVRy\win64\bin' folder of your Steam installation
- Type: SETMONITOR FORCE
- Start SteamVR normally

[Greyzard]

it's possible that the problem is Steam itself, i get a "missing files privileges" when i try to reinstall iVry! O_O
permission problem apparently solved, but the iVRy problem remains! :-(

[iVRy]

Sounds like a system or Steam issue, which is outside of the support given for the iVRy software. Make sure your installation drive and/or Steam installation is not corrupted.

On a working system, with correctly connected PSVR (make sure nothing is connected to TV port on PSVR box) the manual instructions given should restore VR-Direct mode.

apparently the problem is solved, not sure if i really have to follow all of these steps or just the last one, aniway:

1) uninstalled everything (iVRy, Driver4VR, all devices in devices manager) and reinstalled the softwares, also tried ManualInstall.bat in the iVRy folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\iVRy\bin\win64)
2) fixed permission issues with Steam, following the second last message in this thread:
https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/135514151379073532/
3) with the pc turned off, i unplugged the HDMI cable that goes from the processor unit to the graphic card as suggested in another discussion, booted the system, turned off and then plugged again the HDMI cable.

notice how i tried either with or without the tv hdmi port connected and now, as already did before, i'm able again to switch the PSVR within my ps4 slim and pc with an hdmi switch, i again suspect something went wrong after an NVIDIA, Steam and/or iVRy upgrade
