Tetris Effect: Can't get into VR Mode...Please help!

[legaiaflame]

Just bought this and am trying to get into VR mode. I can't figure out how. Supposedly I need Steam VR and I have it open. I put on my Oculus headset, go into the game and I see no option to switch over to VR. Can anyone help me please? Would be much appreciated thanks.

that game is not on Steam. please refer to the developers or the stores websites where you bought it and their respective social media contacts for support.

From what I heard Vive and Valve Index VR Headsets Require SteamVR / OpenVR to work with titles. SteamVR is something you need via Steam.

If you use an Oculus I think they have OculusVR for that.

In any case, I'm not surprised, I heard the port for that game wasn't very good and had many problems.

i don't want to start a fight or something, but steam is really not a place for you to ask for help of games that aren't avalible here since just few people would have those problems, however you can use Epic reddit to ask for help, their reddit is filled with users having those issues and even Sweeney sometimes reply to "help you" https://www.reddit.com/r/EpicGamesPC/
Hope you get help there, good luck!

Also, ironically, the F***Epic subreddit has kind of become the improvised Epic Games support subreddit as well. Your chances of finding help with an Epic Games Store game there are also probably 50/50. The population is much bigger than R/EpicGamesPC though. The "Official" Epic Games subreddit only has about 1K people now, r/F***Epic has about 25K.

Why dont you ask on the EPIC game forums? Oh wait they dont have any.
Well, why dont you ask on their offical forums? Oh wait, they dont have that either.
Well maybe try and get in contact with their Store Support.... Oh wait, dont have any.

Yeah, sweeney himself lurks around that forum but people kick him and users out of it, i actually don't think that's bad since tech support is not the purpose of the forum and it's on the rules

I am betting my ass that Tim Sweeney going to blame steam for having their own vr an exclusive instead blaming the developer that doesnt port the game properly to support different VR hardware.

So i assume Tetris effect was originally supposed to be released Steam?
Even so it should've support other VR hardware instead only SteamVR.

Well The developer wouldnt care much, they got the money already from Epic regardless it sells or not

Its not an exclusive, Epic could add it to their client for free if they wanted since SteamVR is open source and not tied to Steam.

Epic Games is just lazy.

The game is neither developer nor published by Epic Games. They are only selling it. It has nothing to do with Epic being lazy. They simply paid for the exclusivity.

Well, since everyone came here just to be an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, let me give you the answer you need.

-First, you need Steam and Steam VR installed, just download steam if you don't have it and once it detects your headset connected it'll prompt you to install VR, so just go along with that, look up a tutorial if you need.

-Once it's up and running, simply go to your library in the epic store and click the cog near the "launch" button of Tetris Effect, and you'll get an option to "Launch on Steam VR"

That should be all, good luck, the game is awesome!

They don't have OpenVR in their client for Vive / Index Users, despite the game in question using SteamVR / OpenVR, therefore a user would have to get OpenVR / SteamVR from Steam in order to play the game with their Vive / Index headset.

Epic's lack of having an option for their own users to get OpenVR through them is why I call them lazy.

Who'd have thought that it's so easy. Thank you Jitsu for being the only person with an actual answer to the question
