Black screen in WMR HMD, module/mod not work
Hi, I decided to play the mod again after a couple of years and found that the mod does not work on my Windows Mixed Reality HMD.
I disabled all addons, download the binary files. I run the mod through the console command vrmod_start. SteamVR recognizes the VR application, the mod is launched withour errors, but at the same time I see a black image in the HMD.
On desktop screen i see mirror with player model. If the SteamVR desktop display is started, then head tracking works, but not controllers. If I disable the desktop display, then tracking stopped.

I have the same issue with my Reverb G2. Was playing fine a week ago, tried to play today and just get a black screen.

I think I found a solution. I got into the settings of the "WMR for windows" app (which is installed in the Steam library in addition to SteamVR at the same time) and there I found a setting that looks like "Enable rendering optimization, which reduces memory usage on GPU...... bla bla bla..... which may not be compatible with some old games".

I disabled this option and started restarting VR. However, at that moment I saw updates in the Steam library. Among them were SteamVR, WMR for windows, VRChat. I updated and found that these settings are no longer there..... :(

I assume that the developers of "WMR for windows" accidentally deployed the beta feature with rendering optimization for SteamVR, but then revert back.

At now the mod works fine, as before. "WMR for windows" has version 1.2.665
