RobP Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Hi Folks, This is probably a silly question on my part, but can VBS be setup to use OpenXR rather than Steam's OpenVR? When I start VBS, it opens and runs SteamVR right away, so I'm wondering if there is a tweakable setting somewhere? The reason for the question, is that some non steam VR simulators like DCS World are now starting to support OpenXR in preference to OpenVR. I'm guessing they are doing this because OpenXR has faster performance? Any help would be much appreciated. RobP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrp_vh Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 hi, as far as I know SteamVR is required for VBS to work properly, but SteamVR is also an OpenXR runtime! To make OpenXR titles available to you follow this guide https://www.vive.com/au/support/vbs/category_howto/trouble-with-openxr-titles.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed the guide but I don't have the OpenXR option (it only shows SteamVR). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
