Not showing up in VR category in Steam, can't launch in VR?

Recommended Posts

EDIT: resolved below

Hi,

I just bought DiRT Rally 2 Deluxe edition on the 50% sale.
I installed it and launched it after a reboot.
It warned about launching into a VR headset, which is odd because that usually means it's not a VR title..
I said ok, but it failed.
I tried to launch it within the headset using theater mode, that failed too.

I checked my VR category, it's not there, it's in Games. In comparison, Project Cars 1 and 2 shows in both categories.
I checked it in my library and on the store page, it definitely says VR Supported, HTC Vive which I have.

Check the screenshot, it's in my favourites added from Games, but not in VR category. Did I get the wrong version pushed by Steam? I'm verifying the GCFs now so it shows 0% on the game entry in the left menu.

How do I get this game to launch in VR?

 

**SOLUTION** Have SteamVR off. Ensure the game's properties in Steam show the ticked box for theater mode. Start the game. It will not put you in VR until the race starts, just be patient. It's super annoying. I'm giving this a week and hoping I like it before next weekend is over. It's been a bad first impression just trying to start the game lol. 

After this, it was still laggy as hell. I used the guide in the VR thread for settings and it resolved that, but made the game look a bit dull. I'll experiment more soon and work out the best settings for my rig. It's a fun game, I enjoyed the first career race which I did so poorly in. A little more polish on the VR interface would go a long way though.
