VR has stopped working since last update

VR has stopped working on my pc since the last update, previously worked flawlessly with no tweaks needed, just loaded Oculus, then into Steam and run AMS2 in Oculus VR mode, I run it now and get a white screen that shows loading, in Steam VR and the game loads up into flat screen. I have reinstalled Steam and AMS2 to no avail. Anyone know what might have gone wrong and how to fix it? Grateful for any assistance. I have googled and You Tubed and found nothing that has helped!

Can't speak to running it in Oculus mode, but if you'd like to do a test then download the Oculus bypass Detector, put it in the root folder of AMS2, then start in SteamVR mode. You can always delete the file to go back to running in Oculus mode. Good luck!

Thanks very much for your response, I’ll try that later and let you know the result.

 

I copied the new openvr.dll file to the x64 folder and renamed the exsting one. Then I downloaded open composite. I switched to open composite and when launching game in Steam VR mode got a crash report as below. Any ideas what I am doing wrong, it's so frustrating as it has always worked perfectly until I have tried to run the game after the update?

 

If using OpenComposite you need to use the Oculus Bypass Detector. Did you do both files? The openvr_api.dll and the LibOVRRT64_1.dll must both be installed.

Don't use the OpenComposite launcher. Install the OpenComposite 64-bit openvr_api.dll into the X64 directory (replacing current one) and install the LibOVRRT64_1.dll into the games root folder. If you're using the Oculus Link software be sure to set the default OpenXR runtime to SteamVR.

Once you have that working, you can install OpenXR Toolkit if you choose to. It's completely optional.

 

Hi
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I have both files installed into the correct directories and it still will not launch into VR mode. I can’t understand what has happened to stop it working. I never had any files installed previously and it just worked. Looks like I’m going to have to stick to AC and Iracing, until my subscription runs out, they are both still working fine. I’ve also found that Steam Link has stopped working too. Thanks again for your help.

 

I have had this issue before

ymmv but fixed it for me was to close steam and meta app then start all over again

good luck

 

I did a quick check after reading the first post, and AMS2 is working as normal for me in Oculus mode, so it may not be the update causing your problems

 

I always use the oculus VR mode. Works fine for me. No need for steamVR mode.

 

Launching in steamvr is only if you want to experiment with openxr toolkit that has lot of value tbh

especially with the recent mod I mentioned few posts above

 

I have tried Oculus mode, just launches flat screen, thanks for your response, I’m sure I’ll find a solution eventually.

 

if i put that libovr file in the stock folder it will only launch in flatscreen ,but if i put it in the 64 folder it works , but i cannot see the open xr toolkit

 

That's because without the Lib file in the root folder you are not using it and AMS2 is opening in Oculus mode, which it does by default. The only way to not have AMS2 open in Oculus mode is to use the Lib file in the root folder. The Lib file bypasses Oculus mode and is used in conjunction with the OpenComposite DLL, which is the only way you can use OpenXR Toolkit.

 

thanks dry hmm for some reason when i put it in the root folder it opens only in flat screen , tried using steam and occulus mod

 

You also need to put the OpenComposite DLL in the X64 folder (replacing original openvr_api.dll) and set OpenXR runtime in the Oculus Link software to SteamVR. After that you should be able to run OpenXR Toolkit.

The Oculus Bypass Detector DLL works in conjunction with the OpenComposite DLL.

 

yes done that got that file from your earlier post ,

 

I also encountered the same problem with PSVR2 and haven't found a solution yet. What should I do? You can check out this post for more details：
No VR Display in AMS2 with PSVR2 (RTX 4070Ti, Driver 572.70) - Sound Only

 

I have now tried to launch it with my Pico 4, using Steam VR and Virtual Desktop. It now just says Launching on Steam page. So, still no further to finding what is causing the issue.

 

Be sure to replace the openvr_api.dll with the original one if you had replaced it with the OpenComposite dll before. If you don't have the original, delete the current one and run Steam file verify to replace it.

 

Thanks for the advice Dryheat94, it is appreciated that there are willing people out there to help people like me. I have reinstalled AMS2 again and checked integrity of files and it shows 100%. I tried running the AMS2AVX.exe file from the root and this launched in flatscreen, I tried running it in windows 7 compatbility, flat screen. I also saw one post that advised to change windows username if it was not all a-z characters!
