Meta VR Issues

[JimmyD3]

Anyone having problems getting VR (Meta) to run?

[socktigs]

Yes it wont start for me either.  Dont see the VR controls in the game either.

Yup.  When I launch with my quest 3 the game doesn't open in the headset in Oculus mode.  If I use OpenVR mode, the view is wonky, like I'm looking up at about a 20 degree angle and the world does not move right.  It's like it's fish eyed.

I added it under bug report. 

To get by it I say no to OpenXR.... it then asks if I want to use Oculus and I click yes and it works as before.

[mph]

I don't seem to have the option just " do you want to use oculus"

no open XR option

I do not use STEAm
do i need to get steam account?

The open runtime xr is greyed out and "Set meta horizon as active " cannot be changed in the meta horizon link software

Yeah Oculus used to be the first option on sign in.   It isn't now. Just click on NO until you get to the Oculus version.

Thanks for the reports, they pinned it down.

Patch 2 changed the VR start-up questions so OpenXR came first, and the game talked to the Meta OpenXR software before you could answer the Oculus question. That is the likely reason Oculus stopped opening in the headset for some of you.

Please try this test version:
https://dload.hitechcreations.com/aceshigh11vrtest.exe

1. Download it into the ah32 folder inside your Aces High III folder (the same folder as aceshigh11.exe).
2. Double-click aceshigh11vrtest.exe to start the game.
3. The questions now come in the old order: Oculus first, then Steam (OpenVR), then OpenXR last. A Quest player answers Yes to Oculus.

If OpenXR cannot start, it now drops back to your monitor with a message instead of closing the game.

You do not need Steam for a Quest. The Oculus choice only uses the Meta Horizon Link software. Not getting the OpenXR question is fine.

Please post here whether Oculus opens in your headset and whether your VR controllers show. The fix goes into Patch 3.

I still get the same thing, with no VR, just the same original yes/no button.

[mph]

tried the fix to no avail
I guess ill wait for the patch

New test version (test 3):
https://dload.hitechcreations.com/aceshigh11vrtest3.exe

Same steps as before: put it in the ah32 folder inside your Aces High III folder and double-click it.

Test 3 no longer asks about OpenXR. It asks Oculus first, then Steam (OpenVR), the same as before Patch 2. A crash dump from one of you showed that the OpenXR choice crashes inside Meta's own 32-bit OpenXR software, so OpenXR stays off until that is fixed.

JimmyD3, mph: if Oculus still does not open in your headset:
1. In the Meta Horizon Link app on your PC, check that Unknown Sources is on (Settings, General). Aces High from our installer or Steam needs it.
2. Start Link in the headset before you start the game.
3. Post exactly which questions you get, what you answer, and whether you started aceshigh11vrtest3.exe or your usual shortcut.
