VR Issue with 3.07 patch 2

[socktigs]

With this patch it now uses OpenXR as the first in line instead of Oculus.  OpenXR fails each time (just a pause and then the window closes and game does not start).  I have to say "NO" to OpenXR and then say "yes" to Oculus.  Oculus works as it always has.

Meta Quest 3 with latest 2.9 software.

Questions:
Do I have anyway to make Oculus first choice?
Any insight why OpenXR and Quest 3 combo failing?  (Meta Link Software has always had OpenXR set as default, but prior game version always went Oculus first)

Quest 2 here..

Just the opposite..I  tried to close openxr and use oculus but it didn't open AH in vr.

I had to use the openxr link to get into ah vr ..

Same with me. Oculus mode does not work for my quest 3.

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

Download it into the ah32 folder inside your Aces High III folder (next to aceshigh11.exe) and double-click it to start the game.

socktigs: Yes, Oculus is the first question again in this version. Answer Yes to it.
Eagler, Wiley: Patch 2 talked to the Meta OpenXR software before the Oculus question, and that is the likely reason Oculus would not open in your headsets. This version does not touch OpenXR unless you answer No to Oculus and Steam. Please tell me whether Oculus works for you now.

If OpenXR cannot start, this version drops back to the monitor with a message instead of closing the game. socktigs, for the OpenXR close in Patch 2: if there is a .dmp file in the temp folder inside your Aces High III folder from that time, please zip the newest one and send it to me.

Wiley, the tilted, fish-eye view in OpenVR mode is separate, and I will look into it. Please use Oculus for now.

Hello HiTech,

The test vr version has oculus first and works like before.

Attached is the dump file where I am trying to run with OpenXR.

I do not see a message when it fails back to desktop.

[Wiley]

That worked.  Operation appears normal in Oculus mode.  Thanks very much for that.  I'll poke and prod at OpenVR mode in a bit, see if resetting the views changes anything etc.

Thanks again!  Was worried about missing FSO.

As far as the weirdness in my views in OpenVR mode, I would say set it aside for now.  I have a theory about my end, might take me a bit of time to confirm/deny it.  I think it's a config issue for something I installed a long time ago, I wouldn't waste time on it at the moment for me.

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

Put it in the ah32 folder inside your Aces High III folder and double-click it.

socktigs, thanks for the dump. It shows the OpenXR close is a crash inside Meta's own 32-bit OpenXR software, on one of its own threads, so nothing in our code can stop it. Test 3 and Patch 3 no longer ask about OpenXR. They ask Oculus first, then Steam (OpenVR), the same as before Patch 2.

Eagler, Wiley: please try test 3, answer Yes to Oculus, and tell me whether it opens in your headset. If it does not, check that Unknown Sources is on in the Meta Horizon Link app on your PC (Settings, General), and that Link is running in the headset before you start the game.
