We’ve Added SteamVR or OculusVR Mode Startup Options.



Hey [STEAM] Hellsweepers!

We have been receiving feedback regarding tracking issues when it booting up Hellsweeper VR: some players are unable to see or move their hands upon startup.

This issue may occur because, upon launching Hellsweeper VR, the game auto-selects either Oculus Runtime or OpenVR Runtime depending on what is enabled. If the player has been using other VR apps, there's a possibility that the game may select the wrong Runtime, causing the game not to track at all.

Because of this, we have added two options on startup that players can select to force the game to run on a preferred Runtime.



Both modes handle the rendering of the game and the tracking of your VR headset.

Which Runtime should you select?


[h2]Oculus VR Mode[/h2]

Oculus VR favors Oculus devices such as Rift and Quest. This might be the preferred option if you are running on an Oculus device.

[h2]Steam VR Mode[/h2]

Steam VR handles a variety of hardware, such as HTC, Vive Index, and Windows Mixed Reality. This is the preferred option if you are not running on Oculus hardware.

Let us know if these options have improved your experience in the game!
