Menus works with Oculus Rift but not with Quest 3.

Quest 3 shows only the first menu correctly in VR when the game starts. After you enter a cockpit/car, the menus will stop working and they are visible only in the monitor. Image in VR gets sort of freeze but the steering wheel buttons (+mouse/keyboard) still works and I can browse through settings by lifting the headset off and checking from the monitor. This is quite a big of an announce and for me it means that the game is not playable with VR.

I had no trouble at all with Oculus Rift though. There both the gameplay and menus worked like a charm. But with Quest 3 only the gameplay works.

I have bought the game from Steam and played about 70 hours with Rift without issues. I can run the game from SteamVR without issues and it doesn't matter if I use Air Link or Link Cable. Issues with menus are still there. I've configured to use OpenXR as default.

    I found a way to play F1 23 with Quest 3 from Steam. This will require specific steps in certain order. All the menus work without issues and no more 2D freezes etc.

    1. Connect Quest 3 to PC with either Air Link or Link Cable. I've mainly used 3rd party cable as it is longer and provides sufficient charging and for me the Quest 3 occasionally loses Wifi connection so the wired connection is much more stable.
    2. Verify that Steam VR is not yet running (close/exit if it is)
    3. From Oculus menu, open "Steam VR" Application (Steam Link)
    4. This starts the Steam VR on PC, wait for a few seconds to let the program start
    5. From the left touch controller, press the MENU button
    6. You should now see Steam/library
    7. Start F1 23 from the Steam library
    8. If the mouse is out-of-focus, press the right controller MENU button, select the correct desktop view, and click once the F1 23 game to activate focus

    For me, it was crucial not to start the game from Steam Link / Steam VR application which opens by default. But instead once the Steam VR is running, then from the left controller open the menu and start the game.
