Hi Pilots,
I'm confirming that I've flagged this with our team. We'll investigate, and will post updates as they become available.
Thank you for flagging this to us!
I think I may have found a solution. Like others, I noticed that the menu system had curving lines in front of everything. Almost like the VR position is incorrect. But, resetting the VR position didn't work. I think the incorrect positioning is coming from SteamVR. This is what worked for me with an Odyssey+ and the Origin version of Squadrons:
If you put on your headset and there are lines in front of the menu it didn't work. I did find that SteamVR will sometimes crash and you'll need to start over. If it does crash or these steps didn't work quit Squadrons before trying again. However, this specific sequence has worked for me multiple times. I think the key is not starting Squadrons from within VR, but to have SteamVR already started when you toggle VR from within Squadrons. For those not running a WMR headset, just start at step 2.
Unfortunately no amount of any of this is working for me. When I launch the game in normal mode and then toggle VR it crashes. And no matter what else I do the orange lines in the back ground of the opening menu are following me around as I look, and the target reticle is not hooked to the target. I sent @Straatford87 a PM asking if he could make sure the devs are aware of this issue and add it to the known issues list.. frankly I've spent more time trying to troubleshoot the game than play it.

- Start the Mixed Reality Portal (Cliffhouse) but don't direct control to it (Win + Y so you can interact with the desktop)
- Start SteamVR from the Windows desktop
- In the SteamVR home reset your position
- Back in the Windows desktop start Squadrons
- In Squadrons toggle VR

Have the same problem with my Lenovo Explorer WMR set. Havent had a single VR session that doesnt have the targeting issues. Yes, you can workaround it with just flying Instruments Only but then you are seriously disadvantaged in Multiplayer, and somewhat even in single. Will try some of the suggestions here but not holding my breath.
Video showing issue in menu and with reticle.
Could we please get some acknowledgement on this issue from someone at EA/Motive and an addition to the known issues list? I'd like to know I might actually be able to enjoy playing this game at some point in the future.
No response at all, unfortunately. This issue is a pretty big deal imo.
