I'm on a Samsung headset and I'm reading from HP Reverb users that they can longer play in VR either.
Why do we have to wait for a prompt? Why can't EA WRC just see if an OpenXR runtime exists on the system and, if so, add an option in the menu to switch to VR? Or allow us to force via command line
My game ran fine before the update but since then I am unable to run on my Reverb G2. As soon as I select the VR option there is no longer audio though I can navigate the menu screens. As soon as I go to the panoramic screens or am placed in the car the game crashes every time.
I have seen other people post about running the WRC and anticheat exe as administrator, also to set SteamVR as the OpenXR Runtime and I have tried all this. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times but not resolved it.
I also have a Pico 4 and can run the game at very low resolutions on it, but not on the G2.
Can I ask how to resolve this?
Chiming in to say I have the same issue - previously I would just launch the game (no steam vr running) and then the prompt would appear, now there's no prompt no matter what I try
I'm using WMR on a Samsung Odyssey+ HMD
Yes mate that's what I meant as it's not running native only the api through steamvr. Obviously!?! 🤔
Objects on low can gain a few fps whilst not really detracting anything. Turn crowd ultra low. Also there are some cvar tweaks you can add to the engine.ini to reduce load ie. shadow distance/ quality etc.

CV1, and after the patch the game is not recognizing the headset being connected. Never got the VR prompt. I had to change the steam VR settings to use steam openxr instead of Oculus, so at least I can play but the performance is terrible. In game menus are constantly twitching and not rendering correctly, and on stage I am getting way more frame rate drops and stutters than I was before
@Sokittoya76A technically it's still OpenXR, just with a steam layer on top.
Which of course is still a problem because I'm pretty sure that layer adds CPU overhead. I was not able to get a consistent 90fps no matter how low I dropped my resolution
I'm running g2 no probs through steamvr but yeah, I guess they don't have time to code proper openxr native... Pity they blocked uevr from working too but I understand why i.e plugins and potential cheating. Still native openxr support should be a day 1 thing given we paid full price for an unfinished product. The gaul of some of these companies these days...
@ATACMS_00check your launch option for WRC in steam. Make sure you don't have
-vr
in the box. It used to work, now it just crashes
i am having same issue - all was fine until update. have followed all suggested steps including lowering headset res to minimum and STILL steam VR crashes as soon as i click enable vr on the game start up. i have wasted 4 hours of valuable time on this. im so P'd off. its the only game i play and havent been able to play it since patch. EA please give a proper description of how to get around your latest patch disaster. HP REVERB G2

Had the same issue with Reverb G2. Run fine on WMR OpenXR before. No popup after update. After switching OpenXR to SteamVR popup showed, but game crashed. Try lowering SteamVR resolution (globally or just for EA WRC). Start low and find your max. Mine is around 2700px.
Running through SteamVR just causes it to crash for me
And I'd rather not run through an extra layer of software when it was running fine through WMR's OpenXR before the patch
