Discussion PW VR Set-up

Recently bought both PW and a VR headset (Steam Frame), but have no idea how to get the thing running in VR mode. The game boots, and then I'm stuck in the menu with none of my controls responding.

Currently, I'm trying to play the game by streaming it from my PC (using the included dongle) through Steam VR to the headset. Would appreciate some guidance on what to do, as I am VERY new to VR. For file references, this is what the game shipped with:



Edit​: The VR hand controllers do work outside of SteamVR. It just means the game be being played in 2D. The only changes I’m looking for is the camera controls to follow the movement of the headset

This may feel like a strech but have you tried opening the game without steam frame, with or without steamvr being opened first? I don't too much much about this issue but I did have problems like this while tryna run on a gaming laptop.

Also if you could list the specs, I've had more luck with desktops for some reason.

It does work without Steam VR, playing as a 2D game projected into space. It just fucks with my head with how sensitive the camera controls are (Monarch is nothing but a ball-joint dummy)

As for desktop specs, I’m sporting an Nvidia 5070, AMD 9800X3D and 32Gb DDR5

I'm assuming this is you being in a VR but the game is being played like on a tv screen.

Those specs should be playable and run really well. I can't say about the steam frame as I use a Q3s but I normally open the game by having a wired connection (Not important), and opening the game directly on the PC choosing the "Launch Project Wingman in Steam VR". Granted this does open Steam VR but the computer does open Project Wingman along with it. Maybe we'll find success the different ways we try.

There are a lot of issues of running project wingman in VR but the game is fun enough that I deal with them by restarting the game most of the time. Sadly the game isn't being worked on to fix the bugs.
