Exactly, I'm unaware of any way to switch out of VR without exiting the game and restarting.
edit - I seem to remember MalicVR saying there are some VR games where it's been coded to allow it.

VR still feels very experimental when it comes to switching around displays, I've not seen any games that do this for any reason but it always seems like a faf on titles that have had additional VR added post release (flight sims etc)
"duo the diner" has one player using the montior while the other uses VR but the graphics are very basic as they'd need to be!
I just said you can change it in game. Which you can. I didn't say anything about it not requiring a restart. We do not need a different client for VR play, was the main gist.
Really? On the day the epic Patch 3 fallout
i've must have been misled by this statement of yours then:
that's not a functionality of the headset then, and the follow up is just wrong.
@Stephen Benedetti - Good to be appraised of the start of Dev Diaries - I'll look forward to reading the first in August, will that be toward the end of the month?
I don't wish to appear negative, truly, but the game doesn't seem to be in a good position following the FC introduction and following patches... I only make this observation as even in my normally laid-back gaming - two components are negatively affected, trading - both supply and demand for reasonable profit items have plummeted, and of course my least favourite - but lucrative - mining, hotspots aren't, mineral distribution is now even more haphazard then previously...
Odyssey is due to appear in around 6 months, given the current state of the game - and the fact it is degenerating with each 'fix' - the enthusiasm for purchasing additional content, certainly in my case, is waning rapidly. Are there plans to restore the game to some semblance of the 'normal' we had previously or is this the 'new standard' we are to expect?

The fantastic community. The tradition.It's the Forums "sweet and sour" experience for sure!
You think Odyssey will release around February? What makes you think this?
Because I pay attention to what is being told us, maybe?
I think currently they plan to release in early January - if you listened to the June David Braben interview he does mention it...
I don't have the toxic cynicism prevelant here to doubt his word, you may think differently if you wish
You don't know anything about how we feel and you don't even bother knowing it, don't speak for everyone.
" We can't wait "
(really? goodness!!! ,tell us more .) Yes ,they can´t wait ᵗᵒ ˢʰᵒʷ ᵘˢ ⁿᵉʷ ᵈᵉˢᶦᵍⁿˢ ᵒᶠ ˢᵘᶦᵗˢ ᵃⁿᵈ ʷᵉᵃᵖᵒⁿˢ ᶦⁿ ᵗʰᵉ ˢᵗᵒʳᵉ ,we already know your new priorities.If someone at Frontier actually said the words “early January” then I missed it and stand corrected. The only thing I ever recall seeing was “early 2021,” which in my mind translates from FDev speak into late May or early June.Because I pay attention to what is being told us, maybe?

Thanks for the heads up. I look forward to seeing whats in the the update.
Essentially he stated "A few days late - but not over Christmas" which I supposed could translate to 3 months late at a stretch
See, my thinking is that Frontier wouldn't consider anything "late" until after the exact midpoint of 2021. Anything before the second half of the year counts as "early."Essentially he stated "A few days late - but not over Christmas" which I supposed could translate to 3 months late at a stretch
Fair enough...
Then a few extra weeks aren't going to hurt.
Is that a violin I can here?
Apparently they did a code rewrite, it doesn't make much sense otherwise. "VR will remain compatible with base game and horizons. Odyssey won't be VR compatible at launch". So yeah I don't think they would waste time ripping off VR support from the client, they simply didn't implement it in rewritten engine. Because FDev. PS: It's Lean waterfall aka peeing in the wind ;-)
Yeah, and Destiny 2 manages that flawlessly in glorious multiplayer too.
You're both wrong gentlemen, X: Rebirth VR did a very elegant solution to the problem. You take of the hmd, it senses that (proximity sensor) and switches whole rendering and controls and whatnot to 2d / monitor.
