help! How can I stop steamvr?

[sinkarma]

Edit: a friend found a solution. ( https://github.com/W-Drew/SteamVR-Toggle )

Okay so I recently got some vr stuff in the form of my phone, goggles and trinusVR. not great but okay for things like VRCHAT
NOT ELITE

As much as I want to enjoy elite in VR I CAN'T PLAY ELITE VR ON MY SETUP.

Now I keep running in an issue where steamVR auto starts and shuts down elite whenever I start elite.

I tried looking for a solution and people mentioned going to settings>developer>uncheck start steamvr.

I tried looking for this and found nothing. All the settings people recommend to set/uncheck/what-what do not exist

Others say go into elite dangerous's launcher and uncheck launch steamvr there. This does not exist either.

No I do not have the steam version of elite dangerous.
I have the stand alone version of elite dangerous.
I cannot access the in game settings screen as steamvr keeps closing the game the moment it starts.
TrinusVR has no settings either. TrinusVR doesn't even launch. Uninstalling TrinusVR does nothing for this situation.
Even with trinusVR OFF and my phone OFF and not connected this still happens.

Right now I cannot play elite.

The only workaround I can find is to uninstall steamvr when I want to play elite. WHICH IS NOT A SOLUTION.

I have a feeling I am doing something stupid and something obvious I am missing so if I am please do say.

Peculiar. Does SteamVR run in background maybe? Something in the general tab? Maybe the "machine" is logged in with VR credentials in FD account.

No, no, and no.
Also steamvr auto launches even when steam is closed

I use EDProfiler to select what version of Elite o want to load, I've got two profiles set up, Pancake Mode and VR.

I am not downloading a virus to stop elite going into vr

But Steam is active in background. Tried without?

It isn't a virus, it's by a well known and well respected member of the community. It's likely been flagged because it lacks the proper certificates. Also, you are trusting Russian made antivirus, that's like letting a serial killer look after your kids.

You could make another shortcut to the launcher and try this:

It works well for me!

I get the same warning but there is no problem with the program, you can also change the colour of the hud.

That seems worth a try.

Does it lauch normally without the 'new' switch (/novr)?
Did you notice the space prior to the /novr ?

What I have screenshotted is direct from my own PC - and used daily... (otherwise I wouldn't have suggested such)
(Although it is to stop both steamVR and Oculus Launching for me)

Okay
A friend from my group found a solution

You may just have a different path to the game folder.

Maybe because you didn't leave a space between the /switch and the ", it must have a space.

I see you have it sorted anyway, but just for future reference if you are adding switches you must leave a space between the switch and the last character of he command line.

Don't use Single-quotes inside a string which is embedded in Double-quotes.
Remove the single quotes (this are rules for data-strings you must obey due to the operating system and how it chews the data you provide in the shortcut).
E:\Games\Frontier\EDLaunch2\EDLaunch.exe /novr
