Launch in VR Mode?

Could anyone be so kind and explain to me what the difference is between the normal shortcut and launching it in VR Mode?

The display settings seem to be the same, it also doesn't see my Oculus setup with 0.8, so i guess it's just a secondary display file somewhere.

If it is that, is there a launch option / parameter for that, so i can setup my VR Game Manager accordingly? That would be great.

Is this a steam account as I don't have this option. BTW this thread may be better to be moved to the VR forum, Just report your own thread to a kind mod.

0.8 SDK is not supported, you'll need to go down to 0.5 or 0.6 for it to work.

Then run ED as normal, and go into the options, turn on Rift in the 3d settings under display, and set it to the secondary monitor (only extended mode, which was removed in 0.7+, is supported) and you'll be good.

I'm well aware of that Slopey, and that's how it's been running for the last couple of weeks. But now that they added a "Launch in VR Mode" option in Steam, i'd like to know what it is.

There's a reason it has been added, and it is probably something extremely useful, like an additional Display Settings file, so you don't have to switch around all the time.

Funny how it's not supported but it runs perfect for me with Win 10 SDK 8.0 on a GTX 970, loving this direct mode support now :)

Only issue is it keeps starting up in window mode, go and change to fullscreen and BAM all fine.
