The new 1.17 Oculus update should mean we can launch ED from Oculus Home without installing ED in Oculus library. Hopefully it should also allow launching SteamVR from within Oculus Home without all the hacking that's been necessary up until now.

Seems to work pretty well with steam only games. I launched the lab and pavlov directly from oculus home and it just worked. Quiting out (via oculus menu) all also killed steamvr which was nice :)

Oh wow - that sounds superb! Is it beta only at the moment? (not at home so can't check)

Cool finally a long awaited feature :)
But i still wait it to be in the stable branch than in beta, as beta branch has not really worked smoothly on my PC.
