Oculus version only launching legacy

[bonalste]

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help.

I'm trying to get Odyssey to play using my Ocukus Rift CV1. I had it working a couple of weeks ago, no problem, but now all it does it load straight into the Legacy version of the game.

I can get it working using Steam VR, but that means I have to have both Oculus and SteamVR open and sucking up resources, since my CV1 starts the Oculus app when I put the headset on.

If you can help, I'd be extremely grateful.
Thanks.

So I'd like to be able to play Elite Dangerous Odyssey without needing to open SteamVR. I tried just opening the game from Steam but it didn't see my headset in the 3D graphics options and I couldn't find a way to launch it in 3D from the launcher.

Have any of you seen a similar problem? If you know how to resolve it I'd be very grateful. I've reinstalled Oculus, Reinstalled Elite Dangerous, and it still doesn't work. As I say, at the moment the only solution I have is to have both VR apps open. I'd love to find a way to just put on my headset, select "elite dangerous" and it play the up to date Odyssey version like I used to.

Try adding /edo parameter to Elite Dangerous in your Oculus library, I don't remember exactly where that was but it was under the right click menu.
I'm also unsure whenever the launcher actually supports this parameter.

Thanks. It didn't work but I found a workaround. I got Steam to launch ED in VR instead, so it bypassed the SteamVR app. It's messy but it worked.
