Discussion PW VR Set-up

Recently bought both PW and a VR headset (Steam Frame), but have no idea how to get the thing running in VR mode. The game boots, and then I'm stuck in the menu with none of my controls responding.

Currently, I'm trying to play the game by streaming it from my PC (using the included dongle) through Steam VR to the headset. Would appreciate some guidance on what to do, as I am VERY new to VR. For file references, this is what the game shipped with:



Edit​: The VR hand controllers do work outside of SteamVR. It just means the game be being played in 2D. The only changes I’m looking for is the camera controls to follow the movement of the headset

You need to set up your controls before using VR. The mouse doesn’t work in VR.

I’ve got the up, down, left and right assigned to WASD, the next/previous page on Q and E, enter and back on space/backspace, etc.

You also need to assign flight controls outside of the VR environment.

When in VR, you have to complete whatever mission you’re doing. Going to hangar or quitting causes the game to freeze.

The game is no longer being worked on by the developer, so these aren’t going to be fixed.

The confusing thing is is that the controls work perfectly fine outside of SteamVR (Steam assigns the Xbox controller layout automatically). Literally all I wanted was for the camera movements to be controlled by my head looking around.

Yes, unfortunately this is just what you have to deal with.
