Observer Does Not Starts in the Steam-VR-Modus

Observer does not have many problems at all. However, some PC players complain about the start in VR mode. The developers are still working on this problem. However, we have already found a workaround that should work for each player. Start Steam Observer in VR mode, crash or the performance is bad. A patch is to direct the whole thing. Now you can disconnect your connected VR device. Then restart Observer.

If Observer does not start at all via Steam, you can go into the game folder and open theObserverSub.exe file there. But then the steam overlay does not work anymore. If there are problems with the keyboard and the assignments, you can connect a gamepad or reboot the game.
