How do I get this to launch in SteamVR?

Using WMR if that helps

Run the .exe and it should simply work. Can you describe what (doesn't) happen?

Some people are a bit confused by the entry world I stupidly made grey on all sides. If that is your issue: turn around! The interface might be behind you : ).

When I run the game, it launches into the grey on all sides, but on my headset it stays in SteamVR home. Can't figure out how to force it to run in VR mode. I've seen for other games where it requires a shortcut and a variation of -vr or -openvr added to the target field but those don't seem to work here. Any suggestions?

hmmm APOTU is SteamVR-only, so it’s not like there’s modes to enable. No idea why steam wouldn’t pick it up. You could try running APOTU while SteamVR isn’t running, that should trigger it. Or (if that’s how you’re running it now)  first startup SteamVR, then APOTU. 

If you move the headset around by hand, does something show up on screen? Does the controller appear if you hold it up in front of the HMD? Been a while since I tested my PC with WMR, maybe update the SteamVR WinMR driver?

Sorry I’m not much help I’m afraid : (
