I still can't run the game. Is a fix being worked on? Or does the game require any additional modules somehow?
EDIT: I traced the problem back to a program named "conhost.exe", which appears to vainly attempt to open another program named "OpenVR".
OpenVR, however, is a Steam headset daemon of sorts. Does this mean that the game can only be played when I have a headset, even if I choose not to use it?
