Hi. Maybe you need to set -vr in games launch option?
I’ve fallen for that one a few times.
Hi luke
I know I’m going to sound dim here ( I am ). How do I set that option 
Hi,
Right click on game in your Steam library, click on properties and General tab, click on Launch options and type in -vr in the text box.
Cheers 
Thanks Luke
I will give that a go. I tried the -oculus and changing the thing on the beta tab but that didn’t work.
I have Also read pressing F11 also works I will try that too.
Cheers
Hi Luke
Tried both the suggestions but still not getting it to work in the hmd.
Is it because I am running 1.2.75
Aaahhh what am I doing wrong. This thing is frustrating the shite out of me.
PLEASE HELP !!!
Nothing I do works. Is someone out there playing ETS2, if so how. What version of piplay and what steps.
No I don’t think that the Piplay version would prevent it from running in the HMD.
I haven’t tried ETS so I can’t speak from experience, but I’m sure that someone on this forum would have tried it and maybe they can chime in.
I assume that it is a SteamVR game and so Pimax is in Pimax Mode and SteamVR is running?
Or does Pimax need to be in Video Mode without SteamVR running?
Hopefully someone with experience with this game will chime in.
Something you may try is using the Open Local feature of Piplay (main screen) to run the game’s .exe directly. If SteamVR is required it should open automatically.
Good luck.
Hi Luke
Yeah it is a steam game. I run steamvr start the game. The hmd goes to the dark screen with the box that shows an image of what game is starting but there’s no image in the box just the flashing white bars and the game starts on the monitor
I have not tried pimax video mode. I thought that was for just watching films. I will give it a try though.
Cheers Matey
I think if it’s a SteamVR game then Video mode won’t work. Need to be Pimax Mode for SteamVR.
Sounds a bit strange though.
Now this may sound funny, but I mention it because it happened to me a while ago.
I would start a game in SteamVR and like you I would see the loading bars and then nothing but grey.
After scratching my head for a good while, I realised that the game had actually started and it was being displayed behind me. Turning my head 180 degrees allowed me to find it.
May sound silly, but it actually happened and all I had to do was recenter the display.
It’s worth a try.
I do seem to have problems with the centre. When I enter the steam room I’m looking out of the doors to the left
Hi CREDO
I have the steam version of ETS2 so it is up to date.
Can you give me the steps you use to get it to work please
I have been downloading the newest version of this via appnaz. Link for someone interested: Google Classroom
Maybe this way can help as below:
- Right click ETS 2 in Steam and select Property, select Betas and then select “Oculus-Experimantal Oculus support (1.4.0)” from drop-down box.
- Click General - Uncheck the checkbox of “Use Desktop Game Theatre while SteamVR is active”. “Set launch options” - input “-openvr”
Hello everybody
I already got to work most of my games with the Pimax, i.e. Elite Dangerous, Project Cars, Skyrim @VorpX, Witcher @VorpX, WorldOfTanks @VorpX…
But one game still refuses to show any image in the Pimax: Euro Truck Simulator 2
I already tried many suggestions and tutorials I found for the Vive (i.e. “-openvr” and SteamVR DirectMode) and the Rift (i.e. with Oculus Setup & Drivers, ReviveInjector and “-oculus”). With explicit DirectX 64bit and without. The “flat” start options (-“openvr” or “-oculus”) first of course as well.
But nothing worked so far: The HMD screen launches, I also get the blue SteamVR grid, the game image on my TV still shows the Windows10 task bar below, so it seems as if somehow the game knows there’s a HMD attached with SteamVR launched. But apart from this, the game itself only shows up on the TV screen. Nothing but the blue SteamVR grid inside the Pimax itself.
With the Rift CV1 in December, there was no problem at all - VR HMD right from the start as soon as the VR-beta for ETS2 was installed and I added “-oculus” to the start options.
So:
Has anybody got Euro Truck Simulator 2 run on the Pimax so far?
If so, I would be glad for some information and experiences shared
Thx,
elin77
Did you get it working elin77?
I have got as far as seeing the opening ETS menu in the HMD but as soon as I click “drive” ETS crashes.
Spooney, when you launch steamvr and are in the room. Click on steamvr drop down and choose display mirror. When the mirror window opens in your desktop click on that and press Z which will set the front view. Make sure the hmd is pointing forward when you press Z

ETS2 now working. The crash was caused by a route advisor mod.
Hi Dave
Could you tell me the steps to take to get it to work please.
Cheers
Hi Spoony,
Plug in your HMD, run the Pimax software and make sure that software shows the HMD is connected.
Then follow this guide. Remove any mods first just in case, like me, you have a mod that’s incompatible.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a simulation game that puts you in the shoes of a truck driver. Your job is to transport various goods from one location to another across Europe. The game features an extensive map of Europe that is accurate to real-life locations and roads. You can choose to drive through different countries, each with their own unique scenery and landmarks.
