PE not open/available on game close

Hi there,
If I fire up PE and go play a game launched from there and after I’m done, come out of the game, PE has closed down so If I want to play another game I have to remove my headset and fire up PE again.

Why doesn’t PE fire up again and be available after exiting a game?
I thought it may have been blocked from starting up because I had it set to start in admin mode, but turning that off did not resolve anything.

Cheers

Are you closing steamVR after leaving your game? PE won’t come back until steamvr is closed. What I do is use the SteamVR “exit VR” option to close my games. That way i get put back into PE right away.

Yes, but this assumes you have VR controllers to bring up the menu to exit. Not everyone does. It’s been suggested to use Voice Attack to kill the SteamVR exe, not sure if that actually works :wink:

Also a good suggestion as I use Voice Attack in ED.
Nice one.

@KinkyJalepeno Is this issue resolved?

Side-note: We’ve been working on keeping PE automatically “replace” the Steam VR dashboard, so people won’t keep jumping back to Steam VR when closing down their game. It is not ready yet though.

Nice…! Killer feature! :wink:

SteamVR dashboard would still be available when actually “in” SteamVR, right? For accessing OpenVR Advanced Settings, fpsVR settings and so on… :slight_smile:

Hi @arminelec
Insofar that everything is working my side now I’ve moved install, yes all good.
Thanks

Yes, the idea is to make PE show up instead of Steam VR, after user exits a game launched via PE.
