Oculus/Meta: force to run via Steam
Some games have the Oculus and the Steam plugin activated. When connected to a Rift(S) or Quest the Oculus plugin has priority and shuts SteamVR completely out.
In some cases there is a relatively easy fix: just rename the Oculus plugin directory.
1. Purchase the game on STEAM.
2. Locate
Steam\steamapps\common\GAMENAME\Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty
Rename the Oculus folder and call it e.g. “deactivate Oculus“
On some systems, after a restart that’s all you need to do. If not, continue with step
