Oculus: 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.

How to:

Purchase the game on STEAM.

1.

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 2.

2.

Locate **users\yourusename\AppData\Local\GAMENAME\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor**

In GameUserSettings.ini add in the last line
bEnableOculusSteamVR=True (it might be set to False by default).
