Dammit that title is supposed to say WITHOUT SteamVR! Too late for me.

I feel it`s my duty to explain how I play without SteamVr and even without Open Composite so here`s what I do.

1. First start Steam VR. You may need to start a VR game for Steam VR to show up.
2. Go into the settings.
3. Look up and you`ll see a line that says, "Start SteamVr when a Steam Application starts."

It will be ticked. Untick it.

Quit Steam.

Now go and start GOG NMS with Oculus and it`ll play without Steam.

But you`ll need to tick it back on if you play a SteamVr game.

Thanks, I will try it out.

There already is an experimental out that may address this as well. I posted the changes and there are a couple related to VR including one about a crash for "unsupported" hardware.

If you`re that dumb you might as well throw the game out cos you`ll be stuck with Steam forever because you can`t read longer than the first sentence.
I don't have Steam and I don't want Steam.
Which is why I'm always looking for a way to get into VR without it.

It said how to play without SteamVR.
What do you think of when you, for example, read about how to get games without DRM...?
That step 1 is to install DRM...? Or that it is about how to avoid getting DRM installed?
Just one example... you tell me who's "being dumb".
Hint: It usually is the one flinging insults around.
So let's keep this civil, please.
