Whenever I launch a ROBLOX game, even an empty baseplate with no corescript overrides, ROBLOX launches in desktop mode and not in VR. How can I run it in VR with my HTC Vive? ROBLOX only provides instructions for the Rift.
Edit: See later posts for more info on the issue.
I just plug mine in and it launches in VR automatically.
Make sure Steam is open and SteamVR is turned on.
SteamVR was enabled. I don’t know why, but for some reason I was having trouble running non-steam games in general. When I added another game manually to steam and launched it from there, that fixed the issue somehow, and VR mode opens properly now.
Edit: Nevermind – that’s not a guaranteed fix. Problem happened again. 90% of the time this headset on my head is dealing with connectivity issues…
It works perfectly fine for me.
Including using the Vive controllers to move around.
I stand corrected ;).
We’ve had some issues with SteamVR updates, if I remember correctly. I’m not sure on the status for a fix for this one, I’ll have to check into it.
Potentially related to performance. I enabled warnings, and whenever I boot up a ROBLOX game I get a warning saying the game is performing poorly even though that’s not the case if I actually play it. What I think may be happening is ROBLOX uses a lot of resources in an instant when loading and the Vive assumes it will always have performance issues, and prevents it from running in VR.
