Roblox takes much longer to open from the site if SteamVR is installed & VR in Roblox is disabled

Roblox takes about 12-14 seconds to open a game from the site after one of the recent weekly updates. I believe it was 629, but may have been 628. There’s also a very obnoxious white screen during this time. This has persisted through Roblox reinstalls and PC restarts.

Before then, games took about 3-5 seconds to launch.

I’ve used Chechos Deltarune RP - Roblox as a game of choice for this video, but it happens in all games.

I’m on a fully up-to-date Windows 10 installation. I’ve attached my player log file in case it’s any use.

Thanks for the report!

I have tracked this down to being an issue when SteamVR is installed. it’s worth noting my Valve Index has all its ports plugged in, but it’s unplugged at the break-off cable.

Removing or disabling the SteamVR runtime fixes this on my machine. I’m currently doing this using GitHub - zachup100/SteamVR-Manager. Hope this helps.
