The strange thing is I don’t have a VR headset compatible with Roblox usually, and yet this is still going on. I use SteamVR for other purposes, but I cannot use my headset with Roblox. This bug hasn’t forcefully closed Roblox for me, but it has just opened up when I start playing.

to combat this issue, I’ve had to let roblox open steamvr (even though I had it uninstalled) and open steamvr’s file location from task manager, then deleted the entire steamvr file, which stopped it

My game keeps switching to vr mode, even though I have my vr unplugged

SteamVR has been opening for me, but it only prompts me that it cant connect to my headset. Nothing else happens.
When closing out of the client, I get an error message.

After a recent client update, I can confirm this issue has been fixed (at least on my end). Major thanks to everyone involved for the speedy response!

Yesterday, this bug was happening to me too; Even though my Meta Quest 2 isn’t probably even on, and isn’t connected to my computer, starting the Roblox client would take way longer because it would start up SteamVR before it would open. (Thankfully, it didn’t start in VR mode.)
I hope there is an update waiting for the client on my computer.

I can unfortunately confirm this is still continuing to happen on my end.
Even after playing earlier today, this issue suddenly and randomly pops up after a quick ‘update’ from ROBLOX, so I’m real glad that was pushed out.
After closing out all relevant tasks and programs (Steam, SteamVR, OVR, Virtual Desktop) and completely reinstalling ROBLOX Player, this issue is still happening.
HIGHLY disappointed with this, but what else is new with this company.

After this being fixed yesterday, another client update was sent out today (December 9th) that proceeded to unfix it. This is now still an issue.

This is still happening with me as well, but I don’t exactly know if there’s anything going on with my client.
I haven’t even gotten an update for Roblox on this, so I’m unsure if it was properly published.
This is disappointing but still hasn’t caused many issues for me personally, but I’m still waiting on a proper patch for this.

i’m going to assume that all of you have ropro enabled. try disabling it and joining a game, see if that works. it’s probably not roblox, it’s ropro itself.

I’ve never even heard of Ropro and I’m having this issue.
It was fixed last night, but its started happening again to me as well.

having this issue as well, steamvr also opens up whenever I get teleported to a different place (not re-opening the roblox client)

I was having this issue too, I had no idea roblox had anything to do with it.
not sure if it got patched yet but until then I fixed it by going to the SteamVR folder in steamapps and changing the name to just SteamVRa. this made steam think its uninstalled and stopped it from opening randomly. I just change it back to its real name when I want to use it.

Yeah I seem to be having this issue too. Although I can close SteamVR without it closing Roblox.
But it is getting quite annoying especially with games that teleport you from place to place.

I am also experiencing this issue, especially when teleporting within a place. Steam isn’t running (until it automatically opens on its own), no VR hardware plugged in.

This issue has existed for a long time. It’s not attributed to any extensions. Launching the game with SteamVR hooked up to ROBLOX automatically launches it and makes it a dependency.
