Unable to use VR mode despite it being enabled

awry_y · February 2, 2025, 7:43am

I have a meta quest 3s which I am trying to use with studio to developer my VR system but sadly it simply won’t work at all!

As seen. I am on VR and VR is enabled yet there is no actual VR going on!

Expected behavior

I want to use VR easily without any hassle.

Bump, this bug is not fixed and is annoying the hell out of me.

For me, I always have to restart studio or my pc just to get it working, it’s really annoying

Oh, I’ll try that. Thanks for the reply!

Any ideas when this will be resolved?

I have been having this issue for more than a year now and it’s caused me to have to use the client over and over to test any VR changes. It makes it hard for me to continue working on VR support in my projects

That sounds like what I felt today when I tried working on VR. I uploaded around 78 version today.

Also, I noticed that roblox pays basically no attention at all to VR. VR roblox is insanely bugged and it disappoints me as I just bought a new vr headset to make games on roblox and now I feel dissapointed.

Yikes. I feel for you

Some of the perfect examples of issues with Roblox’s VR:

This bug report
Roblox crashes if I leave any game while my VR is connected to my pc and roblox is ran from my PC - A bug that also happens to be from time to time that is also posted by you!
VRService.AvatarGestures to allow for VR crouching - My feature request for something that I have no idea why doesn’t exist
Animating Your Avatar In VR - #9 by TheNexusAvenger - Teleporting with VRService.AvatarGestures enabled is very bugged
The native VR interface that Quest has that’s lacking on PC for seamless transitioning between games
Joining a game through the app crashes if you try to play in VR. You must use the website (though I do that anyways. Would be nice to use the app for faster game swapping)
There is absolutely no properly usable keyboard for SteamVR users except for a physical keyboard. The enter and backspace keys don’t work at all when using the SteamVR one

It is frustrating that these issues persist as I absolutely adore VR ever since I got my first ever headset back in 2019 with the Oculus Rift S. During that time, Roblox has improved their VR experience, but they also made it worse in some aspects.
