    Hi - am finally having a go with R3E after years of it being sat in my Steam library and I'm having issues getting the game running at all in VR (it's fine in non-VR)

    This is the first time I've used Steam VR for anything so I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious or whether something is broken on my end.

    What I've done:
    Installed R3E and added -vr to launch options
    Installed Steam VR
    Allowed unknown source apps to run in the Oculus settings

    What happens when I try and Launch R3E:
    It tries to launch but then shortly after Steam VR tells me it's lost connection to my headset (and I get the orange light inside the headset)

    I've even tried putting my headset on, opening (Oculus) virtual desktop in my headset and launching Steam VR from there. This works completely fine. Steam VR opens and gives me the virtual desktop as it should do. But when I try and open R3E from inside the Steam Virtual Desktop it loses connection to my headset again.

    Any ideas gratefully received!
