How to play with SteamVR on a Meta headset
When you're playing Propagation: Paradise Hotel on Steam with an Oculus/Meta headset (Rift, Rift S, Quest/2/Pro + Link), the game prioritizes the Oculus SDK, so that you get the best performance by default. That means it doesn't go through SteamVR.

However, sometimes you might want to force using SteamVR (for example to use LIV). In that case, you have to force the game to use it explicitly with the following steps:

  • In your file explorer, navigate to the game’s hidden AppData folder by pasting the following in the path bar:

    %LocalAppData%\Propagation_PH_Win64\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

  • Open the "Engine.ini" file with a text editor.
  • Add the following lines at the end:

    [HMDPluginPriority] SteamVR=40 OculusHMD=30 OpenXRHMD=20 WindowsMixedRealityHMD=10


That’s it, now when launching the game it should automatically launch SteamVR with it.

@Sadad_Belbanes yes, it's a hidden folder. I'm not sure about Virtual Desktop, I don't think so but if they ask for SteamVR to be running then yes.

@TonaZ LIV is a tool that allows content creators to capture themselves (or their full-body avatar) inside the VR game https://www.liv.tv/

Do we need to do all this if we are using Virtual Desktop?

Also, I cannot find the folder referenced above. Is it a hidden folder?
