Each VR headset, has it's own setup requirements

  • Common headsets all require, a file named vc_redist.x64.exe to be installed. This is a Microsoft file required for virtual reality use. With the current Racelab VR integration, a Steam account and SteamVR is also required.
  • A cable connection from the headset to the computer is very highly recommended for best performance.
  • HP Reverb G2, is one of the easiest VR headset to setup. It requires SteamVR, Windows Mixed Reality, and another Steam program called Windows Mixed Reality For SteamVR.
  • Oculus Quest headsets, requires a more complex setup. They require the Oculus account and the Oculus computer program, a link cable (Recommended), a steam account, SteamVR, and I recommend the Revive method to use Quest headsets with Racelabs. See video tutorial here
  • Many times I have seen users have issues with VR setup. It is mostly due to them using far to high video settings in headset software / SteamVR settings or game graphics setting. I suggest setting SteamVR video resolution setting to 65% as a good starting point.

If you are Pro Racelab subscriber

If you are Pro Racelab subscriber, then I highly recommend using the new VR beta version of Racelabs. It is very easy to use, and does not require additional programs, other than the Oculus computer program.
