How to Run v1.0 Thru Steam and Virtual Desktop

[magic stag]

Open Steam and keep it open. Navigate to your Steam/SteamApps/Common folder and find SteamVR folder and then rename it to SteamVROriginal. Back in Steam, right-click SteamVR (if you can't find it, search VR) and open properties. Find the BETAS tab and select Oculus_Win7and8 of SteamVR for Older Oculus Software. Then, go to the LOCAL FILES tab and verify intergrity of files. When done, repeat the same Process for IntoTheRadius by renaming it's folder to IntoTheRadiusOriginal, then right-clicking, going to properties and into the BETAS tab, select 1.0 for SteamVR Old Game version for Oculus HMD. Verify files the same was as before. In the GENERAL tab, type -vrmode Oculus in the Launch Options at the bottom and then close the properties box. Reopen virtual desktop and launch ITR thru VD's game menu and enjoy!

Interesting trick with steamVr version, wish I found this sooner, finished 1.0 playthrough just a couple of days ago.
I wounder if it works with some other titles that not fully support VD...

to anyone else using this and having issues, try setting the virtual desktop refresh rate to anything other than 72fps, for some reason that seems to not work

Saving for later

so is this for both using steam vr and virtual desktop or just steam vr?

im only asking as i dont have virtual desktop

and for some reason the beta you mentioned does seem to work as i dont get the menu at the start

the other beta seems to work fine though

[foggy trench]

virtual desktop, if you try use VD without doing this stuff the menu and a bunch of other in game stuff just doesnt work so you cant play

If I want to use SteamVR normally again, and ITR, too, I just rename the folders back to their initial versions and also rename the modified folders, and verify files again? i.e. SteamVROriginal becomes SteamVR again, and the „modified“ folder can be either deleted or renamed to anything else than „SteamVR“ in order to go back to normal?

[magic stag]

yup, just reverse the process

essentially the one names IntoTheRadius and SteamVR are your primarys ones that will launch with steams, unless you create custom launchers

[torn kestrel]

i... dont understand?

@magic stag could you help me? i dont understand it

rename steamVR in your steamapps common folder. I have mine setup like this.

then go into steamVR and set the version to the beta shown above

itll download the dated version of steamVR

Optionally, you can then rename it as follows and then disable the beta in steam so that your regular steamVR install is up to date

whenever you want to run ITR v1.0 just rename the folders. Apparently some people can install the seperate steamVR as a non steam game but virtual desktop doesn't seem to like the old version of steamVR for me

[magic stag]

exactly as stucho has showed

[torn kestrel]

Didn't work for me, got no menu

[magic stag]

this is not for fixing the white menu, this is for 1.0

[torn kestrel]

Ended up just using the fact I bought the game on my quest to play 1.0 through Oculus

this is what you are looking for

[torn kestrel]

also not the issue, the issue was no menu

like, at all

[magic stag]

🤷‍♂️

[unique spire]

No menu is usually what happens when people try to run 1.0 using virtual desktop. The fix is either use airlink or follow the steps here

[torn kestrel]

in my case the fix was use the oculus version... since I bought the game for the quest I owned on oculus so...

[proper slate]

for some reason itr 1.0 doesn't like steam link on the quest 2

is there a way to get it to work with steam link?

[unique spire]

it likely has the same problem as virtual desktop. The fix is to use an old version of steamVR (which may or may not be possible if using steam link).

[proper slate]

its more than likely not possible for steam link to connect to old versions of steam vr as steam link for steam vr is very new and was just added not long ago

but i still have airlink for the quest2

and i have yet to own a copy of vd on either steam or oculus

also old steam vr griped at me for it not being up to update the first time i tried to setup itr 1.0

hopefully it doesn't this go round

[unique spire]

If you use airlink it should work fine. Yeah i wouldnt expect steamlink to work if using old steamVR but you never know unless you try.

I've spent two hours trying every which way with this here, and then including OVR AS fix, different betas, and on and on. No menu whatever I do. I really want to be able to play 1.0, so please help!

[alpine saddle]

It may seem anoying because of the wire, but from my own experience, playing plugged in is better

[fluid scroll]

Well the topic here is Virtual Desktop, so... 😃

[proper slate]

for some reason the beta that is mentioned in the guide above doesn't seem to work at all, atleast for me it doesn't, when using either version of steam vr. and the "itr_1.0 - Old game version" beta is the only beta i got to work for 1.0

[alpine saddle]

Im aware, ive struggled with vd and it seems the cord was the best bet for me, also my internet is dog balls so that might kinda be why

Just my own advice

[fluid scroll]

Tried both... in all combinations with the other parameters
