How to switch back to OpenVR API? (varjo aero)

  1. When you use the “OpenXR” toggle ON in Varjo Base, it sets all OpenXR applications to use Varjo’s OpenXR runtime.

  2. When you use “Set SteamVR as OpenXR runtime” in SteamVR, it sets all OpenXR applications to use SteamVR’s OpenXR runtime.

  3. When you use the “OpenXR” toggle OFF in Varjo Base, it will unset any OpenXR usage, meaning your OpenXR applications will not start up at all.

Now tbh I wonder what happens if you do 1) then 2)… Does the “OpenXR” toggle in Varjo Base rests itself to OFF? Not sure.

You might also have noticed on my screenshot that the SteamVR Settings has a “Current OpenXR Runtime” which you can use to check what is currently set if you are getting lost.
