Steam VR with G2 vr shows waiting screen forever while desktop shows mirror view fine

MSFS no longer enters VR properly for HP G2 with Steam VR openxr.
Steam VR says “waiting” and is stuck. Desktop shows mirrored view fine.

Open XR for WMR works but Steam VR open XR is better for me because it supports fpsvr and also OBS steamvr recording which I need!

This just started happening recently it was working fine a few weeks ago.

Had the same. A windows updated (or my virusscanner(?) has removed a microsoft Visual C+ library. Install this again and Steam VR works again… You can also try to reinstall the Windows Mixed Reality for steam VR software and/or SteamVR.

Which c+ library?? I Uninstalled all 3 things then reinstalled windows mixed really steamvr and windows mixed reality for steam vr and still same issue.

This was not the issue for me…

Fixed for me by turning off OpenXR toolkit for steam vr

in openxr settings turn of openxr toolkit

Seems openxr toolkit 1.32 stopped working with steamvr with a recent steamvr update??

Can’t find discord for openxr toolkit not sure how to report issue??

In MSFS you don’t need steamvr for the reverb. Set under windows settings/mixed reality/startup and desktop/automatic startup the steamVR option off.
You can still use OpenXR in MSFS then.
Sadly Mbucchia has stopped the development of OpenXR. So the discord server is closed.

This does work but some people like me use steamvr for other things they need like obs screen recording of MSFS. And for fpsvr which is very handy to see how the GPU CPU mem are doing with settings in MSFS.

Any solution to screen recording that is like OBS with steamVR or OBS for WMR openXR would help the situation especially since openxr toolkit can kind of help with settings but not as good as fpsvr.
