I havnt seen anyone else use this damn template, idk what half the shit your asking for is because i literally just started using Shadow pc for one day and it stopped working. I just want help getting my steam vr to detect my headset nothing more, i dont see how anything from the "template" above will help, If a template is required we should be forced to fill it out like that when even ASKING the question. This is a help forum, where you ask questions with your own worlds, not amazon customer support.

I have the same issue at https://forum.shadow.tech/let-s-talk-shadow-vr-early-access-52/shadow-vr-just-does-nothing-and-just-goes-back-to-home-almost-immediately-4370

 

I was wondering, have you ever logged in steam vr ever with any VR headset? I’m asking because I noticed that if i switch steam to my wifes account it works fine. She has logged into steamVR in the past on a rift and went the the tutorial / setup stages.

I’m thinking that this issue may happen to people with steam accounts that have never entered steamVR before.
