Bug: Game not launchable in desktop mode when Rift is not plugged in

Hi,

We're working on adding desktop mode support to our game but we're unable to boot the game in desktop mode without having to plug in the Rift. This kind of defeats the purpose of desktop mode I think. Is this a bug in Oculus home or did we do something wrong?

I've tried to boot one other game (Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes) in desktop mode but it has exactly the same issues.

Best regards,
Frank

    @fversnel Yes, we are aware of this. You currently *do* need a headset connected, even if attempting to run in desktop mode. But it is something that should be fixed eventually. Thanks.

    I got a different but related kind of bug with elite dangerous, running from steam in desktop mode, i then tried to close home to save resources ( the home was rendering !!! ) and that s**t killed the game…
