right click the game, properties, then shortcut, then where it says Target click there at the end iirc, and hit SPACE 1x. then -vr hit apply. thats it. sometimes space --vr will work. but usually just the one.
im using win 11 too, but here it is. use this ( -vr -Hmd=OculusHMD)instead . you can also go to FAQ and see where i was speaking to Rob Conner on this.
read the "edit" part so you know what to install and read what rob responded the first time!
Supports standard play and VR play. Don't have a VR headset? You can try to play this VR game with a Google Cardboard (Or a copy-cat clone) viewer, an Android phone and VRidge (freeware)! For more details, see my post. 05/27/24 - Update VRidge has now gone commercial (The latest version is now being sold on Steam). However, you can still download an older version for free or try another freeware alternative like ALVR (Download here ALVR works on some, but not all smartphones). Don't have VR controllers? You can try to play this VR game with two mice using Driver4VR. See demo video on YouTube. Not sure which "cardboard" headset to buy? Check out the following buying guide: "10 questions to ask before buying a Google Cardboard VR headset". Hesitant about playing VR games due to the current fact that not all games support all VR headsets? Then see the post concerning an effort to standardize support for all VR headsets by all games through OpenXR! (You may need to refresh the page as the linked comment may take a while to load up in the page). There is full English support via the English interface, English audio and English subtitles!
Note: Edited gameplay mode(s) supported on 08/20/24.
There seems to have been a miscommunication of information on Steam's part. I visited the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine and browsed through a saved web page capture of this game's Steam page as it was recorded two months ago on 06/26/24. As you can see from the linked page, during that period of time, there was no obvious Steam notification posted that indicated whether this game was "VR Only" or "Supports both standard and VR play" unlike what's on the current Steam page. Moreover, if you scroll down to this game's specs at that time, you can see that it includes a list of all of the VR headgear that is game supports. Given all of the available information at the time, I had concluded that this game supported "VR Only".
I try my best to present as accurate information as possible from sources like Steam, GOG or Epic Games where available. On rare occasions like this one where the information may be convoluted due to a lack of accurate information from the source and given that I may have to present information for many games (eg. 20+ or more at 10 games per page, depending upon how many games are uploaded that require such information) on a given day, I don't have the luxury of going through further investigations for each game to try to figure out what modes of gameplay a game may support and must rely on the whatever direct information is made available on any particular online, retailer.
I have edited my OP to reflect the updated information that is now on the current Steam page for this game thanks to your inadvertent, rude way of notifying me.
If that is not good enough for you then you can get the fμck out of here with your shιtty attitude! And by the way, the next time you want to fμcking bitch about shιt that you take for granted, like someone kindly providing you daily with information about games listed on this site instead of you having to take the time out of having to make a detour visit on an online retailer's store to find out the the information about each game, at least have the balls to use your real or main member account when addressing me instead of hiding behind an obviously, newly created (Only has 1 comment in the Profile page), alias account! Steam page for Riven on 06/26/24 (Note: No clear, gameplay mode(s) supported notification is present other than "VR Supported"). Steam page for Riven on 06/26/24 (Note: Requirements list with VR equipment supported. There is no mention of the VR headgear being optional).
