In today’s video, I’m going to show you how to use Opencomposite to bypass SteamVR and enable the OpenXR runtime for SteamVR games. By making this change, you can potentially boost your performance and enjoy a smoother VR experience with OpenXR tools that can fine-tune visuals and settings, giving you more control over your VR setup.
Opencomposite allows you to bypass the limitations of SteamVR and use the OpenXR runtime instead, which can lead to better performance and compatibility with various VR applications. Coupled with the OpenXR Toolkit, you’ll gain access to additional visual and performance enhancements like dynamic resolution scaling, sharpening, and more.
However, it’s important to note that this option does not work for all games. While many SteamVR titles are compatible with Opencomposite and OpenXR, some may still require SteamVR to run properly, so I’ll walk you through which games are best suited for this method and how to troubleshoot if things don’t go as planned.
In this video, I’ll cover:
Setting up Opencomposite: A step-by-step guide to install and configure Opencomposite so you can bypass SteamVR and use the OpenXR runtime.
Using the OpenXR Toolkit: How to make the most out of the OpenXR Toolkit to optimize visual quality and boost performance in supported games.
