Resolved How to disable SteamVR from launching

Hello,

I was having an issue on preventing SteamVR from opening when entering the Play mode in the editor or when launching an .exe with openvr_api.dll present (in this case, removing the .dll will prevent SteamVR from running). Messing with the SteamVR settings did not work for me either.

In order to disable SteamVR from launching, let's make the system think it is uninstalled. Simply rename the SteamVR folder to something else than "SteamVR" and you are good to go. To enable it, rename it back to "SteamVR".

I hope this helps someone.

 

THANK YOU!!!
