Guide to Play with SteamVR on a Meta Headset

How-To

When you’re playing Propagation: Paradise Hotel on Steam with an Oculus/Meta headset (Rift, Rift S, Quest/2/Pro + Link), the game prioritizes the Oculus SDK, so that you get the best performance by default. That means it doesn’t go through SteamVR.

However, sometimes you might want to force using SteamVR (for example to use LIV). In that case, you have to force the game to use it explicitly with the following steps:

In your file explorer, navigate to the game’s AppData folder by pasting the following in the path bar:

• %LocalAppData%\Propagation_PH_Win64\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Open the “Engine.ini” file with a text editor.

Add the following lines at the end:

[HMDPluginPriority]
SteamVR=40
OculusHMD=30
OpenXRHMD=20
WindowsMixedRealityHMD=10

That’s it, now when launching the game it should automatically launch SteamVR with it.
