Known issues

  • The game will immediately exit (crash) if you launch it while SteamVR is running. Please close SteamVR before you start the game. SteamVR will be automatically launched later when you choose the VR mode from the in-game menu. The problem is caused by "Use Desktop Game Theatre while SteamVR is active" that is enabled by default.
  • The force feedback of a steering wheel may stop working when you enter the VR mode. It appears that the problem occurs only for Thrustmaster racing wheels. Logitech racing wheels do not seem to be affected by the VR mode. We are still investigating the problem.
