Known issues
- The game will immediately exit (crash) if you launch it while SteamVR is running and Desktop Game Theatre is enabled. Please close SteamVR or disable Desktop Game Theatre before launching the game.
- 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.
