If you're a gamer, you're probably familiar with Steam - the popular online gaming platform. Steam offers a wide range of games, including those that require Virtual Reality (VR) devices. However, not all gamers have VR devices, and some prefer to play traditional games. In this article, we'll show you how to launch a Steam game without VR.
Step 1: Open Steam
The first step is to open the Steam application on your computer. You can do this by double-clicking the Steam shortcut on your desktop or searching for it in your computer's applications folder.
Step 2: Go to the Library Tab
Once you've opened Steam, click on the "Library" tab located at the top of the screen. This will show you a list of all the games in your Steam library.
Step 3: Choose a Game
Next, choose the game that you want to play without VR. You can do this by scrolling through your list of games or using the search bar to find a specific game.
Step 4: Right-Click on the Game
Once you've found the game you want to launch, right-click on it. This will bring up a menu with several options.
Step 5: Click on "Properties"
From the menu, click on "Properties." This will open a new window with several tabs.
Step 6: Click on the "General" Tab
Click on the "General" tab located at the top of the window. This tab will show you the basic information about the game, such as the title, developer, and publisher.
Step 7: Click on "Set Launch Options"
Under the "General" tab, click on the "Set Launch Options" button. This will open a new window where you can enter launch options for the game.
Step 8: Enter the Launch Option
In the launch options window, enter the launch option for the game. To launch a game without VR, you'll need to add "-novr" to the launch options. For example, if you're launching the game "Half-Life: Alyx," the launch option should look like this: "-novr -console."
Step 9: Click "OK"
Once you've entered the launch options, click "OK" to save your changes.
Step 10: Launch the Game
