Removing the PSVR2 app and overlay is sadly not possible: while the app doesn’t need to run, the overlay will always do so.
Removing the app stops SteamVR from recognizing the device.
Tested again with a timer: timeouts occur exactly 90 seconds after utilizing the program, whether in Desktop mode or in Gaming mode.
There is also a non optional Overlay that the PS/VR2 imposes, namely the psvr2 overlay to be able to sue the motion controllers. This is impossible to turn off, so I suspect any other users with a PS/VR2 will either have the same issue, or have it running without issues, suggesting it can’t be a problem.
I don’t know how many people you have with a VR2, but it’s a bit of info.
I have tried with both SteamVR and OpenXR, tried the latter when SteamVR failed.
I have checked and removed other overlays, including those of AMD drivers themselves. GameBar is also functionally cut out of my Windows install with a Debloater.
The options were:
– Rivatuner from MSI Afterburner
– Wallpaper Engine
– AMD Overlay
– Discord Overlay
– Lossless Scaling
– Game Bar
– Browser
– HWINFO (reads sensors for system, I figure safe bet to shut down)
– Windows PowerToys (has overlay componets that are turned off).
– Steam OverlayAll of these have been disabled for the test as you asked. I inspected Task Manager for any processes that may be related, found none.
VorpX is allowed to turn off overlays and runs in admin mode. Alternative hook method has been tried to no effect, so it’s turned off again.
I checked again and the app just crashes on the virtual desktop too, after the same amount of time. I had been using it to launch games so didn’t test the obvious scenario of leaving it running.
The desktop mode is thus also a bust.
The in-app troubleshooter was read back to front before I came to the forums: Googling also didn’t show any similar results to mine.
FAQ above was read.
Tested with just SteamVR and Left 4 Dead 2, crash behaviour is _identical_: Crashes about 2-3 minutes in. Seems to last the exact same amount of time before crashing each time, suggesting a timeout somewhere.
If it’s helpful I can roll back drivers to last year or something similar.
Hope this helps.
