I possess a high-performance computer capable of running Steam VR titles through Oculus Link. I can enjoy every VR game in my collection except Elite Dangerous. The experience runs smoothly on a desktop, but it appears to display when adjusting graphics settings for the Quest. Whether Elite Dangerous can be played in VR via Oculus Link remains unclear, and there may be alternative methods to achieve this.
I've also attempted to start VR in Steam directly, but I encounter an error and the game fails to open. It crashes, requiring a restart of my computer.
You assumed it came from Epic and was free, but it might not show up as an option in the Steam VR launch screen.
It seems the application behaves differently depending on the platform. When opened directly from Steam, it may crash, but launching through the Elite Dangerous Launcher might resolve this issue. In VR, accessing it via Steam VR alone doesn’t appear to work—consider using the dedicated launcher instead.
What method do you use to configure the link? I’m having trouble accessing the game through the link, even though it functions on my desktop.
This error means there was an issue with a reference that wasn't properly assigned to an object. It often happens when a file or item isn't loaded correctly, especially after opening it through the virtual desktop option. The same problem appeared when you accessed it via the Oculus menu.
