Checks and expected results

Before you repair it

  • Record whether the same content starts on a monitor and which OpenVR or Oculus file the failure identifies.
  • Close Automobilista 2 and preserve the implicated OpenVR/Oculus graphics and settings XML files before removing its active copy.
  • Note the settings you will need to re-enter and change only the identified file or files.

How to confirm the result

Relaunch Automobilista 2, review the rebuilt settings, and repeat the original action. Confirm that the headset renders the session correctly after VR settings are recreated. If it does not help, keep the new evidence and use the backup to restore the previous configuration with the simulator closed.

Repair limits and when to stop

Only the implicated VR XML files belong in this reset. It does not replace the VR runtime or reset unrelated controller data.
