Symptoms

Game starts, but not in VR -- it starts in the screen, even though it responds perfectly well to the Valve Index knuckles controls.

Reproduction

1 - Start SteamVR.
2 - Start the game, either via SteamVR Home, or the SteamVR Overlay, or via the SteamVR client pressing play -- the result is the same.
3 - The game will start and respond to the haptic controls, BUT will not appear in VR, only in the screen.

Sending the proton log, maybe also using with WINEDEBUG=openxr %command% might help?

Well, used WINEDEBUG=+openxr %command% and got this log -- interesting line:
[OVRPlugin][ERROR] ovr_Initialize failed: Unable to load LibOVRRT DLL

Oculus VR plugin failing to initialize is most likely a red herring.

I thought that OVRPlugin.dll was openvr plugin. I see now that it's Oculus-only DLL.
Removed OVRPlugin.dll again and tried to start the game. Same thing happens, game starts but only in the screen, except I don't see the error message about "LibOVRRT" again.
Sending the resulting proton log.

The same happens for me. Opens on my monitor not in the HMD.

So, what can be done to proceed with this issue? Anything we can do to help? The game seems to "almost be working", I would prefer not to let this bug report become stale. Any tips on what we users can do to help diagnose it, @kisak-valve? Sorry to evoke you, I know you're the busiest. :/

I managed to get the game to display in the headset by running it in dx11 mode using the -dx11 launch option.
By default it still only shows the VR grid in the headset, but with this workaround it is playable so far.

VKD3D-Proton to OpenXR interop got wired up not too long ago in Proton Experimental and is worth a retest with fresher logs.

I'm using another headset now, the Meta Quest 3 -- will sell my Valve Index. Changing to Proton Experimental does not help in any way, but using the -dx11 flag made it work.
