Setup walkthroughs
Community research
The v0.1.0 release delivers working stereo and head tracking for the exact Windows game, with a clear gamepad install path; the virtual-window presentation is a material limitation, so playable.
Evidence checked: Creator README and v0.1.0 release reviewed; README separates Quest 3/VD test from untested SteamVR compatibility.
Known limitations
- Presentation is a stereoscopic “window into the world”, not full immersive camera/roomscale gameplay.
- SteamVR’s 32-bit OpenXR runtime is listed as compatible but untested.
- Test report is a creator setup report, not independent broad compatibility evidence.
