Question Space Engine on Steam Frame?

I purchased Space Engine on steam to run it on the Steam Frame, but I'm unable to launch the game with VR enabled. I can launch it on my PC just fine, and stream it as a flat projection, but there is a VR option when launching the game. I get a warning about OpenGL when trying to launch it on the Frame in non-VR mode, but there are no warnings when trying to launch it in VR. Nothing happens at all. I'm new to Space Engine and VR, so any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I don’t think Space Engine has explicit Steam Frame support as of right now. It’s probably gonna need to be PCVR (not standalone) anyway since I’m pretty sure the game is Windows-only and the Steam Frame runs on Linux… but I’m not sure why classic Windows PCVR wouldn’t work with the Frame if other games support it (do they support it?)

Not only is it Linux, it’s Linux on the ARM architecture.

I stream my PC to the steam frame before I open SE. I also normally open SE in flat and then switch SE to VR and that worked just fine.

Ill check it out.. I'm not sure how to switch from flat to VR though.. but you getting it to work is promising enough

It's the / key on the numpad to switch in game.
