Third Party Apps and Rift 1.17 Update

cybereality
Grand Champion

With the 1.17 PC software
update (available now in our public test channel) we’re making it easier to
manage your content library all in one place. Now, you’ll be able to view and
launch all apps that support Rift from your computer or in VR, even if you
acquired them from outside the Oculus Store. We know people sideload apps for a
variety of reasons, so we've included some options to help provide flexibility
and control of what’s displayed. Here are a few things to keep in mind:



  • You can toggle displaying
    third party app titles “on” and “off” from the Filter menu of the Library in the
    upper right of the Oculus desktop app
  • You can remove individual
    apps from your Library (note that this does not uninstall the app; also, at
    this time, this action can’t be undone)
  • If you are using an app
    obtained or purchased outside the Oculus Store, your activity will simply
    display as "Online"
  • Library will still display
    the five most recently played apps. If you toggle “off” third party apps
    titles, they will be removed from recent activity


We’ll be iterating on Library
functionality and features with future patches. If you’re testing the release,
please share feedback with us via the PTC, and stay tuned for future updates.

Accidentally removed an app from the library only to just find out that you cannot readd it.  WTH?!?!?!

No offense but that is incredibly stupid to not be able to readd a app to the library.  Whoever thought of that idea needs a good swift kick.  LOL!!!


mm should be able to to - I never had issues re-adding.

I guess it's always starting the SteamVR version for you. 
What you can try, press Win+R and run the following command.
steam://launch/465780/othervr

That should start the game using the Oculus runtime. (and that makes it show up in Oculus Home)

For some reason I still couldn't it to show, but I managed to add it manually, so it's all good. Thanks!

BTW, I have an images request for SportsBar VR. The Steam version now has Oculus SDK support and crossplay.
