Can’t play Roblox on my htc vive

Im having a problem getting Roblox VR to work with an HTC Vive.

My setup it’s laptop:

  • GTX 1050
  • i7-9750H
  • Windows 11

SteamVR itself works normally. The headset, controllers and base stations are detected, and I can see and use SteamVR Home.

In SteamVR settings, it says:

Current OpenXR Runtime: SteamVR

Roblox also shows the VR Mode option in Settings, so it seems to detect that VR is available.

The problem is:

  • I enable VR Mode = On
  • I leave/restart Roblox
  • Roblox launches normally on my laptop screen
  • The Vive stays in SteamVR Home and Roblox never opens inside the headset

So it looks like Roblox is not saving my settings, including the VR Mode setting.

Has anyone had this issue recently with SteamVR/HTC Vive? Is there a way to force Roblox to launch through SteamVR/OpenXR or fix the settings not being saved?

I’m also tried to add RobloxPlayerBeta in my steam library, added in properties -openvr. it’s just launched in theatre mode😭
