American Truck Simulator VR feature not working for many players after 1.55 update: Here's why?

When it comes to immersion in a simulation game, ATS gives you one of the best VR experiences around. It makes you feel as though you are really driving a huge truck down the highway. But with 1.55, the latest update, a huge number of players are experiencing issues getting VR to work optimally and have been forced back to playing on a flat screen with a keyboard and mouse. It could be for a number of reasons, usually involving the way that the game processes VR output after a major patch. In this guide, we will discuss the reason why VR feature is not working in American Truck Simulator (ATS) and share a few workarounds for it.

Since version 1.55, ATS has integrated a new OpenXR-based VR system, replacing the previous beta VR branch. While this has brought about async loading and perf benefits, it’s also introduced a world of bugs and compatibility problems with a lot of existing VR setups and tools like Virtual Desktop or Steam VR.

How to Fix VR Issues

For the 1.55 update, users have found success with a combination of launch commands, particularly when using OpenXR or when dealing with beta versions. This is especially relevant since VR support is now more integrated into the main game branch. Players on Steam have reported success with the “-openxr -experimental_vr -nointro” launch option. So simply apply these commands in the Steam Launch Options and give it a try. Here’s how to set launch options in Steam:

  • Open Steam Library.
  • Right-click on “American Truck Simulator.”
  • Select “Properties.”
  • In the “General” tab, look for “Launch Options.”
  • Now add: “-openxr -experimental_vr -nointro” into the Launch Options textbox and start the game

Switch to VR Beta Branches

According to SCS developers like Komat, if there’s something important or an immediate fix needed for VR, it will often be pushed to a dedicated VR branch first. This allows them to update the VR experience without having to wait for a full main branch update. This could also cause issues with the standard game. Historically, VR users often had to wait for the full release before they could participate in betas. But now, with these branches, they can get involved earlier.

Now that VR support is more integrated with the main 1.55 game branch, the updates, fixes, and optimizations you are looking for may have been implemented in that version of the game (VR beta branch), which would not yet be available in the main game branch itself.

That being said, now you know why the VR feature was not working properly in ATS 1.55, along with a few tested workarounds for it. This will allow you to once again enjoy the open road in immersive virtual reality. We hope you found this guide informative.
