I'm not able to see the Oculus software update release notes from the Updates screen. Can't click or right click the thing. I just updated to 1.17

Also, how can I see my Steam VR games from the Library?

Hi CyberMax007,
That question is covered in the other 1.17 thread........

Hope it helps

Dear Oculus, If it ain't broke, don't fix it, please.

I'm not sure the release notes are integrated yet. For 3rd party games, just launch them from outside Oculus and click OK when it asks you to add them.

Does this mean we can launch Steam games from within Oculus Home after we added them by just one button click? That's just awesome!

If you launch a steam game from oculus home, it will start steam / steam vr?

damn posted in wrong thread so pasting here too (the right thread)

1 thing i DONT like... the drop down option for uninstalled games is now
gone, its instead part of a filter for your entire library... which is a
step back imo.


now i have added my steam games i will have probably 60 installed  titles in my home library.
having uninstalled as an entirely separate list is better imo as they stand out more..

Finally!  I hate seeing "game updated" but can't read the patch notes.

Yes; but it's way quicker as it launches STEAMVR in the background (assuming you already have STEAM started). Thus it feels like going from Home and directly to your STEAMVR game.
