Searching for Head-Mounted-Display

Hi Enscape Forums,

We have an HTC Vive Pro 2 connected to a desktop with a 3090 TI on the latest GPU driver and are having an issue with Enscape exports made in any version of Enscape 4.1 and above - the export just says “searching for head-mounted-display”. The Vive HMD works just fine with exports made in 4.0.2 and below. I’ve tested exports from 4.9, 4.8, 4.5, and 4.2 (created from Revit 2026, Revit 2024, Rhino 8, and Rhino 7) and below and none of them can find the HMD.

Any ideas for what else I can troubleshoot to get the exports working for newer versions of Enscape?

Thanks in Advance!

Solved :: Enscape support let me know that a 3090 TI is below the minimum requirements for VR in 4.1 and above

This doesn’t make much sense. We run VR .exe files from laptops with 3080, a desktop with 2080 Ti…

Does VR work “live” from Enscape?

Hi @cdean , and welcome to our Forum.

What you can try first thing is to follow this guide here, given that from Enscape 4.1 onward, our VR exports use OpenXR (earlier versions used OpenVR/SteamVR directly).

If that makes no difference, you can also forward this behavior through our official support channels, as detailed here, so that we can gladly investigate further.

Wow, thanks so much Demian! Switching the OpenXR over to SteamVR did the trick!
