Spawn player at default Pawn Class in VR Preview

Hi everyone,

am quite new in UE and am struggling with a problem in VR Preview mode.

As I added a third person character blueprint and game mode to my play, I would like to start my game in VR mode controlling the player. But whenever I start the VR preview, it pawns an additional player from the current camera location.

When opening the arrow next to the play button below “spawn player at…” it says “default player start” as a selectable option, but is grayed out so I can’t select it. I guess that would solve my problem but unfortunately I don’t know how to activate it.

Any ideas on this? And is activating this option actually the right way to go?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Udo
