I am using the Unreal Engine VR Template project. The problem is, each time SteamVR exits, Unreal Engine crashes.
This is a big problem for me, as I want to allow my headset to go to sleep when idling (which will force SteamVR to exit), but I don’t want Unreal Engine to crash each time.
Any fix available?
Hello there @skypalace1 !
That crash shouldn’t happen at all, specially if you are working on the VR template only, there should be no content affecting the cache yet. Plus, the interaction is with Steam only, so the GPU, nor the headset, should be involved here.
To pinpoint the origin, we will need to see the exact error encountered, via checking the crash log, which can be found in the following location (also, please check the crash report guide). Once you have the log, add it to the thread, and we can investigate further:
Where To Find Local Crash Reports
Crash reports from the editor are stored on your local machine in your project’s
Saved/Crashesfolder.Alternatively, you can find crash reports on a user’s local machine in
C:\Users[Your Windows Username]\AppData\Local[Project Name]\Saved\Crashes.
Ok, I’ve put my log file here:
The last line is
[2025.07.25-11.12.26:945][731]LogHMD: FOpenXRHMD is requesting app exit. CurrentSessionState: XR_SESSION_STATE_UNKNOWN
I am guessing that has to do with it?
