openvr_api.dll not found (msys2-x86_64-20200720.exe)

[SpiralBrad]

lol.

Works when openvr_api.dll version 1.0.10.0 is placed next to the installer (600,864 bytes - MD5 e85622ffa2fc95b618f86a5b8e2d15b8) but uhh... I can't imagine that being an actual, needed library.

Could this be a broken graphics driver install that gets triggered by the directx dependency?

[lazka]

We are planning to move to another installer in the long run, see #3. So this might fix itself then..

[SpiralBrad]

Late reply, but I grabbed it by searching my system and picking a random one from a Steam folder.

Well that ntldd isn't showing it as an actual dependency so I bet it's my system only. Shouldn't be a 'broken graphics driver', as it's standard/up-to-date nVidia stuff, but it may be something else. This IS an old windows install with a bunch of cruft on it...

[lazka]

Since we never got a similar issue I assume this was specific to your system.
