The application should be based on OpenVR and run via SteamVR
- OpenVR is not natively integrated in Unity since version 2020. Installer is provided either through the SteamVR installer from the asset store or the UnityXR plugin from Github directly
For OpenVR applications, there should be a fully configured oculus_touch.json included in the app. This file defines how controller input is handled by SteamVR
If the application is based on OpenXR, it is possible to test its compatibility with CloudXR locally by setting SteamVR as OpenXR runtime
- Open SteamVR > Settings > OpenXR > Set SteamVR as OpenXR runtime

For Unreal Engine 5.x applications based on OpenXR, -d3d12 launch argument might be needed to force the use of DirectX 12
For Unreal Engine 5.3 follow these best practices for good performances of VR applications
The application must not require admin privileges
Second screen has to launch in full screen mode when it should be seen or use through the Interactive Spectator in the Innoactive Portal
Multi-User Networked applications: Matchmaking needed (no connection via manual IP address Input)
Do not show the Unity resolution selection splash screen
