BeamNG.drive

Needed to launch the native application with:
cd <path_to_beamng>/BinLinux
PRESSURE_VESSEL_FILESYSTEMS_RW=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wivrn/comp_ipc:/var/lib/flatpak/app/io.github.wivrn.wivrn OXR_PARALLEL_VIEWS=1 ./BeamNG.drive.x64
Initially, things took some time to load. On subsequent starts, it went much smoother and faster.
One thing I've found is that enabling VR in the menu at startup can cause issues and extended loading times; loading the track first then switching works much more reliably.

In ALVR it wouldn´t let me switch to VR.
WiVRn at first also wouldn´t let me switch, but I was also having some issues with other games. After a couple of tries with wiVRn (first tried flatpak, then installing via the AUR and manually installing xrizer), I managed to get VR working - Had to open the game's Linux binary (Browse local files -> BinLinux -> BeamNG.drive.x64). After that, the game ran fine.

Just launched linux native version (used install script inside game files), wiven and it worked perfectly no tinkering at all. It is the only vr game that just worked.

Since the latest update the game works perfectly out of the box in native Linux version, but you still have to run it manually since it's no yet on Steam.

Run the game using OXR_PARALLEL_VIEWS=1 to avoid double vision for UI elements.
The game uses a hardcoded list of Vulkan extensions, so it will often break when an OpenXR runtime changes its requirements. Currently, it only works with Monado using a patch to hide one extension.

Everything worked with correctly configured WiVRn environment using envision. You may be able to get the proton version to work, but its easier to use the linux native build by cd ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/BeamNG.drive/BinLinux and then launching the game with PRESSURE_VESSEL_FILESYSTEMS_RW=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wivrn/comp_ipc:/var/lib/flatpak/app/io.github.wivrn.wivrn ./BeamNG.drive.x64.
Once the game is open you can enable VR mode in display settings like normal and if WiVRn is running it should start streaming to the headset. The game uses OpenXR for its VR Implementation fyi.

VR session ends immediately after starting, no error message in the logs (just "Disabling OpenXR" right after enabling it). This is using the native Linux build of BeamNG.drive 0.34.
