I have the same question! your HMD is HDK2 or other vendor?

Hi, HelenXR,

my HMD is HDK2, and I've fixed this bug by modify the source code. Now I can enable direct mode with HDK2 and Nivida GPU. But some errors will be occur when I do the same operations on AMD GPU, I'm still debuging it now.

Congratulations for you ! Because unable to access steam through steamVR-OSVR plugin for two months for my custom HMD，I give up for that :( I develop a driver base on openVR instead of SteamVR-OSVR,can access to steam :).
