Option to load games without springboard

Mark Rutherford

So many times when springboard doesn’t work correctly or does not show in the Launcher we have to manually launch games from steam I would love to be able to launch games outside of springboard on each computer individually as well. Perhaps there’s already a way to do this.

You should also be able to trigger a remote launch through the Station Monitor for any game a station has installed.

Jeffrey Robinson II: I agree but does not work half the time

Hey Mark Rutherford! In fact there is a way to do this for one-click install titles. We automatically create shortcuts for all games assigned to your station, so if you open the Windows Start Menu you can type in the title and will find an entry for each game in the SpringboardVR folder. It works basically the same as launching a Steam title from the PC, you just have to type it into the Windows Start Menu rather than using a desktop shortcut like Steam does. Let me know if you have any questions or issues trying that feature out. Thanks!

Michelle Nehrenz: Are we being billed when we start games this way without springboard running? Asking because there is still no way to start games to educate staff without being billed.

Michelle Nehrenz

Alex Berg: Hey Alex. Yes when a title is launched this way the time is still being tracked. We currently don't have any way to launch titles without the time being tracked.
