In order to run OpenVR games on anything other than SteamVR, you need to configure the OpenVR runtime path defined in <code>~/.config/openvr/openvrpaths.vrpath</code>. A reliable way to do this is to use [[Home Manager]] to create this file.

{{Warning|Older versions of Proton will always query the current OpenVR and OpenXR runtime. If you use OpenComposite, and it fails to initialize an OpenXR context, Proton will fail to launch. A workaround is to delete the ~/.config/openvr/openvrpaths.vrpath file and then retry launching the game.}}

If this file is not set to read-only, SteamVR will add its runtime path back, hence the use for Home Manager.

An example configuration for enabling OpenComposite may look like this:
