Description

Hi! I tried simula in my Oculus Quest 2 wirelessly using ALVR.

ALVR starts a SteamVR instance, but Simula didn't attach to it. SteamVR didn't recognize any game playing, and Simula didn't receive any input event from the headset. I tried starting Simula after, before, restarted a few times, but nothing worked

The documentation says that Simula uses SteamVR to interface with headsets, so why didn't it interface with mine? I've read that the Quest 2 don't have linux drivers, but since I'm using ALVR that shouldn't be a problem right?
