Deactivate in SteamVR settings the automatic start

 

start il2.exe,

 

voila,without steam and without steamVR.

 

Greetings

The game running without steam is not new for me. As for running without SteamVR, are you sure? It still starts SteamVR for me.

It will run without Steam running no problem, but it can not without Steam VR.

When you launch BoS it starts Steam VR automatically, likely it minimized to your systray.

..but only if you checked that in steamVR settings

 

It was also for me a surprise...

Give it a try and please report back ...

For me it is working without steamVR and steam.

Doesn't work for me.

It doesn't start the steamVR tool, but still uses steamVR. Easy way to verify: uninstall steamVR. BoS won't use HMD if you do that. For a less drastic option, tell steamVR not to autostart, then open task manager and confirm there aren't any steam things running in the background. After starting BoS, you will see steamVR stuff start running in the background even though steamVR doesn't show up in the taskbar.

Yep, currently BoS only supports Steam VR. No way around that.
