i got it to autostart but it doesnt show its running in steam and doesnt automatically close either.....
i guess theyre gonna still be working on this?

Please mark this application as a tool in Steam, rather than a game. It should assist in this.

Starting the App for the first time with Steam VR running, it will appear in Steam VR's Settings > Startup / Shutdown menu > CHOOSE STARTUP OVERLAY APPS.

It doesn't show up in SteamVR's setting. The option in VRCFacetracking settings is also greyed out.

Autostart is currently an unmaintained (removed in the beta) feature, as it was buggy and unreliable with the previous installer method. There may be plans to improve it in the future.

The game type has no influence on SteamVR's autostart features, it instead relies on hooking into OpenVR processes.
