I’m running UE 4.12.3 with the and after a recent steamvr update, the VR preview opens on top of the compositor. In order to play, I have to move the game preview onto the desktop, enable compositor fullscreen, then click back into the game. Is there a way to change where the VR preview opens so I can force it onto the desktop and don’t have to move it every time I play?
Hello MFeffer,
If you would like to change the position or size of a window, you could use the play section in the Editor Preferences. I have provided an example below. I hope that this information helps.

It looks like the VR preview is using the Play in New Window settings, but every time I run the VR preview, the left position changes to -2160 and the top position changes to 1080
Could you try removing your saved, intermediate and config files and let me know if this makes a difference?
Note: You may want to make a back up of these files.
I tried that, and now the numbers stay at 1 and 31, but the preview is still offscreen. I think it’s an issue with SteamVR because I changed to an older version and it has no problems with the VR preview.
Hello MFeffer,
I am happy that you were able to find a workaround for your issue. I will be converting your last comment to an answer. If this issue returns and it does not appear to be on the end of Steam VR please feel free to reopen this thread and I will be more than happy to assist you further.
Make it a great day
Hello,
This still seems to be an issue on 4.19 (oculus rift cv1). The Play in New Window settings work for resizing the Vr preview window but setting the position has no effect. The resized window appears in the center of the screen every time.
Also it seems that the position settings do not get saved. They are reverted to the original value when you reopen advanced settings.
It is a bit inconvenient when you test things in Vr a dozen times would be nice if there was a way.
