    A recent Dirt Rally update unintentionally broke Vive Revive support. If you are a Vive owner this is how you fix it for now, though keep in mind both the Dirt Rally and Revive devs are working to ensure more future stability: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/58i5gj/how_to_fix_revive_for_dirt_rally/

    A new 32-bit version of the Revive patch that fixes the problem with Dirt Rally and allows the game to be started through Steam.

    Follow these instruction to get it to work:

    Make sure you've installed Oculus Home and remember to skip the first-time setup.
    Download the Revive patch here: https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive/releases/download/0.9.7/RevivePatch32.zip
    Go to the properties of the game in the Steam Library.
    Uncheck "Use Desktop Game Theatre while SteamVR is active".
    Go to the Local Files tab and click "Browse Local Files...".
    Extract the patch into the folder that opened next to the executable.
    Make sure SteamVR is running and start the game through Steam.
    A dialog will incorrectly state the game does not support VR, ignore that and press OK.

    A couple of days ago. Revive made an update 1.0.4 I couldn't get Dirt Rally to work after installing the update.

    Tried a lot of things, the solution was to reinstall the game, uninstall Revive and install the 1.0.3 version. Then press the "patch" button and everything was running again :)

    Just if someone else is having trouble.
