^ a video of what happens if I press play.
After playing in vr for about an hour, I took a break and decided to play the desktop version. It won't work. It only works in vr. Mind you, I deleted steamvr and changed the settings of oculus so it won't be able to play games that aren't in the oculus store.
I have no idea what to do.

Edit: After watching the video, it looks like the game refuses to launch at all. So it's kind of a different behavior than the other post.
do you have any suggestions for what I should do?
I have 2 guesses for the cause:
1. A game related file kept somewhere other than in the steamapps folder, and not deleted on uninstall; the only one I can find is at C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\Unknown Worlds (and to make it harder, appdata is a "hidden" folder, easiest to find it with a search). Try renaming that folder to Unknown Worlds.bak, and delete or move any files that may remain in the steam subnautica folder, before reinstalling.
2. A registry setting might be stuck at "vr mode". Make sure to make a restore point before you do anything there.
This should allow you to see what files Subnautica is accessing, and perhaps discern what the config files are and where they are located.
Side note: There's a whole crapton of good tools in that suite, so even if you're not trying to figure this out, I'd grab it (SysInternals made a free set of Windows sysadmin tools that was so good that Microsoft acquired them and hired the authors.
