Open a Visual

Load a visual from your library and launch the game window

Before you open

Make sure the visual is in your library. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, go to the Marketplace in the dashboard, find the visual, and click Get or Buy. It will appear in your library automatically.

Opening a visual

1. Launch xRLive

   Open the xRLive Launcher. Your visual library loads on the main screen, showing all owned visuals with thumbnails and names.

2. Select a visual

   Click on a visual to select it. A detail panel appears on the right showing its thumbnail, description, and version number.

3. Click Open

   Click the Open button. xRLive mounts the visual pak — this typically takes 2–5 seconds.

4. Both windows appear

   The Game Window opens and starts rendering. The Operator Dashboard updates to show the visual’s controls. You’re live.

Closing a visual

To close the current visual, click Close Visual in the operator dashboard. The game window closes, all operator controls clear, and the launcher returns to the library view.

All actors, effects, and material parameter changes made by the visual are cleaned up automatically on close.

Switching between visuals

Close the current visual first, then open the next one. xRLive fully unloads the previous visual’s assets before mounting the new one — this ensures no content from one visual bleeds into another.

Do not force-quit the game window while a visual is running. Use Close Visual in the operator dashboard to ensure a clean shutdown. Force-quitting may leave orphaned processes on some platforms.
