Very well explained video. It’s also worth noting that if you want even more detail rendered than what godmode offers, that can be adjusted in Microsoft OpenXR tools bypassing Steam VR completely. Using VDXR on DCS I’ll set render at 200% which is something like 4412x4412 and either NIS scale that back a little or override resolution down to 3240x3240. Steam never launches

Is it just the performance? I've tried using OpenXR Toolkit several times now in DCS Standalone (via link cable, not VD yet) and I don't see any difference in performance with any of the settings. The only setting that has ever made any difference is setting the encode bitrate in the OpenXR Debug Tool. My specs: 4080 Super/5800X3D/W10.

To launch SteamVR from Virtual Desktop, once you've got the VD Quest app connected to the VD Streamer App on PC, double press the options button on the left Quest controller to bring up VD settings and press the 'Launch SteamVR' menu button on the bottom left. This applies to playing OpenVR (SteamVR) games only and the VD Streamer App OpenXR runtime should be set to 'SteamVR' or 'Automatic'. If you use Oculus wired link and you want games that work with Open Composite, then you want Oculus App to be the default OpenXR runtime, if not you don't need the Oculus app or for it to be the default runtime. If you want to use Virtual Desktop in VDXR mode, then you want to set Virtual Desktop to be the default OpenXR runtime. Either do this by re-installing the Virtual Desktop Streamer App again or downloading github.com/WaGi-Coding/OpenXR-Runtime-Switcher and then pick the VitrtualDesktop and 'Make Active' to make it the default OpenXR runtime. To launch Open Composite games with VDXR, then don't start SteamVR but launch the game from the Steam 2D library menu and pick the game and select launch in SteamVR mode (see 11:12) this triggers to game to launch with VDXR, but does not actually launch SteamVR.

I believe this is because of your home network speed. That would be the max speed of your router (if your quest is the only thing connected) Most modern routers can move speeds of 5000+ mbps. Keep in mind your home network is whatever devices are connected to the internet there... but have nothing to do with your network speed. A good example of understanding this would be.... Say your wifi has no internet... you can still connect but its out. What your connecting to is your home network and even though theres no internet all of your home devices can still talk if their coming from the same router.

@@wolfhenschke1663 I did more testing and I found that Steam Link had less latency and felt a tiny bit more responsive, it also stuttered a lot more than VD did. I also had a weird graphical issue in Skyrim while using Steam Link that I didn’t have with VD. Still trying to figure that one out.

Thank you for the video! I have a question though, how do you have your Mbps consistently at 2400 range? Mine has been jumping from 2400 to 1400 and not sure what the problem is.
@HamVR Жыл бұрын
Which router do you have? If it's the same as mine (TP-Link Archer75), create a different Wifi name and password for the 6Ghz band to the 5/2.4Ghz band. Also set the 6Ghz channel width to the one with the 160Mhz range.

I don't understand why I need a new router to use this thing with pc. Can't I just buy a cable and run my Steam games like that
@mearnz533 Жыл бұрын
Might seem a silly question, but what sort of height and orientation are your router and the antennae set at (assuming its in the same room as you for obvious reasons). I have this exact model and my connection isn't locked at 2.4Ghz, kind of concluded I haven't got it optimally placed but I don't know how to improve it?
@antoniox2241 Жыл бұрын
Height and orientation doesn't mean anything. You need to have 5g or 6g for it to be playable. I have a 6g and I can play fine from my basement while my PC is upstairs. No matter where u place ur router it won't matter cuz it's obviously weak. Ur gonna have to wire

I have read that it is best to set the dedicated router as an access point, wire both it and your PC to the main router. That way you eleiminate potential networking conflicts between the two routers.

Well, I did not go through all this for my Quest 3. I just got a USB Link cable to attach to my Quest 3 to play any PCVR SIM racing games. The games all work great for me and run all of them by selecting the Oculus VR play mode. I don't see a need for this additional piece of software to do my PCVR gaming. May work for you, but I don't see the need for it since I am just sitting down and doing SIM racing. Simple hookup, and all works for me. But if I ever do need Virtual Desktop, I know what video to watch again. Take care.
@HamVR8 ай бұрын
This is really for people that need to play VR wirelessly. Steam Link is pretty good now but it still runs via SteamVR which add a performance overhead. VDXR lets you bypass StemVR, for OpenXR games and is a bit more efficient.

Thanks a lot for the video. May I ask: Virtual desktop app is available for both PC (windows 11) and meta quest3. Do you need both of these? It seems clear to me on the Quest3, but what is the Virtual desktop for on Windows 11? Thanks for a reply :-)
@HamVR Жыл бұрын
You need the Quest version for playing wireless on Quest. The classic version is for wired headsets, so that you can interact with Windows desktop apps and view 3D and 360 videos in VR. The classic version is not widely used in comparison to the Quest or Pico version of the apps with both use Virtual Desktop streamer app.

Didnt help at all, all im trying to make work is making my hands work when I'm opening VRChat, along side with SteamVR not crashing when I'm opening it from the quest 3... have had the headset for nearly a week and haven't nearly used it since I cant find a way to fix this... Virtuel desktop was brought since I was told it would make it easier.. spoilers it didn't, and I'm so close to just return the damn thing... by this point its more trouble then its worth..

Great video, thank you for these settings videos. I recently purchased the same TP Link Router as well. Do you prefer virtual desktop over using quest link which is what I have been using?
@HamVR Жыл бұрын
Pro and cons with either. Quest link is the easiest to setup and gives the best image. Virtual Desktop with Quest 3 gets around USB problems, allows for Chroma key passthrough and let's AMS2 run with the OpenXR Toolkit. It's also better for standing VR until the battery runs out.
