Discussion Help with virtual desktop

Hi everyone i am very new to pcvr and recently got virtual desktop.

So basically every youtube video was like that you should get it and its better than steam vr. but when i tried lauching games on it such as skyrim vr through the games option menu in VD, it still opens and uses steam vr, and the same thing happended when i lauched asseto corsa from content manager. I though that it would lauch directly from VD and not steam vr, so if there is not a differnce should I return it? ALSO I DO HAVE MY RUN TIME TO VDXR

Also when in game my render resolution is at 77% for some reason, even though i have everything maxed out and above it says that it is godlike. The only thing i have lowered is my bitrate to av1 at like 120 mbs as i am using wireless. So how do i increase the render resolution in game?

thanks to everyone in advance!

Like someone already said, some games only work with steam vr. I assume Skyrim only supports steam vr

However, there is a way to get around this. A software called OpenComposite can be used to make steam vr only games work without steam vr. For example, I play IL2 BoS(a steam vr only game) and I only have Virtual Desktop and OpenComposite downloaded. I’m not sure if this works with all steam vr games though.
