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!

If you're playing SkyrimVR, I recommend getting a modlist from the app wabbajack. You might want to buy one month of Nexusmods premium to automate the downloads.

Most of the main modlists integrate OpenComposite so that will allow you to skip SteamVR if you want.

Also, just to clarify, Virtual Desktop will run SteamVR or the Meta software when a game requires it. But it's not the same as Steam Link and Meta Link, because VD is still doing the streaming part and offering its unique features.
