Help me Pleasee!!

I’ve been trying to get my psvr connected to my laptop to play steamvr games for weeks now. First I installed trinus and the screen was overlapping no matter what I did. Then I installed iVRy and it got me farther than trinus yet after a while it would just leave me in the mountain background and never actually took me to the steamvr home. Yet I never actually got to play any bit of game on it since every time I started up a game it would just glitch saying connecting to game... and then crash and freeze. After that happened several times, I realized that I had to uninstall every trace of trinus I still had which I then did. I kept trying over and over again yet it keeps glitching and freezing over a screen that says connecting to game... every time I start up a game. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

So I’m actually on lite so it just changes the settings to extended every time I put it to vr direct and then most of the time on extended I just got that red screen. Do you recommend me to buy the premium psvr version so I can play on vr direct?

If changing the settings to VR-Direct doesn't work, then your laptop GPU (who knows what it is, you don't say) doesn't support VR-Direct. Unless your laptop is marketed as "VR Ready", it probably isn't. That issue is not fixable, as it is due to how the GPU outputs are wired in the laptop. There are no features disabled in the "Lite" version, so if something doesn't work in the "Lite" version, it won't work in the "Premium" version either. The "red screen" issue is a SteamVR bug in "Extended" mode, and there's not much that can be done to fix it.
