I loaded virtual desktop without issue?

VD loads, but wont connect to my PC, says i need to log in to oculus account (which i don't have)

Unseul · 4 Oct 2021 at 19:14

OK. You're running the VD streamer client on the PC right?

Mine tells me it can't connect to the internet, and is only showing local PCs. As my PC is on the network, it's showing, and I can connect. I don't have oculus running on the PC.

You absolutely do have an oculus account though, you need one to use your headset at all. It's just it's probably linked to your facebook account.

We should still be able to play games on Steam through Virtual Desktop?

Depends if your Quest 2 decides to do an authentication check on boot - if that fails due to the network being down then none of your games will appear.

I can play township. Already tried it through VD.

Shi seems to be struggling with VD.

Unseul · 4 Oct 2021 at 19:21

I'm going into VD, and then township now. Someone please try and join me, at least in discord if you can, so I know if that's working.

ShiWarrior · 4 Oct 2021 at 19:22

y eah streamer is on

melmac · 4 Oct 2021 at 19:24

Virtual desktop works. I have to head off now, but will be back at 8pm.

Ravenger · 4 Oct 2021 at 19:25

I'm in discord but no response...

Unseul · 4 Oct 2021 at 19:26

I tested my mic and it's working?

ShiWarrior · 4 Oct 2021 at 19:28

mine is 1.20.12
website says 1.20.11 ?

Unseul · 4 Oct 2021 at 19:28

My Quest 2 is showing almost no apps installed, so it's onto the Index!

ShiWarrior · 4 Oct 2021 at 19:34

"No computer found"

then down the bottom it says "No internet, please make sure you've downloaded the streamer app"
was working last night and all the nights before that

just so happens to not work when FB goes down ?

Restart the Streamer on the PC. The problems you are having with Virtual Desktop haven't got anything to do with the facebook issue.

Unseul · 4 Oct 2021 at 19:57

Weird that mine shows no internet, but still shows my computer? Maybe my sharing options? Is your computer on the wifi or on LAN? Do you have a dedicated router for your quest? Maybe put it on the general one?

Unseul · 4 Oct 2021 at 20:03

Mel you coming on?
