So want to be able to play be Steam VR games on my Oculus, wirelessly.

Do I just buy Virtual Desktop on the Oculus through the Oculus store (£10 odd), and install a free client on my PC and done?

Or do I need to delve into the realms of side loading, which I've not done yet?
 
You need to side load, plenty of YouTube videos out there showing how.

  • Purchase Virtual Desktop on Oculus Store
  • Install Windows client
  • Side-load the Virtual Desktop streaming add-on.
 
Just trying to do the same...so its £10.49 on the Oculus Store (accessed via PC) and £14.99 on the Oculus Store (accessed via the app on my phone).

Have SideQuest up and running on my PC.

So should I buy Virtual Desktop through my PC or through my phone?
 
£10.49 is the wrong one. Make sure its the right version, the Quest one. I bought the wrong one and had to refund and buy the other. The quest version is £14.99

WRONG, this is the Rift one

CORRECT - This is the quest one

One thing I have noticed is it screws up all my "Fences".

I used Fences to keep all my desktop icons in place. When I come out of Virtual Deskop, they've all been screwed up/moved around abit :/
 
My desktop is 1440p (with my fences all over the top right quarter of the desktop), so when I enter into Virtual Desktop the fences are jiggled around (& I can see that in VD). When I come out it leaves them pixels away from where they were.

Note: I've changed an option in Fences which seems to help return back to their original position, but while in VD, the fences are messed up slightly.
 
uncheck the option that changes the resolution, 1440p works fine in VD
(this was also causing me an issue where the stream would lock to 60fps instead of allowing 72/90hz)

That will only effect the desktop view, and not screw around with the resolution used for VR games?
 
And after a lot of testing, even 1m from my router, I have to say I can detect the different between using VD and Link. And I didn't even notice I'd even put Link into a USB2 socket :)

When trying Toy Box I can detect lag and little stutters in head movement detection with VD. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty reasonable, but my 8m cheap link cable is noticeably better.
