Virtual Desktop vs. SteamVR

[Gogol69]

Can somebody give me a hint how i can start Raceroom in virtual desktop and not in SteamVR (Pico 4, Win11)? I tried open composite and copying an modified "openvr_api.dll" but nothing works for me...

In VD you are using VDXR or should be, no? For sure dont use Openvr. That is steams old openxr iirc. You would need opencomposite for openxr but not sure about VDXR. I use steamvr on a medium to high end pc using VDXR very nicely. Do you have issues just running steamvr and VDXR that makes you want openxr? Is steamvr technically more than a launcher and home page at all if you use VDXR? Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can help.

Late to party. Same issue on my Pico 4. Every other race rim is fine, but RR not able to get it working with VD.

I have set OpenXR to automatic and launch the game directly from VD
using Quest 3
i hope this helps

How do you know you’re using VDXR if you launch it in SteamVR? On your two thumbsticks status screen bottom left, I see “SteamVR” and not VDXR. So what makes you say you’re running VDXR if you’re launching as SteamVR and the status screen says SteamVR?

Perhaps VDXR is only for the headset to talk to the VD streamer app but you render the game in StreamVR? Just a guess trying to find more info.

I thought it needs higher Direct X version than Raceroom supports?
