#No fling on virtual desktop

Id like to be able to play on virtual desktop as it looks so much better than air link but it seems there's virtually no fling.

on air link I can flick my wrist, on VD I'm having to full force throw to get full fling.

Is there anyway of fixing this?

Airlink looks so washed out and blurry by comparison.

Is the game starting with steamVR ? How do you open the game? Over steam or in the games tab in VD?

I get the same issue everytime I try to run the game via steamVR. Its been like this for atleast a year for me.

Opening the game in the games tab in VD opens it without steamVR. So it works just fine for me, except the horrible lag that BB refuses to fix ofcourse.

I've got it on steam and oculus

#

have tried them all, all different ways

cobalt jacinth
#

I have tried every method, VD, airlink, link with cable. SteamVR is always the cause for that. If the game runs with it, so you can open the steamVR menu ingame and see overlays and all that stuff. The fling is almost non existent.

#

I remember it being fixed for a short time maybe a month ago. I think they updated their OpenXR version or something like that. Broke VD tho so it got rolled back.

would be ncie for it to work, it looks great

#

Do you get no fling at all? When i get the issue there is still fling, its just very weak und unreliable

small pagoda
#

yeah very weak, like imagine I'm throwing a ball at the floor full pelt to get full fling. where same thing is a flick of the wrist on air link

#

just can't play competitive when it's like that

cobalt jacinth
#

Well only fix for me was not running steamVR. Cant really help if its happening all the time

small pagoda
#

strange one

#

so yours is working the same as air link?

#

so you can flick your wrist and get full fling?

cobalt jacinth
#

#

always launching via games tab

this isnt a VD issue. Welcome to pop pc. where the fling training wheels that quest has dont extist. i have both. quest stand alone feels like it helps you fling. on pc it fells heavier.

It absolutely is a VD thing. It also has nothing to do with steam.VD has high tracking latency. You notice it in any game that requires fast hand movements.Try something like beat saber on vd and then on airlink. Airlink is much better when it comes to tracking latency, Link cable is better airlink, and a true displayport headset like valve index is even better than that.

#

yeah air link is fine

cobalt jacinth
#

Well, I don't experience that. Fling is same on airlink, vd and even standalone. Except if I run it via steamVR

small pagoda
#

lot of people saying that

#

I noticed no difference in fling between standalone and Stream with VD but you absolutely have to launch it through the Virtual Desktop Games Menu. Launching the game any other way (using the steam runtime) exposes massive incompatibilities.

Pcvr has never had fling the same as standalone, hubby who only plays standalone cannot play pcvr at all due to this . I haven’t ever played standalone so I suppose don’t miss what I’ve never had I’m just turtle climb and changed my playstyle to fit this

#

Well I’m talking pcvr meaning steam version , not the oculus version

small pagoda
#

yeah I use steam on air link

wispy briar
#

The oculus version and steam version are different but always have been , you can do some advanced ovr settings to help with playspace mover but it is not the same fling as standalone players have

small pagoda
#

it's just VD that's broken

#

what do you use to play?

wispy briar
#

Ahh I have to play steam /virtual desktop as play on cloud computer so cannot do airlink

cobalt jacinth
#

seems like its different for everyone, just as I said fine for me on VD if launched through games tab

small pagoda
cobalt jacinth
#

Idk if it makes a difference, but I always play on 120hz. But depending on hardware not everyone can do it

#

Also router is directly wired to pc to minimize latency

small pagoda
#

mines the same for both

@wispy briar Dude if you're playing on a cloud computer you don't get to complain about anything not working correctly. You may as well be trying to game on a raspberry pi.

#

Rude , but hey , whatever.I don’t think the specs are too shabby for my raspberry pi

My quest has been collecting dust for a year but only ever had issues with fling when launching the game incorrectly with VD. No issues on Pico 4 either. I do run 90hz so maybe that's something.
