Star Citizen VR - Quick How To Play in VR Guide (works with EAC)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 фев 2022
- Quick how-to guide in getting Star Citizen working with VR in Alpha 3.16 patch with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC). This method does NOT provide stereoscopic 3D experience, which currently cannot be obtained due to VorpX being blocked by EAC. Reshade method is supposed to provide 3D, however based on my measurements, it does not do it either, so we are stuck with this until EAC whitelists VorpX.
NOTE: ONE ITEM I FORGOT TO MENTION - WHEN VIRTUAL DESKTOP LAUNCHES IN YOUR HEADSET, GO TO SETTINGS AND SELECT THE LAST OPTION TO "REMOVE HEADLOCK DELAY"
Install the following tools:
Virtual Desktop: www.vrdesktop.net/
opentrack: github.com/opentrack/opentrac...
SteamVR: store.steampowered.com/app/25...
The 2400x1000 resolution is NO LONGER REQUIRED as of 3.19 for wider FOV enablement.

Any confirmation of this still being a viable option for Quest 3 as well?
RUclips recommended a video from another RUclipsrs video and he showed off your video, so now that I’ve experienced and explained RUclipsception I have come to watch and like your video.
thank ya!
Now why can't CIG use a tiny portion of their never ending money printer to make VR work without all these steps.
amen to that!
Because they service too many people that would complain about something like no motion controllers or full body tracking or some other nonsense... At least, that's my guess. They do have devs that have vowed to get VR sorted native, but Lord knows I've been listening in for a year on that and have only heard reassurances...
@@nazaxprime tech limitation atm. Gen12 renderer is the beginning and once Vulkan is implemented it will be viable to begin implementing native VR support.
@@notoriouspc Tech limitations? I could literally play SC in stereoscopic 3D months ago if hooking wasn't problematic easyanticheat... This isn't really a technical issue.
@@nazaxprime For native support? Yes there is.
I have been trying for months to get vr to work with star citizen. Thank you so much for this video it's made me happier than Christmas morning presents!
Why everybodies working except mine
@@Tattooniac That is because its B.S. Notice everyone in almost all videos say thank you but never say they actually got it working. Check out Citizen Kate video. She actually does a honest review on it. Even though it works, there is a lot of lag and a delay in your head movement. They are only trying to do these videos for likes.
@@anthonygordon9483 can you drop a link?
@@muratylmaz8198 I think she took it down which is sad cause it was the only one that gave a honest review on it. Your using windows desktop which turns your PC into a virtual machine so there is going to be a slight delay. The game has to support a direct feed to your VR to get a seemless experience which shouldnt include no middleware. Star Citizen doesn't support VR so its not as good. To be honest, if it was good as people say it was, I think more citizens would be using it. Best thing to get right now and what most PVPers are using is tobii eye tracker or trackVR which is what they do fully support. They are actually considered a advantage in PVP. If you watch Citizen Kates video you will notice she is using a tobii tracker now.
@@anthonygordon9483 thanks for the reply. Id like to see sc in VR but the its not seamless even with low settings. I can only imagine the problems…
Hey bud, DG360 sent me. Excellent work. I bought an Occulus Rift 4 years ago PURELY for Star Citizen. Was disappointed with Vorpx, this looks fantastic, will def try it out. Cheers
Can you update how it feels? I was disappointed with Vorpx too, not sure I want to go through the trouble installing all these apps for a similar experience
Any update?
beep boop
Seeing you check the restroom in-game, I suddenly realized my next mission... Restroom break in game and out simultaneously.
haha especially fun when you're playing with your friends and need to go while in qt :D
thats unironically the most immersive experience I could think of
did shower ig irl once, i did that fast because i feared to be randomly attacked by players or npcs
Makes sense - I play on the toilet anyways so
Really though finally a video that explains it fast and simple. I wonder what its like with a cable, if any difference.
Just caught this on DaGaimez, would have missed it without his promotion of your video. Will give it a go on my CV1. Definatly subscribing to you. Thank you very much, this is amazing. I doff my Concierge top hat to you Sir.
enjoy - if you have any questions feel free to post here and I'll try to help ya out
Excellent guide and a solid method to get VR to work. I have 2 issues that occur. 1. When I set the ingame resolution to 2080x1960, the game disappears from the virtual desktop, if I tab out of the game i get the desktop back. 2. If I use a different resolution, the options menu is wider than my field of view, and since the view is head locked I cannot access options on either side.
That is very odd that it disappears from virtual desktop when you set the resolution :/ Try 1920x1440 - it is a little too wide, but let's see if it doesn't disappear - also if you want to edit the options turn off the headlock so you can stretch etc first, then turn it on afterwards. I'm happy to help you troubleshoot in real time, join my discord and I'll be more than happy to see if we can get it working well for you: discord.gg/ZtPA4FwvZs
preciate the work. thank you very much
Epic video my dude been looking for a fix
Thank you so much the day I saw anti cheat was the day I realised there was no more VR with VORPX . How the hell do you even figure this out you absolute legend
Pick a wall, bang head in desperation, be relentless. And aventuly it will come to you. Sometimes the stages of grief come to play, but if you persevere, even the nay sayers will have egg on there face, and your linux os will be so costume, that only you will have a os with the components you want. No swapping x environment, greeter, file manager and boot manager is not insane, who cares if i don't have a lick of pc code education, there's a wixi for that, and who cares if its outdated.......
What vere ve talking about?
Oh yah vr and star citizen, just a bit of perseverance gose a long way.
@@akimbofurry2179 eac uses some certificate validation method, its actually insanely easy to disable it, i thought the method i learnt was just for VRChat, nope, all EAC games, even apex and fortnite
Something I'd like to add is that, at least for me with a valve index, your going to have some bad latency between opentrack and the game. This can be minimized by tweaking the filtering in the opentrack app (basically just reduce everything to as low as possible). Even with this step there is enough latency to cause major nausea, however.
that's awesome pointer about tweaking the filtering in opentrack - i get bothered by the latency as well - im going to try your advice and share it with some of the folks on my discord community, many of us have been frustrated by that latency. Feel free to join the discord, it's great to have more people on there who have experimented with different settings and setups - discord.planetwally.com cheers
i felt this only happened with headlock on in virtual desktop, the latency was pretty much instant if i was using virtual desktop just as a big screen infront of me with *normal* head tracking like if it was trackIR
Amazing Video!
hey planet wally sent by DG360, thank you soo much for this help, gonna def try it. SUBSCRIBED AND LIKED
thank ya!!!
@@planetwally do you perhaps know anything about “error occurred while loading tracker oculus rift 1.4.0… had” cannot get open track to start. Thank you
Thank you for making a video showing how to use Star Citizen in virtual reality. The HP Reverb G2 is what I'm using right now. Can you assist me in setting up Star Citizen for my virtual reality headset once I have purchased the game? Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!! This worked for me too!
Awesome, glad to hear!!
Thousand thanks, will give this a try :). Wondering wether you can still get some stereoscopic view in for real 3d. I guess all old methods are not working anymore.
Yah old methods no longer work... you can get some minimal stereoscopic 3d with reshade, but I found it to not make much difference and add latency... let me know if you want to know more and feel free to drop by my discord at discord.planetwally.com
@@planetwally Thanks for your fast reply :-). I just gave it a try using my Quest 1 (will perhaps try it later on other devices). First of all: great idea to get it working this way!
Though there were some problems I got:
1. The screen does not stick in the middle of my view when I click on that button on the upper left. It was difficult to use the left joystick to correct the position of the window. And if I look left and right the screen does not follow the movement now but it has some kind of offset - so if I look to the left the screen gets nearer and to the right it kind of pushes away. This leads to everything looking distortet. This might have to do with me having to center the screen while it is locked to the head. If you have any ideas this would be appreciated! How have you centered the view window?
2. The resolution leads SC to kind of scramble the UI around so it is not centered itself if using the 4:3 one. I have the same problem on my 3:2 laptop. So I guess I stick to 16:9 if this cannot be solved.
Brilliant guide! Thank you!
How do you get Virtual Desktop to pause during inventory usage? The UI is huge and I cant do anything with the inventory without 'Toggle head Lock', however that doesnt work when SC is the focus window/full screen?
Hi handsome. Thank you for your time and video. More videos please.
After following the instructions my controls see the mouse in the bottom right hand corner causing the ship to spin in that direction. Any ideas how to fix?
saw your video on DG360, great job! I have a Valve Index and I want to try this, though I'm curious is it stereoscopic 3d or just a flat image in 360 degrees?
thx! unfortunately the only solution for a true stereoscopic 3d output was via vorpx, which EAC now blocks... I also tried reshade with Depth3D plugin/module that does output 2 separate images and is supposed to create a stereoscopic 3d output, however when I compared the images side by side, there is pretty much no difference, so you are essentially getting the same image output twice with that solution too and it is not too stable either. So in the end I settled for this method, which is not the best option, but really is all we have right now ... another way is to use vorpx desktop instead of virtual desktop, but you get a flat output with that solution too until EAC whitelists vorpx... Now having said that, it isnt as flat looking as you may think - once the image size and resolution is configured well, it really does look quite convincing especially considering you have full 6 degrees of motion.
Instructions unclear, had to use regular Virtual desktop and use its headlock feature inorder to continually see my screen, if i turn off the VR menu i lose sight of everything.
wonder if you can pair this with gimbals. I know you have to hit the free look button to make gimbals free-aim with your free look which disables mouse control of the ship but... theoretically you could do a broadside fly by.
This is awesome! Thanks!
thank ya - feel free to join our discord, we have quite a few folks doing vr with SC - discord.planetwally.com
Will try getting this running on my Reverb G2 and next week when my Quest 3 arrives as well and will leave feedback. If it works I will definitely subscribe.
Mucha sgracias probaré el tutorial .. hace tiempo que buscaba la forma de jugar starcitizen con mi oculus quest 2 :D
de nada! espero que disfrutes
que onda, yo también he tratado de jugar así pero no he podido, no se bien cual es la razón, si logras que funcione me dices pls
CV1 workaround: Set Oculus Runtime 1.4 at input. Instead of double clicking Left System Button, press click Oculus Menu Button on right controller and switch directly back to Virtual Desktop
When i do that steamVr closes and openTrack doesnt get inputs anymore. As i openTrack i get sent to the steamVr screen in the Oculus, and on the pc screen i can see the openTrack working as it should. When i try to minimize SteamVr to go back to VDesktop it stops reading... any ideas?
Hey, I got everything to work, but the is there a way to resize the box to make it bigger? I can see the borders of the screen/box no matter what I do
I don't get any Desktop shown in my VR Headset when I'm starting Virtuale Desktop Streamer. And if I start the Virtual Desktop Application from Steam after the Virtual Desktop Streamer opentrack does not track my movement...
Is there any way I can get this working with my Index? Im not sure if its easier since i have a wired headset but the opentrack doesnt seem to track properly, or atleast where/how i have my basestations setup. it could be the laser based tracking trying to track near my monitor and is casuing issues.
question: is this just a flat screen in front of your eyes, or do you have actual 3d stereoscopic vision?
with current state of easy anti-cheat blocking vorpx, the only way to do vr is unfortunately without stereoscopic 3d - reshade with the depth3d plugin is supposed to provide some depth, but i tested and it really does not, despite projecting two screens... However this method does use virtual desktop's ability to extend the screen 100% of field of view, along with the square resolution and with the locked screen to your eyes will make it feel much more 'real' than i originally expected since it doesnt feel at all like youre just looking at a flat screen in front of you since that screen fully engulfs you and moves with your head in real time.
Cool stuff!
2 questions, does this still work in 3.23? And am I to understand that this merely puts a 2d screen on each eye and doesn't give full depth of field 3d?
How are you viewing the game? Is it the remote desktop desktop view? I am confused how you are getting into the game and viewing it. I have used Vorpx where it launches the game like any other VR game to view. But this guide is viewing the game from a preview of the desktop??
Hi! Loved the guide but i'm having one problem. The thing you cannot show on the video (difficulty i guess) i simply cannot find out. After you fixed resolution ingame, set FOV, and then you refer to using handcontroller to go out to the SteamVR or something and set it so the head freeflows with the camera. How do you do that exactly?
Hey, may you help ? Star citizen doesnt lauch in VR mode, its launch in the square screen and the resolution doesnt permit me to click in the options caus eits zoomed like 20% in.
I mean i stay in the environement and still see the square screen and i'im not in VR in the game
Hope you can hel, best regards
I got stuck at 6:40 I dont see a box pop up when I click above the screen in the virtual desktop
the custom resolution settings are noe not compatible with this display. reconfiger your settings and try again.
Have problems with the resolution.. it stays black..but the tracking works great! You know what i am doing wrong?
Works fine, but the one big issue with a title or game that doesn't support VR is that the image get really flat unfortunately so the deph and distance perception is lost. Let's just hope that VR will be a main thing when the general consumer realizes what they miss out on not having tried VR when it is really well done.
can u do something to show how to add the resolution to user file i have 34 inch and i get the black bars
@6:58 was so funny. I thought i was tripping for a sec.
hahha :D glad you enjoyed the vid!
@@planetwally Thank you! I did, I'm installing a virtual desktop now and giving it a go. I can't wait man!
opentrack doesnt appear when i download it is there an updated version of it. also i can only download the zip file is that the right way?
For some reason Steam VR just keeps crashing after I select Arena Mode. Not really sure why. Love the video though. Super easy to understand.
thanks - that's a bummer, what about the PU, can you get into the PU or does Steam VR crash then too?
You think I could use this tutorial not for star citizen, but for flying choppers in Squad?
Somehow when attempting to set this up I got it to be true VR. Now I can only use the monitor headlock setup
Thanks for identifying the components needed to make this work. But there's a lot of details not included here about getting all of these components working together.
3:15 - How do you connect to the virtual desktop instance? Is this inside SteamVR or on the desktop? Steam doesn't seem to have any awareness of the VDS app. Do I need to purchase the Virtual Desktop utility in steam? Do I need to input the Oculus Username or Viveport ID in the VDS app in the accounts menu on the VDS app?
3:31 - Pressing start on the opentrack app doesn't change the view inside the VR headset at all. I have the input, output and filter set as shown in the video, but it doesn't do anything. The Octopus model track with the head set, but SteamVR didn't lunge anywhere.
If you can provide some additional details, that would be very helpful, thank you.
3:15 - You need to download the VD software on both the PC and inside the headset - the PC download is the VD Streamer: www.vrdesktop.net/ (which will be the one applicable to your headset version) - if you are using the Quest 2 like I am in the video, then you can download the wireless version of the software in the Quest store linked from above. You then install the launcher on your headset and when you specify the correct username in the streamer, then you will be able to connect just by launching first the PC streamer and then the software in your headset. The VD site has full instructions on how to connect and it will be same as what they prescribe.
3:31 - Launching opentrack should not change the view inside the headset, but it should launch steam vr in your headset... not sure why it is not launching for you in the headset but I;m happy to help you troubleshoot on my discord -- discord.planetwally.com
They really need to make it easier to do this.
For sure ... I hope they will support it officially relatively soon, until then we have to tinker and find our own solutions... CIG did mention that they will work on VR once Vulkan and Gen12 renderer are implemented, so we do have a future, but when that future will come is up in the air.
How do I get this running on the quest 3? I can’t find the right res for it I’ve always got huge space around the screen :( Also there is huge lag in game even with a link cable, any help?
Is it possible to use oculus link instead of virtual
desktop?
Not working with my Rift S, nothing is displayed in the headset. The Opentrack tracking is working, I can see the cockpit moving on my monitor when I move the headset, but SC is not displaying in the headset. I already have Virtual Desktop, and Steam Vr installed for a few years, so I know they work fine. All I see in the Rift S is the checkered floor and it says loading, but never displays the game. Any ideas?
Just attempting this myself, yes late entry but, when I use my VR (rift s) in DCS I have a similar problem. Only way to get my video back is to unplug my VR headset, Shut down DCS, video is then projected on the VR lenses as it should be. I think what causes it has something to do with power saving/sleep modes. Preventing the headset from entering sleep mode seems to keep it from happening again. Hope this helps pp in the future.
star citizen has no default vr support? what is this the 90s ? is there a plan for native vr support?
I can't add custom resolutions in my amd software. It says theyre not compatible with my display and wont allow me to save them
OK I was able to create the new res with CRU software and it actually fkin works Its pretty cool. I Use 2160x1000 with my pico 4 and an fov of 115. I tried 2160x2160 first but that setting only allowed me to scale my fov up to about 80 which is unplayable. Thanks for the guide. I wonder now whether this would work for elite dangerous which doesnt work for me when I run it in vr mode but works fine in standard windows
@Planet Wally : instead of Vdesktop can i just use a link cable instead? i don't want to buy virtual desktop on 2 devices
Read the comments, link or air link won't allow you to lock the screen to head location.
I tried this. I am amazed that you found a way, it must have not been easy. I play a lot of VR stuff and also missed VR from ED but I have to say that this method is unusable for me. Again, I think it is cool that you found a way but the distortion + the lag slower response from headmovment is unbearable for me. If you turn your head at a normal look left type speed it can take the camera half a second to catch up. I do not feel comfortable playing like this even though I really miss mining in VR from ED. I will just have to wait till someone finds a distortion / lag free way or till it is nativly supported. Thanx for trying though.
did you 'remove headlock delay' in VD options mate?
When your lag starts , go into steam VR settings and see if it blast the resolution up , and if it does , it will massively could cause distortion and lag ...
Alas, when I launch SC according to your instructions, it does not come up in VR, merely as a stream in VD and 2D. In VR, I see the standard Steam grid nothing else. Got a fix to that?
Hi very good video !! is the head tracking full include position? if I standup, the vision change to my new position? or if I bend my self change the height of vision? thanks :)
Opentrack does provide full 6 degrees of motion tracking - meaning you can spin your head side to side, left and right, tilt left and right, up and down, forward and backward - so yes if you stand up while flying a ship your vision will go up as if your head is tall - SC does limit this to a degree so it is not unrealistic - such as walking around you cant come out of your body lol. Also if you move your chair lets say a foot to the left, you will feel like you're misaligned in your ship, you have to then reset the position to home on your headset/virtual desktop or relaunch opentrack to reset position.
@@planetwally thanks :) I have a MSI gamer notebook with 16gb ram and INVIDIA Gforce RTX and SSD hard drive. do you think the Star Citizen run on my configuration ?
@@MegaControltv sorry to bump in, it will but it's highly recommended that you upgrade to 32gb.
PS. If your thinking of jumping in would be nice if you can use my referral code. Would literally only be my second referral😅
what to do if the custom resolution doesnt fill up screen. I can still see background of Quest
it wont fill by default, you will need to stretch the screen to fit, on the quest you should have an option to stretch on top of the screen when you click on it with your controller (a few options will pop up in the headset above the screen, one is to stretch) dont overstretch it because then you wont see chat and items on the corners.
Interesting, have you also tried VRidge (Riftcat)? That one suggest using just one app instead of three and is also tuned for Quest 2 by default.
i have not - do you know whether it has a head-lock feature? that is key to making this feel real and not like a screen being watched in front of you
@@planetwally I think it might.
Can this work with Hp Reverb G2? What do I need to make it work?
Hi. How do I enable the 360-degree view in the game?
I've pretty got this working on my HTC Vive, but am curious as to how you were able to resize the hud to be in the center of the screen like that?
which HUD? the ship HUD ? feel free to ping me on my discord happy to chat and explain any details
So i cant get virtual desktop to leave steamVR. Iv tried VD streamer and also got the steam classic version but cant get my desktop to just show up on my index. its always the steamVR windows. Anyone know why? I'm using a index so not sure if that makes a difference here.
im not sure what is the 'back' button on the index, but if there is one that is what should get you back into the desktop -- feel free to drop in on my discord and ask maybe someone there knows as there are a few index users there who had it working
Hey, Steam VR Starts with opentrack, but Citizin will not show up in my steam vr view on the headset..
did you minimize steam vr by double clicking the menu button (i show it in the vid) that should minimize it and bring you back to the desktop view
hi op, can we get an updated vod? ty
This is a year old... it doesn't work anymore. I tried it by following you exactly and I get a black screen and have to close the game out... the one time I did get it to work, it wasn't full VR and the graphics was like 1 frame every 20 seconds. I have a 4070TI video card, but the connection to the oculus VR has to be high speed. I'm running 3.1 cable.
Worked for me. But still having some issues. Maybe try different resolutions
Hey there, thank you for the video this is pretty exciting.
I do have a question have you tried to do this with the link cable instead? I was trying to get this up and running with the link cable the metas virtual desktop, I kept running into the issue were I could make the desktop screen any larger.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
hi - yes you can use the link cable but you may need to use the virtual desktop software intended for non wireless headsets - that version of the software has screen controls on the computer itself rather than in the headset - if you need help feel free to jump on my discord and we can help you out
@planetwally Thank you for your reply. I looked for the virtual desktop app on the Meta Quest store but nothing came up. Does it matter that I was using a Meta Quest Pro instead of the Quest 2?
Can't seem to find the option to lock the vr desktop screen to the vr headset. Also can't seem to make custom resolutions with amd software. Please Halp! 🙏
heya - join my discord server and we can jump on voice chat and I can help you out - i dont have an AMD card but we can figure out together how to get the custom res setup and i can show you where to do the head lock. - discord.planetwally.com
i tried this out but as soon as i add headlock on virtual desktop the tracking becomes super laggy to the point of unplayable no idea why, if i dont headlock its really quite smooth and good tracking
DUDE how do you headlock it wouldnt let me made me so annoyed
Where are you at the beginning of the video? I am at 0:49, and I e never seen that before.
All of it is in arena commander, I do all performance testing and any other testing in arena commander since there is no server bottlenecks. You can get to this map by going to free fly and choose this as the map from the two choices, I forgot the exact name.
Is arena commander currently working for you? Mine is messed up. Can choose any ship, and when I launch any of the options it has an error saying something like, Can not load your ship. Have you experienced that before? Know how to fix it?
Thank you so much
i would youse it with virtuel desktop on steam but when i start the opentrack and then go back to virtuel desktop, opentrack stops (the figur dont move anymore) Help pls
are you letting opentrack start steam vr ?
@@planetwally yes i do
i run amd and stil lconfused about the resolution stuff :(
is there a reason to use Virtual Desktop instead of Air Link? is there a critical part of VD that AL doesn't have? I'm asking because AL is very light weight and I've had a lot of success with it and don't want to use another program if I can avoid it, SC is super demanding alone already.
hey Casey - unfortunately I have not been able to get it working with the oculus airlink because i do not see a feature to 'snap the screen to your head' so that when your head moves the screen will awlays stay with your head, instead of having your head move within the screen. If that feature existed in oculus airlink then there would be no need at all to use vd.
@@planetwally thank you!
Great Video! One Question thoo; Do you need Virtual Desktop if u have the Quest Air Link ? that does basicly the same thing ?
yes you do need virtual desktop or vorpx desktop - the reason quest air link wont be enough is that it does not have a feature known as head-lock - which locks the screen to your head that way you let opentrack track your movement and the screen follows your head so you feel like you are in the environment
feel free to join my discord i'll be happy to explain in more detail discord.planetwally.com
does virtual desktop requires constantl internet connection to work? people in steam complaining on that and i think its big problem that is not standalone
honestly not sure because if im playing sc i have to have an internet connection anyway. the only thing that it may need internet connection for is to connect via your account, the video data is not transmited over internet, but rather over your local wifi for wireless headsets and cable for wired headsets.
Opentract wont work with PICO4 glasses. They are connected to Steam VR but when I push launch button in opentract it show me some error message. Do you have any solution for this issue?
check which input is listed on the opentrack interface, let me know here or jump on my discord and i can help you to make sure it is correct one
How the game can be launch in full 360 view actually? When i'm launching the game i just see my screen, like im playing normally.
did you click the button on upper left hand above the screen on your oculus virtual desktop to attach the screen to the headset movement? you need to do that and also click the button on the right top of the screen to resize it to stretch to fully cover your eye - enjoy!
I can't figure out how to make the Virtual Desktop screen track my head.... Followed all steps including the pinned comment... Not sure what to do, please help?
which headset are you using? the headlock is the key feature to enable in vd, for oculus it is above the screen on the headset, for wired headsets the setting is in the windows software, feel free to drop by my discord and we can troubleshoot together
but you will still look on a flat screen, right? you dont get an individual perspective for each eye.
thats correct unfortunately there is no good solution for full stereoscopic 3d right now on SC. The only solution for a true stereoscopic 3d output was via vorpx, which EAC now blocks... I also tried reshade with Depth3D plugin/module that does output 2 separate images and is supposed to create a stereoscopic 3d output, however when I compared the images side by side, there is pretty much no difference, so you are essentially getting the same image output twice with that solution too and it is not too stable either. So in the end I settled for this
May be a dumb question. I have a Quest 2 and the link cable connected to my PC. Do I still need to buy the $20 Virtual Desktop program to get this to work with Star Citizen? I can see my desktop using SteamVR or the Oculus software. And I installed the PC version of the streaming software you linked to, but it doesn't seem to do anything when I start it up.
yah unfortunately the oculus software doesnt have the features you need, hence the virtual desktop software. hop on my discord and ill explain more - discord.planetwally.com
@@planetwally So I do have to buy the $20 Virtual Desktop software to run on the Oculus, in addition to installing the free software on my PC? That part isn't made clear on the video.
hey, im kinda struggling atm to setup my pico4. i got the game to accept it but resolution is weird, view not centred .. only tried the available resolutions tho, since I couldnt create a 2160x2160 resolution because AMD software says its not an available resolution for my monitor ( G9, 5120x1440 ).. anyone with an idea for a work around ?
not sure how AMD handles adding resolutions that are not supported by the monitor - nvidia has an option to add it and just pops up a dialog box saying that it is not supported by the monitor .... you can still test this out and play with it by using a resolution like 1920x1080, you will have slight bars on top and bottom which is a bit annoying but better than nothing - make sure to enable headlock with no delay that is the most important setting.

I keep getting an error wheni launch Open Track, It says, The code execution cannot proceed because SDL2.dll was not found? it says to reinstall the program, What program is that though?
Hm so SDL is Simple Directmedia Layer - look at this link appuals.com/fix-sdl2-dll-missing/ - if this doesnt help feel free to hop onto my discord and lets see if we can figure it out: discord.gg/ZtPA4FwvZs
I cannot get this to work. I installed everything and the head tracking works but I can only play Star Citizen in Virtual Desktop mode not in full VR. Am I missing something?
happy to look into your setup - feel free to join my discord discord.planetwally.com and I'll take a look at it with you
Couldn't see where to add the custom resolution in the USER file in the LIVE folder of Star Citizen
I actually don't recommend doing that until folks first get things working with the res just added to your NVIDIA or AMD settings - adding them to the USER file makes the game start in a specific resolution - which does not need to be done, you can just change it in options. There is an indirect 'trick' to get wider view by having the game start in the 2400x1000 resolution, then switching to the 2080x1960 resolution in settings and SC will preserve a wider field of view, but honestly that is a bit too confusing and the benefit is not really worth the trouble, hence why I omitted it to keep the video shorter and less confusing.
@@planetwally shoot, halfway through the setup, I was looking at your video description again and read all of your opening paragraph. This does not provide a stereoscopic view? WTF is the point!? I've got TrackIR already, haha. Bubble bursted hardcore, I should have read all of that paragraph before diving in 🤣but thanks for making the process easy enough although I was stuck looking at the game in the VR theater room🤘
Would this work for oculus 3? Or are there adjustments needed?
This is so cool! Could you use your Q2 controllers to play or no?!
Honestly I have not tried it - I know virtual desktop has some way to transfer data from the controllers, but i have dual joystick setup already so I did no research into it.
i suppose you could get touch controllers to work but it would only function as an xbox or ps controller, you wouldnt be able to move your hands like you can in vr games. subnautica vr is a good example of this.
Hi, I haven't heard about it, do I have to buy the virtual desktop app on the Quest store that costs 19$? Thanks
yes unfortunately vd is not free :(
So got my oculus rift out from under my dust cover to try and set this up for star citizen. But the Virtual desktop App is not available on the rift store at all :S
they have a separate version for wired headsets which has slighly different setup - visit their site and you will see the 2 options (quest and non quest) - feel free to join my discord ill be happy to help you out discord.planetwally.com
Wow!
this was horrible for me XD i couldnt get the screen to fit correctly and even when it was the tracking was god aweful, even with the octopus set directly in the middle and facing the right direction as soon as i got into game it took a massive dump. on top of performance being dropped by 99%, i cant even go back and fix my resolution bc its non responsive to my mouse now
does this method still work ? I am thinking of getting a pico 4 and want to play SC is vr. thanks
yes still works - if you get the pico 4, jump on my discord and we can get it working together, im also very curious as to how it will be on the pico 4 since that's an awesome headset! discord.planetwally.com
I get everything working, but my screen UI looks super zoomed in :(
If I try higher resolution like 3440x1440 this fixes it, but now I feel like I'm looking at monitor in front of me.
(Note using pico 4 with 2160×2160 resolution, maby thats the issue?) Does it matter what resolution is in windows? or only the one in game?
join my discord and we can chat about how to best address - you may be able to play with the zoom and curve options since you have the VD for wired headsets and it has some extra controls to manipulate that. The windows resolution doesnt matter as long as you have the proper res as custom res available to SC and you load that after u start the game - happy to help you more on discord: discord.planetwally.com
@@planetwally Yeah I joined there :) For anyone seeing this, Maximum curve setting seems to look a lot better than no curve, at least for me.
Anyone finding this video after getting the quest 3 and managed to figure out the correct settings?
I always have a error code from opentrack : Error occurred while loading tracker Oculus Rift runtime 1.4.0 -- HMD
ovr_Create: No HMD attached.
So the octopus dont move
this sounds like you are not connected to virtual desktop - is the virtual desktop service running on your computer and have you logged iinto it from the headset?
@@planetwally yes i am. i open dirtual desktom before like you. than my quest2, steam vr, reduce steam vr, open track and the squid fuck-up.....
@@grattion104 yes the whole reason he uses steamvr is so you can use it to track in opentrack, so use the Valve SteamVR input. The input you are using works with cablelink.
Nice idea ... but I think I will wait unitl official support is out. :)
i open the streamer app and then the virtual desktop app in occulus, but i only see a settings menu in VR , no desktop, how do i see the desktop?
love your username heh - what headset are you using?
@@planetwally no worries I got it to work! I had vorpX running. Silly me. 😂
might be possible to get stereoscopic 3d with depth3d reshade shader
indeed I tried, but the effect was basically not perceivable :(
Got opentrack running etc, im only getting output on my headset through steam VR nothing else - my head moves on pankake but i cant see it in headset any ideas?
have you tried double clicking the left controller menu button to minimize steam vr? let me know if that works, if not happy to help you over discord
