Hey guys,

I was wondering if you could launch vr games while using the virtual desktop app, Eg, not games that are in oculus home such as assetto corsa, iracing and steam elite dangerous.

Thanks

Yes you can, with some like assetto corsa you need the screen largish so you can see the menu. Still need oculus home open in the background though.
A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.

Does it go back to Virtual Desktop when you exit the other VR application?
Does it work with both Oculus Store and Steam versions?

I would like to use it precisely for Assetto Corsa.

Thanks!

late reply but no it does not. Actually it rarely ever goes back to virtual desktop when exiting a VR game. Completely defeats the point of it's very existence.
Developer doesn't seem interested in updating it.
I'd get a refund if I was you.

?? Sometimes it don't go back to Virtual Desktop, sometimes, and if it didn't, just hit the back button of your Oculus Remote to got the Universal Menu and return to Virtual Desktop. I use it for Asseto Corsa, and other VR applications.
