    Hi all!

    This is how I start my game since version 25 (24):
    – wake up PC
    – use mouse and monitor to:
    – start VorpX (it doesn’t survive the sleep mode)
    – start Virtual Desktop manager
    – put on headset (with mouse on my lap)
    – Desktop Viewer kicks in and turns on Virtual Monitor
    – change resolution (from “recommended” to my desired resolution)
    – get the Steam window on the virtual monitor
    – start game
    – store away mouse and pick up gamepad

    Is there a chance to shortcut / automate some part of this routine or make it more comfortable?
    How do you guys do it?

    Can I eg. make the VorpX control survive the sleep or start the virtual monitor in the desired resolution?

    Cheers!

    You should be able to automate large parts with a batch file and some command line tool that can change the resolution. An alternative would be AutoHotkey, which can change display resolution itself, I think. Never used it, but many consider it quite useful for Windows automation tasks.

    I’ll add a selection for a preferred virtual display res in one of the next updates. Probably not directly the next, but that sounds like a useful idea.
