I hadn’t used Vorpx for several months but after coming back and updating, I now have to right click on the vorpx icon to enable the virtual monitor anytime I use desktop viewer. I know it’s not a huge deal but I didn’t have to do that previously and I’d like to have the old default behavior. I found another post about this when I searched and I know you said that it’s disabled for causing problems, but it never did for me. In fact, the current behavior causes issues for me if I forget to enable the virtual monitor before I start a game. For whatever reason, without the virtual monitor enabled, I’m unable to access my task bar or even tab to my browser (which I do often, as I listen to podcasts and such as I play my games). A few minutes ago, I had to close out of a game because of this.
In short, is it possible to have the virtual monitor turn on automatically with the start of desktop viewer?
That’s actually what it is supposed to do per default, i.e. with the ‘Activate when you put on your headset’ option checked in the config app on the Virtual Monitor page. Should work with any headset that has an activity sensor (which probably means all headsets).
Caveat: that only applies to the desktop viewer, not to launching games directly since any monitor has to be active on game launch for games to detect it properly.
I pretty much always start desktop viewer while already wearing the headset, so I guess that’s the problem? I use it while using air link on my quest 3, mainly for its ability to converge images made by the Tridef program (older stereoscopic program that works with older games not supported by vorpx).
