Guides How to launch without SteamVR (Performance Increase)

Thank you so much for this! I just upgraded to a beast of a computer to enjoy my girls in VR even better (I have scenes with 4 people that I really like) and for the life of me I can't get the Quest Air link to work in win 11, or the cable either. I spent the whole day Saturday searching the internet looking for a solution and when I went to bed I thought about Steam or Virtual Desktop, I had them before but didn't use them much, as air link was fine in Win 10. This morning, I searched here, found your post downloaded the stuff, made the bat file and BAM! I am in business again!

Many thank for this great guide, since VaM doesn't launch in VR when I use VaM Thin Twin. But now with the bat file, here I am girls !!

Excellent guide, I come back every now and then when I need to redo certain steps/settings.

I am curious, when someone uses Method A, Virtual Desktop, is it possible to somehow edit the VaM keybindings for the controllers?
They are by default extremely horrible for my headset compared to the keybindings steamVR provides by default.

Awesome. Simple and great performance boost. However, you should have Virtual Desktop streamer running before executing the script

I would love a tutorial about "How NOT autostart SteasmVR everytime I open the game" even when I dont want to use the VR set

Works like a charm.

Very helpful. Thank you

Thanks a lot for the instructions!!!

Thx a Lot

Thanks! I was having a hell of a time trying to launch through SteamVR with constant crashes. No more issues after following your guide.

Simple words.I LOVE YOU

Thanks

I have been shopping around for my first ever headset, so this will be very useful for when I finally settle on the one that's right for me. Thanks for this guide.

I was wasting FPS on SteamVR. Thanks for the workaround!

Lots of options. Quick and simple.

Wow!!
thank you! thank you! !
I thought that the virtual desktop was installed and the movement improved considerably, but by starting from the batch file, VR became even more comfortable.
I would like to rate it ☆10 instead of ☆5.

Didn't know about oculus mode existing. Thank you.

You can also just rename the steamvr folder to anything else in the steam install's common-folder.
Then you can start vam by clicking vam button in oculus, and it won't use steamvr, because it thinks it is uninstalled.

谢谢，这确实有用。按照你的教程我花了点时间卸载并安装了Virtual Desktop，不仅帧率提升了，而且VR的整体使用感受也变好了。

It's the small things, thanks for sharing.
