I haven't used VAM in a while and I'm having a problem getting it to go into VR mode.

This use to work for me, but now I'm using Virtual Desktop with a Quest 3. I previously used a Quest 2 with Virtual Desktop without problems, but I've reinstalled VAM on the computer and can't get it into VR.

I've tried using a .bat file, but nothing is working. I always get VAM in a floating window inside my Quest 3.
 
Here is my process:
1) Start "VirtualDesktop" in Windows.
2) Start "VirtualDesktop" in Quest 3
3) Start VaM in the floating PC desktop inside the Quest with the following ways:
  • Click on main "Vam.exe" icon - floating window, doesn't go into VR
  • Click on .bat file that contains: "START "VaM" VaM.exe -vrmode OpenVR" - floating window, doesn't go into VR
  • Click on .bat file that contains: "START "VaM" VaM.exe -vrmode oculus" - floating window, doesn't go into VR
  • Click on .bat file that contains: "C:\Program Files\Virtual Desktop Streamer\VirtualDesktop.Streamer.exe" "C:\Users\bob\OneDrive\Desktop\VaM\VaM.exe" - This finally worked and launched into VR mode inside headset.

Hope this helps others that still struggle with this.
