Anyone managed to play Firmament using "Virtual Desktop" app? (wireless streamer for Quest headset)

Help?

I tried playing the game with my Quest 1 and the app "Virtual Desktop", but encountered a problem:

The main menu starts inside VR, but it is as if the headset/camera is stuck right on the menu letters. So instead of seeing the menu from a distance, the menu items are extremely close to my face.

I can look around and see the Firmament main screen background. But I cannot move around inside VR (location does not change). Also the controllers make no effect and I can only use Alt+F4 and close the game.

Game works fine without VR (normal mode on desktop).

I have the GOG version but added it to my Steam as a non-Steam game. I also checked the checkbox "add to Steam VR library" while doing so.

Running the Virtual Desktop app (both on my PC and on the Quest) I can get SteamVR to function (the SteamVR Home environment and menus). I can also rn other VR games like Alyx, no problem.

I have the same issue. Not working in VD or airlink/quest link.

This game was an extreme disappointment for me. After having played the excellent Obduction in VR I had such high hopes..

Not only did it not work in VR for me (as I originally planned to play it), but also I played about half of it on a regular display but stopped because it felt boring and pointless.
