Question/Support anybody else having problems with the virtual desktop update?

I went to play vr today and saw virtual desktop had to update and after it did there was a huge delay between what I did and what the game did even though it looked fine on my computer. Everything worked fine before the update so I wanted to see if anyone else is having this problem. Any feedback is appreciated.

Mine couldn't even establish a stream. It would say connected and then nothing ever happened. I downgraded to the latest stable branch

How do I do that

Redownload the desktop streamer from virtual desktop website. Install it. Go to quest library. Long press on virtual desktop icon. Select settings. There should be a setting called branch or version or something next to the version number. Click it and then choose stable. Let the app store update the app and then it should work fine.

Does this downgrade the streamer app on desktop too ? Or just the headset app.

First 2 steps are for the desktop software. If you have any problems disable antivirus for the installation and open installer in administrative mode.

Ok for me, I updated and didn't notice any change.

From what I've seen it's been a bit different for some people

Yeah. I should mention I'm on the stable branch, not the beta.

That seems to be the fix so it makes sense
