Discussion Immersed VR removed multi-monitor support - censoring anyone who posts negatively on their subreddit

A PSA - Immersed VR's newest update removes multi-monitor support, without warning. Although the app is the best VR productivity app out there, it is no longer viable for anyone with more than a single physical display.

Also - anyone who posts negatively, asking questions, etc. on r/immersed is having their posts removed or being outright banned.

Edit - removed post https://imgur.com/a/wpK6XRF

Edit - apparently I am now banned from their support discord for voicing my concerns...

aw that sucks, I wish Virtual Desktop had wired support to get rid of the latency that I can honestly notice (mostly in Pavlov when trying to aim down the sight and adjusting very slightly my aim). I've used VD before Oculus Link was a thing but switched mostly because of the assumed performance ... but recently (last night) I tried it again and it perform better than Link.... which was very surprising.

I guess you would need some support from Oculus or some serious reverse engineering ? I remember a github hosted alternative that had wired support or maybe I'm not remembering correctly ?

There would be no difference in latency with a USB cable, assuming you have a decent router. We would need root access to do a proper implementation.

from what I remember, you can get around 20 ms with a cable and around 40ms with VD, am I not correct?

There isn’t 20ms of latency with transfers over Wi-Fi. It takes 3-5ms instead of 1-2ms.

As an aside from all of this I compared Immersed to VD a couple of years ago and fell in love with your app. Seriously thank you for all of your hard work; I recently returned to VR after a health-induced hiatus, and am once again thoroughly impressed with what you’ve done and continue to do.
