VR Without Steam (game bought in Frontier Store)
- Thread starter TheShrike
- Start date
I bought mine from frontier directly as well, and there wasn't anything special needed to make it work in VR beyond making sure it was working under steam.
I've played in VR with the Rift CV1 and two different WMR headsets, all of them worked via the SteamVR system from just launching the game as normal from outside Steam and making sure the display in game was set to the HMD.
Only thing you will need to do is make sure that Unknown Sources are allowed in Oculus Home's preferences (I'm assuming that the quest uses that software).
Settings > General > Unknown Sources
Once that is enabled, the game should start up in one of the 3D modes. You can check those settings in the game from the menus
Options > Controls > Graphics > 3D (click the + sign next to that setting)

hi,
i assume the OP wants to play wireless, because that possibility is one of the benefits of the quest.
and that seems indeed to be tricky.
of course, also an owner of a quest, despite many attemps, until now, i never
was able to play wireless ED with the quest.
even though i believe there is in fact the possibility to do this,
from what i have heard (but unfortunately forgot where i heard it
.
maybe there is someone, who knows and can tell?
greetings

Hi, Thanks for all your reactions.
Meanwhile I found out that:
-Ocules Quest in combination with Oculus Link works by installing OculusSetup and enable "Unknown Sources", like Faded Glory specified. => No Steam required.
-Wireless works perfect but for that you need to have Steam (get key asLutzBY describes) / Virtual Desktop / and a bit of sideloading.
Prerequisites:
-An official copy of Elite Dangerous
-An official copy of Virtual Desktop from the Quest store, installed on your quest
I used side: https://jacksonhowell.co.uk/how-to-...p-sideloaded-shadow-remote-gaming-pc-steamvr/ with some changes:

- Install Steam
- Get a Elite dangerous key at the frontier store and enter it in steam: https://www.frontierstore.net/frontier_partnerkeys/
- Dowload Virtual Desktop APK and sideload it to your quest:
- Get the apk from the virtual desktop developer: https://github.com/guygodin/VirtualDesktop/releases
- Set yourself up as a developer: https://dashboard.oculus.com/
- Enable developer mode (via quest app on your phone)
- sideload the APK to your quest. Actually I used
Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WbRIWfaClE and drag-dropped the apk into the streaming window
- Go to https://www.vrdesktop.net and install the client on your PC with Quest/Oculus username.
Note: enable “Cloud Computing” in the dialog box for the Virtual Desktop. - Grab your quest, run Virtual Desktop app. It will find your PC, and you are ready to play
I've an account I play using a pc and rift s. But my partner has a quest. We tried the cable thing it worked but laggy and low res.
Router no doubt.
So cos we're out in the boonies I was hoping i could install a new account of ed on the quest itself..is it possible? Scuse the ignorance Google seemed out of date.
