Posting this here for anyone who uses Virtual Desktop. I just updated to the newest 1.30.3 Beta version and the change in video quality is quite impressive. Scenes in games with foliage or that used to have terrible artifacting now look substantially better. Played some games with it and the results are wild, off distance objects now look great and games that used to have numerous issues now look so much better. You should definitely upgrade to the new version and try it out, I certainly wasn't disappointed!

Does this app function with the link cable or does it require Wi-Fi?

I understand there are two versions. The one for wifi or cable are different. Most comments I see, if you have good GPU and 6E wifi, its just as good of better. I have a 1080Ti and Wifi 5...image could be better, but very playable. I tried using cable with regular Oculus, didnt like it.

Were you using a fiber optic usb cable or regular cable?

It was this one, rated well for this use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0948R58F2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

It was more of "let's try it for fun".....did not want to spend too much (US$17). Still have it in the drawers somewhere.
It was rated well and seems to have the bandwidth...even increased the rate with debug tool, but did not see any noticeable improvement. Maybe 1080Ti couldnt keep up.

1.32.13 update borked my PC yesterday. I noticed the update actually was really really slow in progressing but didn't think that much about it until I tried to launch afterburner later on for some non-Vr gaming. When I tried to launch afterburner it said I was missing MFC 140.dll. Needless to say that ended up being a pain in the butt to finally figure out what was going on, but the short version of the story is that I repaired Microsoft visual c++ from the ad remove programs.

Okay, so I was no longer getting that error message but afterburner was just showing zero for everything. I uninstalled and reinstalled but still was getting all zeros as if it did not even recognize gpu. So once again do more research and it turns out I just need to DDU the drivers and completely reinstall them. Now everything is back to normal after about two freaking hours of aggravation. But there is almost no doubt in my mind that it had to be from the virtual desktop update because afterburner worked just fine about an hour before I updated the virtual desktop app.
 
It's probably just a coincidence. I don't think VD touches any of that, it should only be updating itself.

I updated without any issues.
 
That's one unbelievably strange coincidence then. I have never had a video card driver get corrupted. I have never had a file like that go missing. And I've never had Riva tuner break like that. So something somewhere broke the video card driver causing those issues. And again everything was working around 1 hour before I did the update for virtual desktop and that is the only thing that changed. I mean if you think about it looking in the device manager and virtual desktop is right there underneath your video card so it seems like some kind of conflict could happen. I'll look on their discord later but I doubt anybody else had such a strange issue.
