Thank you for this again. Such a game changer especially with VR headsets
I appreciate the support/comment!
Thanks! This is the only solution I found that works for me and I really appreciate the work you put in.
As a side note, could you add a disclaimer to the older version of this video. I mistakenly used the old instructions for the new driver and it messed up my display settings pretty bad (likely would've been locked out of my system if I didn't have teamviewer). This probably won't happen to most people but it would be a good heads up for anyone with my level of bad reading comprehension.
man you are the goat you just fix too many problems in one solution thank man
Great to hear! I appreciate the kind words. :)
Great as usual!🥰
Thank you! Cheers!
Is there a way to view the virtual display on your primary display? For instance, if I use Teams to share that display, everyone can see it, but I can't. I'd like to have a little window on my primary display that mirrors the virtual display. Is there some way of doing that?
Great video! Quick question. I currently use Moonlight on my steam deck to stream from my PC. I don't use Sunshine, instead I use the Nvidia Gamstream which requires me to have my main display on to stream. Will this mitigate the issue of needing to have my main display on to stream? Does this work with Nvidia Gamestream or Sunshine only?
Should work with any streaming service. Windows treats it like any other monitor. :)
Hi, your content is great !! I installed the HDR driver and create the display with hdr enabled, tried to stream from Host Pc with gamestream to LG C2 first and then to Nvidia Shield pro, sadly no one works, it show some errors,I was very exited to use the display driver .maybe I'm doing something wrong, in the mean time I will return to the dummy plug without HDR
Maybe if you have a video with examples of the full process , because I turn off my main monitor and other things that maybe.are creating the issues
I would like some help to get this to work. I get an encoding error when starting moonlight from my iphone when this driver is my primary display. I have followed all instructions and this simply does not seem to work. I have an i9-14900ks and an rtx-4090. I would like to use moonlight with 3840x2160 120hz with HDR. Running windows 11 pro 23h2.
Thanks for this really great tool 🤜🏻 Although I’m having all colors washed out when using HDR, you know how to fix this?
Same here hdr ia not working
I'm trying to use this as a way to use Moonlight without having my monitor always on. I installed the driver and the display shows up and i can stream with Moonlight just fine on SDR but with HDR the contrast is very high and I can't seem to reconfigure the colors as there is no option to select a color profile in Windows settings and my nVidia control panel doesn't show any settings for configuring the virtual display.
Is there any way to configure the display colors and HDR profile?
For the algorithm! Thanks
Thank you!! Can use all the algo love I can get. lol
Created a custom resolution to perfectly match my phone screen resolution but HDR is not working, while it works fine if I use the base 4k resolution of my first real hdr monitor
-edit: Got it working by using an SDR / HDR switch program that bypasses the display control panel menu, HDR switch for win 11
Sorry to ask a basic question, but since Moonlight and Steam Link allow one to select different resolutions and fps ratres and bit-rates, and will even reconfigure monitor graphics settings and game graphics settings when streaming, how and why does one make use of this driver? Does one configure one's games to match the virtual monitor's resolution when steraming, & reconfigure them when playing directly on one's physical computer/display? Thanks much!
Basically, my 1440p display doesn’t support 4K streaming to my TV. It can only do 1440p. So I use the virtual driver to stream a 4K feed to it. I also use it to mimic my Steam Decks resolution without messing with my main display.
Similarly, if your monitor only supports 60hz, but you’re streaming to a device that supports 120hz, you could run it on the virtual display to get the full 120hz sent even though your monitor doesn’t support it.
@@MikeTheTech - I’ve a beefy gaming PC attached to a TV which supports 4K60. Would there be some advantage to using the driver to create a 1200p120 virtual display for streaming games to my AOKZOE A1 Pro with Rokid Max AR glasses, or just set a custom resolution in the Moonlight client to match it?
Thanks again!
I get the error "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)".
Edit,- This is with the HDR win11. non hdr seems to work fine.
You likely don’t have the required windows update. That often causes the code 31. Can you check for updates and see if there are any hidden?
As Mike tells you in the video, unzip it to c:\ so the options.txt file is in c:\iddsampledriver or you need to upgrad win11 to 23H2(i belive it was), Both problems could give Code31 in my setup.
@@J00sePipe Confirmed this is the case. I messed up initially and installed directly from the Downloads folder and it didn't work. Unzipped and copied to C drive just like the video and it works flawlessly!
What are some uses for a virtual display?
For sunshine/moonlight
Does this work better than qres?
Also if you want hdr on windows 10, do you need hdr-switch instead?
HDR isn't supported on Windows 10, so you would need a different solution like hdr-switch. However, Qres only supports resolutions your monitor supports. This enables more resolutions and refresh rates and can be used in conjunction with qres. :)
@@MikeTheTech luckily my main display is 4k120. All devices used with moonlight are a lesser res.
Do you have any experience with resolutionmatcher instead of using qres? If so does it work better with multiple devices that have different aspect ratios?
Saved me $10 on a dummy HDMI so figure I'll pass it on to you.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support. Glad you’re enjoying the software! :)
great info. How do i use the virtual display with Sunshine/Moonlight? My physical monitor is 3440x1440 and when i stream it can cause problems, so i have to set it to 2560x1440 in windows before i start streaming; which honestly isn't a massive problem.
You can set it in the sunshine configuration under “virtual display sink” I believe.
I don't need to set resolutions I have the virtual display already set to my phone's resolution and just set projection from primary screen only to secondary only (virtual) whenever I want. I use "unexpected keyboard" so I can use any windows shortcuts from alt tabbing to toggling HDR on and off (with meta or windows key + alt + b)
Hi, how can I disable the virtual display while not streaming? And only activate when I stream with Sunshine?
Just go to control panel and turn it off
@@martindescoteaux9288 I found a script to do it faster and it works. But I need to configure it with Sunshine so it triggers when streaming
display 3 not showing brother :(
I got windows 10 so i do everything u said but when i go to display setting i cant edit nothing and it shows it's not connected womp womp...
Did you install the normal or HDR?
@@MikeTheTech the normal non hdr
Can't get it to work in windows 10 sadly, virtual monitor never shows up
Make sure you use the Windows 10 version. The HDR one will not work on 10.
This is absolutely great, liked and subscribed! So I have created a virtual display with the resolution of my phone, now I am on my moonlight app on my phone and I select native which is the resolution that I have created my pc as a virtual display. What do I do from here so that I can automatically use that resolution, instead of the 4k resolution that my tv which is hooked up to my pc via hdmi is running at?
SAME VIDEO THAT YOU DONT EXPLAIN WHAT ARE A VIRTUAL DISPLAY, WHY WE NEED ONE, AND FOR WHAT WE NEED A VIRTUAL DISPLAY, just simple installation that i can follor the docs, no example showing why we need, what it is and for what!
I explain what I use it for at the beginning of the video?
@@MikeTheTech But for example in the video of sunshine you just explain you dont show the Moonlight client and how to know good latency and how to configure properly to be stable, and change a setting and see what happend when IS on and of do you understand me? For example if I got a Game with controller and I disable use controller see what happend, and that for every setting, thats a very good video and we can see it visually do you understand, see the states of every setting, like when you program something, you see the states of every setting of the software
If you're here, you should already know what you need this for. Why are you ranting at the guy for doing exactly what he said he would do?
