Quoting this because I think it's important to note, for those unfamiliar with VR, that this guy installed Virtual Desktop in order to play Star Citizen, and got a "sense of awe" from it. Virtual Desktop is exactly what it says on the tin: a virtual environment in which you can see a flat, 2D representation of your PC's monitor.

Your environment might be in 3D, but your display, alas, is simply a flat screen. (Yes there are ways to do 3D video and get actual 3D, but Star Citizen is not coded in such a way.)

So this guy plays the exact same 2D experience he gets on his ordinary monitor, but with a VR headset, fully bypassing the purpose of VR, claims it gives a "sense of awe" and begins extrapolating his ridiculous experience into what the future of Star Citizen will be when VR is "turned on."

I don't have a VR headset so I am a little lost here. Do you even need to start up a virtual desktop to stream the video to your headset? I thought you just jacked it into one of the HDMI ports and you at least get your screen.
Is this not correct?
Also I don't believe anyone who says they enjoyed playing that in VR. The game makes you motion sick with just a monitor. VR seems like it would be insufferable.

Just call them on it and ask where it went. Might be a clerical error. And remember to thank them profusely for their help, that will lubricate the process.

Also grats on your upcoming refund!
