I'm not sure what you mean by "launch oculus home before starting VD"? The quest defaults to oculus home when I start the headset, then I choose VD from my app list. The issue isn't really getting into a steamVR game, those come up in the SVR lobby. I need to access an app I have on Oculus on my PC without opening SteamVR, but right now it auto-opens and takes me to the SVR Home, and I have to exit VD to leave. It becomes a bit of a vicious cycle
Also, I tried "injecting" an .exe through the VD streamer icon, but Medium doesn't appear on the list. It looks like I have to open it directly from the Oculus App.
