Apollo Virtual Display issues

I have had streaming working pretty well for a while. But recently the virtual display functionality doesn't seem to work/start via Apollo. Whenever I connect a session via moonlight (SteamOS and xbox) I get my main monitor 1 desktop running at 1440p instead of the virtual 4k one.

  • I have always create virtual display checked for both clients.
  • I have a 4k Display mode override set.
  • I have tried checking the headless option.
  • I see a third monitor (either steam machine or legacy moonli for xbox) in the windows display settings. But it "isn't active" even when connected via moonlight.
  • I have cleared my monitor cache by deleting the registry as per this link

I can't say I remember changing anything before it stopped working and was wondering if anyone had ideas to fix the virtual display function.

Do you have an Nvidia 50x0 GPU? Did you install the 616.56 Nvidia driver? If so, you need to roll back to the previous version.

I’m on 4060 and I have issue with my session.
Could be the nvidia driver or I moved to vibepollo.
Just roll back my nvidia driver, will test and see.
Sucks that I need to power off my pc to restart as I can’t connect back my session.

Note: never happened to me when I was using Apollo > moonlight and old nvidia driver in 1 year +
