Man….sometimes people want to vent. Let them do it. It’s frustrating. Yeah, you CAN play in 2d…but for people like me who don’t have a track IR anymore, it blows. Yeah, there are work arounds but they don’t work for everyone. It doesn’t matter whose fault it is, it frustrating that there has been a fix for over a week but we can’t get it. Maybe there’s a good reason but that doesn’t make it any less annoying. if I’ve been looking forward to my 3-day weekend on a Florida beach for a year and when I get there, it rains all three days, I’m entitled to be frustrated and grumble. Doesn’t matter that it’s no one’s fault.

The workarounds don’t work for everyone. Second, I don’t care whose “fault” it is; according to Meta, it’s ED’s issue to fix and ED does has a fix for it. So yeah, for those of us that can’t use the workarounds, we don’t play and that’s frustrating when it’s been weeks. im sure ED and BigNewy understand why we are frustrated…we aren’t hurting their feelings or something. It’s a legit gripe and -as long as it’s civil- there’s nothing wrong with people voicing their displeasure at something on the forums. If you don’t want to hear it, don’t read the thread

I can’t begin to express my frustration at this issue that has been here for weeks… and the fact that we can’t get any kind of hot fix. I understand the workaround are there for some but they don’t work for me. I get Errors so I’m stuck waiting for a patch that is now delayed for another week. I don’t understand why we can’t just fix this one issue outside of the patch

Because you have “VR enabled” on the in game menus. There is a post back in the thread telling you what file you can open to change it

Yeah. I saw that but I’m hesitant to start messing with files. I don’t really know what I’m doing. I don’t mind pancake for now

Yes, this is an identified work around. You are playing through SteamVR instead of Oculus VR. I know for me at least, the drop in performance makes it a no go. I don’t love 2d mode but I’ll play pancake until - hopefully for the love of god- Tuesday when the patch comes out (can’t see it coming out on the weekend or Monday). Gives me a chance to enjoy the better graphics AND the ability to actually spot and identify enemy ground units in my Hind for once!

Habit. Sometime I think that answer is thrown in there b/c there have been several times I had an issue, gotten the “sorry…all Ok on our end” only to see a “fix” days later in a patch or to see the bug confirmed BUT….thank you! That’s why I post even if I don’t have a track. Many times someone on here knows what I did wrong or the issue even if I’m told “can’t reproduce”.

I know the CCIP/CCRP system with the hornet has been an issue in the past but I’m still having major issues and -before I post a track file- I’m interested in whether others are as well. playing an instant action mission w/hot start. Modern day (so GPS and no INS issue). I have mk82SE but dropping in Freefall mode. I see the target out in front and designate it with the HUD “meatball”. I move the designator more precisely onto the target building and press TDC Depress again. By the time the timer counts down and releases the bombs, I am WELL past the target. Like, I’m flying over the designated point when the timer is still at 10 seconds. I tried multiple times to undesignate and redesignate other targets but it always releases when I’m well past (I tried CCIP and even dropping at low altitude, it was also inaccurate but that could be the retarded bombs in FF mode ) I’ve been flying the hornet since 2019. I don’t have any issues when I designate the target with a TGP or WPDSG. I can drive tacks in the F-16 and I’ve also cleared my FXO & Metashader files but I’ve always had this issue. hiw about you guys? Any idea if I’m doing something wrong?

How do you download these files? I click “download”, it says “zipping files” and nothing happens. I don’t get any options where to download it or where it went

Well, I was hoping for a patch today but that doesn’t seem likely since Bignewy said he hopes to let us know the patch release date soon. So that means at least another 4 days. I know it’s pointless to ask….but it makes me feel a little bit better: can we PLEASE get a hotfix for this outside of the gameplay patch if that is at all possible???

I own both and - along with the F-14 and Mirage 2000k fly them a lot. But sometimes I want to fly a Mi-24 hind. Other times I’m in a WW2 mood. When the F-4 comes out. I’ll be into that. Can’t fly only 2 planes for 6 years!

Not as many as some; about 15 (not including the FC-3 pack). I don’t really ever fly 4 of them (mirage F1, Mig 19, Mig 15, f-86) but the others I do…in “bursts” depending on mood. But trust me, there are a lot of people who have invested more than me. So I figure that we should get a lot more room to yell and complian over stuff like this compared to a regular $50 game

Well, according to steam, the value of all of the modules, maps, etc you can purchase is like $3500. So yeah, figure about 15 modules, all of the maps and probably over a dozen campaigns…it adds up. That’s not including the VR/HOTAS/pedals crap.

I have to agree. When I developed the problem Tuesday night, I was suprised to learn that this had been a known issue for a month (saw a post from mid February). Not sure if they didn’t put out a hot fox long ago b/c the oculus update was still in beta or what but yeah….could have put something out it was a bit surprising to see that this was a known issue, see how prevalent it has become and still be here days/weeks later waiting for a fix so we can actually play the game BUT….I KNOW ED is working hard on it and I can’t imagine them holding onto a fix unless they had to. That said, we can all agree it’s frustrating not knowing anything. So….here’s hoping the patch comes out tomorrow so I can play the game that Steam says I’ve given over $1,000 to ED to play. Can’t do Steam VR. Performance is horrid

The steam VR thing works for most of us. The problem is the performance is absolutely horrible, so it’s a no go for me. Others I think are still having trouble with it.

Things get heated when people can’t play; especially when many of us have paid over $1,000 into all the modules/maps. BUT…ED is going to do what they feel is best and that’s that. They know we are upset, they know there’s a lot of us, they know what they need to do to fix it…and no amount of screaming and yelling and gnashing of teeth is going to make any difference. if they could just “release a hot fix “they would have it’s obviously something more complicated than that; I assume anyway

Updated to beta on quest. No change. i did get VR working setting SteamVR as openXR but without the Oculus software and OTT (with openxr) performance is bad. Makes me realize how much OTT and open XR outside of SteamVR is: night and day. so…back to pancake

I did that. I couldn’t get it to work. It launched but my display was just an aircraft hangar and no menu. Same screen i get on my desktop when I take my goggles off. My error to be sure but nevertheless. I’ll give it a shot again later

I haven’t been able to get the “force oculus” thing to work. Not sure about the performance if I did. I’ll have to go into the config file and set VR enable to false so it will load; and I’ll play pancake until a fix thanks BigNewy….that makes sense Qcumber: at work now, I’ll see when I get home. It updates automatically so I can’t see why I wouldn’t have the newest; unless there is a beta that you can download if selected

That’s really disappointing. I’d hope that if there was a large segment of the customer base that couldn’t use their product, ED would release a hotfix and not make people wait until whenever a patch comes out. Maybe it’s more complicated than that. Dunno Maybe the patch will come out tomorrow? I don’t know a damned thing about software and I’m sure ED will do their best….but It sucks not being able to use something I have put $1,000s or dollars into for sure.

Yep. It was whatever updated today. I thought it was 63 going stable from beta. My oculus app on the PC updated, then my headset. Then…nuthin seems BigNewy has a good handle on the issue though. He says it’s something to do with the new Oculus download. Meta’s answer is “if the game you’re playing won’t work with the new Oculus software, that is the game developers fault”: which is a bit off putting but whatever. I have ALOT more faith in ED fixing it than I do Meta

Did it change your oculus Home Screen from the 3 windows to two?

Ugh/ ok Did the new Oculus update change the what you see in your headset when you run the oculus App and turn on headset? on another note, I tried setting SteamVR as the opemXR instead of oculus but my headset wouldn’t put me in the game…no menu just the inside of a hanger. Not sure that helps a damn thing but whatever i finally had 2 hours to play today for the first time in awile. No wife, no kids….and no f’ing luck

Thank you. I think I’ll just stop messing with settings for now until the fix. I don’t understand the whole “openXR” vs “steamVR”, stuff. I open oculus, OTT, steam, turn on my headset, confirm boundary, enable link, click “play” on steam DCS scream (with mouse) and it goes. That’s all I know

It won’t likely work. Meta put out a notice (and ED confirmed) that the version 63 update won’t work with DCS openXR. personally, the new oculus update messed up more than DCS. Now, when I start up oculus, it asks me to confirm my boundary and then I get a notice about signing in. I have to unplug my link and plug back in to get the “enable link” option. Just classic example of “fixing” something that was working just fine
