The Memory Integrity setting was enabled on my machine so I turned that off. Also, after many tries of disabling Virtualization, I finally figured out it was enabled through my BIOS. So I disabled it there turned off the lock framerate setting in Pimax Play but I still received a crash. It took over 5 minutes to crash but it still did. I think I'll stick with locking the framerate setting. The logs are attached if you need them. Thanks again. dcs.log dcs.log-20241222-002437.zip

Hi @Flappie, I've been busy but I have been testing. For the last few days I have been able to figure out the issue. If I enable the "Lock to Half Framerate" option in Pimax Play DCS runs perfectly. In fact, it's more smoother locked at 45. The debugger shows I'm CPU Bound in red and my frametimes graph is much more stable. Not spiking all over the place. Not sure why I need this setting but it could be a combo of Windows 11, DCS, & Pimax issue. Hopefully all those bug reports I submitted to ED can help the devs. Previously, I did disable Process Lasso, but that did not work. Now I have disabled it since it does not look like I need it any longer. Also, you mentioned the logs showed my VPM was active but I did not see that in my Windows Features. Regardless, I'm glad I finally figured this out. Thank you for your time and effort in helping me get to this solution.

Hi @Flappie, so I uninstalled my gfx drivers using DDU and installed the latest version 566.36. Also, uninstalled and reinstalled PimaxPlay's latest client version. I restarted after each install just in case. I was able to fly for about 6 minutes before DCS crashed. New logs are attached. Any idea when this post is going to be moved to the appropriate thread? dcs.log-20241215-164511.zip

Hi @Flappie, I reset my bios but I still received a crash but with a report. I do not see a DX error in this one. Is there anything you can see with your expertise? In the meantime, I'll continue with the other steps. Please see log zip attached. dcs.log-20241215-062548.zip

Thank you @Flappie. I will try these as soon as possible and report back.

Hi @Flappie, Crash To Desktop(CTD). Sometimes DCS crashes to desktop without the crash log report prompt and sometimes it crashes where I am able to send the crash report to ED. The Pimax software is still running after DCS crashes. dcs.log-20241212-035429.zip

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately for me this did not work. It CTD as soon as I loaded into the Apache and took off. There was an Pimax Play update that I was hoping would fix my issue but it did not. I also tried the Low preset again and I was able to fly a little over 5 minutes before it CTD with no crash log prompt.

The initial PD change did not work. DCS crashed as soon as I was in the aircraft. So I set the DCS gfx settings to the Low preset and was able to fly longer. So I put all my settings back but turned off MSAA and Rain Droplets. In multiple tests, I was able to fly longer and I thought I figured out the issue but I had another crash in a longer flight. Log file attached. Playing on Low preset is not an option. dcs.log

Oh duh. I'll try 1.0 and retest. Thanks again.

Thanks for your reply. I am unsure where that Pimax image quality setting is located but DCS PD setting is set 1. Also, I do not play any other game besides DCS. I will try to lower my DCS gfx settings and retest report back later.

Thanks for your reply. There were quite a few HIDs still checked so I unchecked them and retested, but as soon as I loaded into the Apache a CTD occurred.

Hi All, I just recently received my PCL and unfortunately, for me I am having a hard time getting it to work with DCS. After days of figuring out how to get the PCL to connect with the latest PimaxPlay software(ver 1.35.01.01), I cannot play DCS for more than 2 minutes before it CTD. Sometimes it crashes as soon as the aircraft loads. This does not happen in 2D. I've sent many DCS logs via the auto bug report option and performed a slow repair. All of my drivers are up to date on my Windows 11 machine. Please help me figure this out. When it works I'm satisfied with the PCL, but this has not been a good first impression at all. So I may have to return it. Please let me know what other info is needed to help resolve this issue. Thanks in advance!!! my-pimax.zip my-pimax1.zip my-pimaxclient.zip my-pimaxota.zip my-steamvr.zip dcs.log

Great news. Just in time for my new PCL. Still tweaking but enjoying it so far.

I just started setting up my new PCL and when I try to use this setting I get the Disconnect issue. I have to remove the settings in the profile.json in order to get connected again.

FINALLYYYY a multi-select tool.

Are y'all just trying to get your post count up?

It does work for me in the Apache in VR. It takes a little while for the effect to be seen tho.

I also did notice them working in VR in the Apache. It actually takes a little while to work. Seems like when you turn on the wipers there's a graphical layer on the windshield that's clear and in the shape of the wiper's movement. If you turn them on Lo setting and off really quick multiple times you can see the effect. So they're not literally wiping the rain away. However, it's still needed in other aircraft. Also, I hope they can optimize the rain more. It produces the worse frames.

Seems like if animations are required, it takes ED a while to get completed, unfortunately. Maybe they don't have motion capture.

which model size is not correct since a Humvee suppose to fit? Even if it was allowed to go up, the Humvee was too big to fit.

Great find @Devil 505. I haven't heard or seen anything about this before. Bad PR by ED because this is the type of features I look for in modules. Need something like this in the SuperCarrier. Hopefully this is the first fruits of walking up to the aircraft. Thank you ED for adding this.

Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't know the update was available yet.

I didn't know about the new Light Rain presets. In the air, they look cool and weird at the same time. You see all these little pockets of rain in the distance. lol. I like the direction they're taking the rain effects, but it's killing my fps in VR. But I'll take it tho. It took them over 3 years to even get the new rain effects working in VR. I'm not seeing much difference between the Low/High rain effect options on high rain presets.

I had this issue before as well, but I cannot reproduce it again.

Still no new infantry models.
