@sleighzy Update: I ran SFC and performed cleanup. I haven't disabled XMP or updated the BIOS, as I updated it a few months ago. When I launch from Steam and select OpenXR mode, it crashes even with a clean start. However, if I start in normal mode, it works fine. In Normal, I can also add VAICOM and some input without any issues or crashes. dcs.log-20250412-123823.zip @sleighzy REPORT 2: Since this morning, after countless tests: If I start the game from Steam in normal mode, it opens the in-game launcher. From there, if I select VR, the game starts without crashing. (Praise the Lord!) I can even bring my config/Vaicom file along with me. My guess is that the latest patch might have added some code to direct people to the launcher.

Wow, thank you man!!! I give this a shot. Report back in couple of hours.

dcs.log-20250411-065543.zip @MAXsenna Thank you for your help, here it is.

My game was working almost fine, but now it crashes shortly after launching. I'm using the Steam version, and about 20 seconds after I hit "Play," I get a blue box saying "Unfortunately, the game crashed." I’ve tried deleting all mods and running a file integrity check, but that didn’t help. The only thing that works is deleting the saved files/DCS folder—then the game starts. But as soon as I add back anything like my 20 keybinds or option settings, it crashes again. I'm really tired of going down this rabbit hole, especially when I’ve spent so much time fine-tuning VR settings and configurations. Anyone else been through this or have tips?

That fixed the problem and yes it downloads to D and then moved it to C. Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your effort in helping me! I’ll look into it. I initially thought that if you downloaded a game to the C drive, all the DLC would also be installed there. I didn't know you could have DLC content on a different drive. Since I run DCS in VR, I definitely want all the DLC content on the same drive. I'll test excluding the D drive to verify that it works and then investigate why Steam is splitting DLC across different drives. Cheers!!

No, you can't choose where to install it because DLCs are add-ons to the base game. The game needs to know where the DLC is located, so it must be installed in a predefined location, typically the game's install folder. That's why Steam doesn't give you the option to select an install location.

This is getting out of hand. My DCS Steam directory is on the c drive, but for some reason, when I download the F-14 DLC, it saves to my d drive. That's why my exclusion doesn't work... I don't understand.

Sorry wrote fast, you can see the exact path in my screen print

I'm at that step as well, but I can't get it to work. I added the exclusion to both the DCS folder in Saved Games and Steamapps/DCS. Note that I have the F-14 DLC unchecked. After that, I verified the integrity of the files, then re-enabled the F-14 DLC, but I still get this issue. It feels a bit risky to release it like this..

Very sad! It really kills the immersion with the Tomcat

For me the best way is to start pc, start oculus, connect oculus and pc via link, start DCS from the program sugestions that show up in Oculus. Three things that made DCS playable with vr for me was to turn down texture to medium, no preload radius(100) and 1 in pixel density. No oot, no debug and no shaders and <profanity>.

Tried yesterday, still not working

Mine looks like this, no squelch sound when i push to talk. Nothing happens. Works like a charm in other modules.

Thanks!

Me too, like a white rectangular lower third. No idea what it is. Also sometimes during flights something happens with the pictures it becomes like zoomed in but it aint... or best described to have suddenly very strong glasses everything is a bit zoomed in and blurry. Needs a restart.

Try to drop the preload radius down to 100, huge difference for me.

He wrote -"I find it seems overly large/far away and I have trouble seeing the Altitude/VVI unless I look to the side or up" Mine is just in front of the right eye, dont need to look up or anything therefore i suggested to check that.

Its perfect for me now. Very crisp. Make sure you have it set for your right eye...

Yayayaya fantastic!!! Its crisp and its so fing awsome in VR. NOW

Ok, tried the settings that worked fine with all the other modules and it was absolute slide show with the Apache. STUTTER, STUTTER, STUTTER. Unplayable. Read on the forum that suggested turn down the TEXTURE to medium and PRELOAD RADIUS down to 100. Now butter smooth.

E is not bound to anything what i can find checked all settings. Only way to get a reaction is when im search bar in settings and i push E it becomes space or when im in the modifier its like on the video attached.

Sequence 01.mp4 When i push E on keyboard within DCS it switched to space i guess. Only in DCS. Probably something stupid, please help!!
