additional note. Playing an instant action mission in dcs with the f14 i get temps around 87 to 97 with moments at 100c Playing something normal like KCDII I see temps mostly around 75 to 85c at idle doing this its about 50c Seems normal to me as these are temp limited CPUs if Im not mistaken (if needed just crank it up till it hits tjmax)... Let me know what you think and ill try running the stress test longer

OCCT question. With the 13900k running system stress test and ram test im observing temps holding steady at 100c. TJMax for this cpu is listed at 100c and throttling should occur to maintain this temp. This actually appears to be working as I never see temps over 100c. This is water cooled with a 3 fan 420mm rad. Care was taken when installing the block to the CPU. Im using noctua paste. Im assuming these results are expected and normal but i wanted to ask before I let it run too long. Thanks!

@Calvin.Pimax Awesome thank you. Yes I do have the most recent version. I was flying around online just now and I guess luckily it crashed like it normally does but only about 10 min in so I have small crash log zip from just now. @BIGNEWY might be able to find something of use that could assist me with this. Thanks guys! dcs.log-20250929-033057.zip

They are running xmp and its 2x 32mb. OCCT is new to me ill try it out. I usually run prime 95 and memtest

@Calvin.Pimax The tech got back to me with the following " The DCS process exit codes were 3221225477 and 3221226505. In Windows, these codes indicate a memory exception, which suggests that DCS may have encountered a memory-related issue. Could this be due to in-game settings being too high? I recommend reaching out to the game developers and providing them with these exit codes for further assistance I did post this in the "game crash" section of the forums. Do you know who generally would handle a question like this? I dont notice any memory type issues with normal use and I didnt have any crashing issues before with the G2 or the VR1. I dont think the settings are too high Im still getting a very reliable 90fps out of this now since the last update... That has remained constant and there are now 0 performance issues like I had in the past. It run excellent until it crashes. Thanks

@silverdevil I submitted a ticket to Pimax and their system includes automatically uploading a bunch of logs. I got this reply from the tech. "The DCS process exit codes were 3221225477 and 3221226505. In Windows, these codes indicate a memory exception, which suggests that DCS may have encountered a memory-related issue. Could this be due to in-game settings being too high? I recommend reaching out to the game developers and providing them with these exit codes for further assistance" I have 64gb of ddr5. There is no noted system instability outside of dcs and pimax or pimax and halflife alyx which appeared to crash as well. There was no crashing issues with the G2 beyond the normal DCS issues which were very rare. The pimax tech suggested that perhaps a DCS person would know what to do with the "exit" codes I have no idea who might find that useful if anyone at all. It appears to be of little value but if you know or know anyone who might be able to further isolate an issue let me know I can direct that to them. Thanks

DCS appears to freeze. I dont believe the HMD is disconnecting @Calvin.Pimax Thanks!

@Calvin.Pimax Hey Calvin. I tried again tonight and it ran excellent just like last night but this time it did crash. I was hoping there would be a correlation between good performance vs not as good performance as an indicator if it would crash or not. Seems like not. It did run about 30 min this time before it crapped the bed. Not sure why all of a sudden its running better but I'll take it, but it still seems likley to crash. So I guess I still need supports help. The ticket number is #111697

Since I had the super its pretty much just crashed straight away anytime I try to use it. I found that if I leave DFR off and just dial back the resolution it would sometimes be stable enough to get me though a few missions but its just a heavy G2 at that point I would usually get 60 to 70 fps. The last two times I tried to fly like this it crashed after 10 min and then a 2nd time after 25 min. The next day I turned on DFR globally I figured if it was going to crash it might as well look good. I got 70ish fps out of it using the "quality" preset and at least the center of the image was clear... It crashed 10 min later. Today I saw a patch had been released that mentioned something about vr fix or whatever... I figured I would try it for fun to see what It would do. It didn't seem relevant but whatever. I made no changes and was flying online like the last few times on a pretty busy server and was expecting not much to go my way. The first thing I noticed what fps was locked at 90 sitting on the carrier deck on TTI with 4 other jets starting up. Everything was smooth and all the constant spikes I would see on the frame time graph were gone. It was a smooth flat line with maybe a tiny spike once and a while like no more than 1 every 5 to 10 sec. I have not observed this before that I can recall. Took off and flew around for 30 min then landed pretty much locked to 90fps the entire time I might have seen an 80 for a second or two. This is the first time its ever worked this well or worked as expected based on feedback from other users. I have no Idea if its dumb luck and will never happen again or if the patch had something to do with it. I did open a support ticket before this flight haven't heard back from them yet. Im pretty excited that I finally got to experience what I was hoping was possible. Yeah it's as awesome as they say it is. Maybe just maybe it will work again... who knows.

I had the G2 and the VR1 and just now switched to the super. If you want really bad eye tracking use the VR1. With the super i've found eye tracking to be 100% spot on (although using DFR sometimes i feel like it needs to be faster but that could just be less than ideal DFR settings as well) Text looks clear but Ive also noticed the sweet spot on the super is not that good its actually pretty small and does require you get a good fit with the HMD but once fit correctly its quite nice. My big issue is Ive not be able to get the super to run stable and as such a 100% of my time has gone to troubleshooting why it keeps crashing rather than getting to fine tune it for best experience. I did just submit a ticket. did you have any issues with the OG? DId you ever use the G2? Is there a VR headset that does look good to you? what are your computer specs? I have the 13900k and a 4090 I don't have eye prescriptions and still have good eyesight. The super is by far the best looking VR headset ive ever used and Im not noticing any of the issues you've brought up. The grid and text issue is quite surprising to hear. 1) if you close one eye is is better? 2) if the answer to 1 is no then you should be able to photograph this issue with a ph cam or something if you do that can you post the photo? I would like to see this.

Can you run any type of fixed foveated rendering with the crystal light? there isnt a lot of room for improvement i see in your specs without going to a 5090

Im still testing this. I dont use necksafer. Ive had no crashes with HL Alyx or DCS after totally removing all pimax software then putting the PC in safemode and deleting all the leftover pimax folders (I couldnt delete one because it said a file was still in use so thats why safemode) I installed 4.42.1 and made no changes everything stock settings in pimax and as much as possible in DCS. So far I have about 3 flights with about 3 hrs no issues at all with crashing. Ill try to make changes slowly over time and see if any problems pop back up.

cool Thanks for your input!

quick question. I'm not actively looking upgrade anytime soon but the AMD stuff is looking pretty neat. Regarding this post it was suggested that the 9800X3D is faster than 14900K. Which source did you use to arrive at this conclusion and about how much faster do you believe it would perform in DCS VR VS the 14900k? Im also aware that your recommendation is also considering the issues some have reported with the intel CPU vs heat and degradation. Thanks

I'll try starting a ticket
