    [RESOLVED]VR issue :(

    in VR Bugs

    Posted

    !!SOLVED!!

     

    OK, I managed to solve my problem.

     

    I did a number of things, I can't tell you specifically what it was that fixed the problem, but I guess start from the least impacting change to you and work down the list.

     

    Firstly I disabled Windows Update from installing Drivers in the future. (I suspect this was the problem)

     

    - Run gpedit.msc
- Browse to "Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update"
- Find setting called "Do not include drivers with Windows Update" and enable it.
- Restart you PC

     

     

    1. I re-installed my motherboard USB 3.1 drivers, due to Windows Update Driver being installed

     

    2. Cleared the "metashaders2" & "fxo" from Saved Games\DCS.openbeta

     

    3. I updated my video card drivers to 436.30 (clean install), due to Windows Update Driver being installed

     

    4. After driver install I set Low Latency Mode to "On"

     

    5. Disabled MalwareBytes from scanning DCS Folder

     

    6. I uninstalled oculus software and re-installed it.

     

    7. Updated my m/b BIOS to the latest version

     

    The issue only occurred in DCS, I have since played a number of hours without a single issue both in single and multiplayer.

     

    I hope what I have suggested works for you.

    Hint: Create folder Scripts in server home folder: Saved Games\%DCS_Dedicated_Server%\Scripts

    and create in that folder file dedicatedServer.lua

    with text:

     

    Code:

    net.set_name('your desired server player name')

    local res = net.start_server(serverSettings)

    if res ~= 0 then

    log.write('Dedicated Server', log.DEBUG, 'Failed to start server with code: ', res)

    end

    Cheers

    This doesnt appear to work with the Dedicated Server. I followed the information given, but I suspect there is some step that was omitted.

     

    Any help would be appreciated

    Also might try a Repair of the Oculus software, download the installer for Rift and when launched choose repair. All your settings/saved games in Oculus stay in tact.

    Sometimes this can fix odd issues.

     

    good call, I will give it a go shortly and get back to you if this fixes the problem.

    Hi

     

    I dont have the Rift S to check sorry, is it a tracking issue with the rift S?

     

    Do you have enough light in the room, it can help sometimes.

     

    Yeah room is well lit, that was something i noticed when i first got the Rift S, that the tracking is dogshit without the lights on. Good suggestion though. :thumbup:

    Hi guys,

     

    I am getting an issue with the latest Beta of DCS World (2.5.5.35461).

     

    The issue I am experiencing is an intermittent hitching followed by an Oculus Re-center (often outside of my vehicle)

     

    I have checked my drivers are all up to date, other games seem to work without issue.

     

    The performance is butter smooth except for when the game hitches. Sometimes it doesn't reset the center point, other times it does. It happens both in Multiplayer and in Single Player.

     

    System Specs are:

     

    CPU: i7-5930K

    M/B: Asus X99-Deluxe (BIOS ver. 3902)

    RAM: 128GB - Corsair Dominator Platinum CMD128GX4M8A2666C15

    Video Card: EVGA RTX 2080 Ti XC Hybrid Gaming (11G-P4-2384)

    VR: Oculus Rift S

    Controls: Warthog Stick & Throttle, CH Pedals

    Hi Skatezilla,

     

    How do you want bug reports sent through. Your app has been working great until a .net update came through today and now the GUI Updater wont launch at all.

    DCS World Updater Unattend a.k.a. Silent

    in Multiplayer

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    As dedicated Servers are becoming easier to use the updater seems to be in need of some love. I am trying to find out if the dcs_updater.exe has a silent unattended execution method, I have a powershell script executing the "dcs_update.exe update @openbeta" command but when it finds a new version it prompts me to install it.

     

    Here is my current work around.

     

    update_DCS.ps1

    //////////////////////////////

    $DCS_BIN = "G:\Games\DCS World\bin"

    #Modification of any of the below lines cound produce undesirable effects

    #Script by OzDeaDMeaT, work around script until dcs_updater.exe has silent mode

    $DCS_Updater = "$DCS_BIN\dcs_updater.exe"

    $currentLOC = get-location

    $Pwrshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell;

    set-location $DCS_BIN

    .\DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta

    write-host "Waiting 15 Seconds for Check Update Window to complete check"

    sleep 15;

    write-host "Looking for DCS Updater Window: " -nonewline

    $Pwrshell.AppActivate('DCS Updater')

    sleep 1;

    write-host "Key Press ~"

    $Pwrshell.SendKeys('~')

     

    $contLoop = $true

    $working = 0

    while ($contLoop) {

    #This grabs the current tick count for the busy process

    sleep 30;

    $ticks = (get-process | where-Object {$_.Path -eq $DCS_Updater} | select TotalProcessorTime | Sort-Object TotalProcessorTime -Descending)[0].TotalProcessorTime.ticks

    if ($ticks -gt $working) {

    #Process is still working, update $working tick count

    $working = $ticks

    write-host "DCS Updater Ticks = $working"

    }

    else {

    write-host "Job Done, total completed ticks: $ticks"

    $contLoop = $false

    }

    }

    sleep 5;

    write-host "Key Press ~"

    $Pwrshell.SendKeys('~')

    set-location $currentLOC

    //////////////////////////////

     

    This script is required to be run in GUI mode as there is no silent way to execute the updater. Can you please address this?

     

    Regards,

    Dynamic Aircraft Slot

    in Mission Editor

    Posted

    Is there a way to change the aircraft designated to a slot in Multiplayer while the mission is running?

     

    What I am wondering is if there is a way to give an Airfield a # of aircraft and allow players to select a slot and then the aircraft to be spawned in that slot. And once the slot is spawned t removes 1 air-frame from the airfields pool.

    Great Product... But

     

    Thnx for making a great program. My friend and I have Advanced and we cant get RTT working with our Server. It works locally but not from other machines. Any help would be appreciated. Have posted an issue on GitHub and also on the TACView Forums.

    We can telnet to the 42674 port so we know its not a network issue.

     

    Look forward to any help you can provide.

    The instructions say to edit a file that does not exist. ""Config/Twitch2DCSConfig.lua""

     

    It isnt in the Package to install either.

    Oculus Rift Help, game won't load VR even when forced

    in Virtual Reality

    Posted

    !!SOLVED!!

     

    Righto, after a peer review and an entire day of trouble shooting.

     

    I removed the second video card and everything came up 100%. I wasn't satisfied that I would essentially have a Titan sitting in a box beside the computer I tried to work out what the issue was further. It seems that all I needed was a second HDMI port on card 1. My Titan X Pascal only has 1 HDMI port so after a quick visit to OfficeWorks to buy a passive adapter from DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 it all came up good, even with SLI enabled now.

     

    I think the issue was that I was trying to use the second cards HDMI port and that may have had some strange memory sharing or something going on.

     

    This was trouble shot after a complete windows rebuild and after having the same symptoms I had to know why it was ONLY DCS that wasn't working in VR.

     

    Although I didn't get to the root cause, I hope this helps someone in the future troubleshoot VR issues with there rig.

     

    Thank you all for your help.

    Oculus Rift Help, game won't load VR even when forced

    Posted

    Hi guys,

     

    Long time reader, only posted a few times. I am having difficulty loading a fresh install of DCS into VR mode. For some reason the game continually loads into the standard menu except it is truncated to a more rift like aspect ratio. This is a fresh install of DCS, I have loaded the game into engine once as I thought it might be a shaders issue but apparently not.

     

    Oculus works fine on the demo stuff so it seems to be an issue just with DCS. I have tried the force VR commandline dcs.exe and the same non-Hangar menu is presented to me.

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
