  1. I too have exactly the same issue.. not on the Oculus PTC but version63 has stopped DCS launching, and you can't revert back to an older version as far as i'm aware. Very Frustrating as I soley play DCS and only in VR these days. However if you are willing to go back to 2D I found a get around to get DCS loaded in non-VR mode. You have to rename your saved games DCS folder to something else like 'Temp' and then it'll launch DCS.. it does mean you'll have to set up all your graphics settings etc again unfortunately (unless there's another way to load DCS in non-VR mode). I hope a fix comes out soon!
  2. Ah Dude that sucks, looks like a different issue to mine. My game won't even fully load into the menu. Hopefully a patch will come out soon to resolve these!
  3. Just to join in on this post, I've been having the same Issues - I am not on the meta PTC so cannot roll back and the version is now on the 63.0. I was able to do some troubleshooting and attempted the DCS suggested method of renaming my saved game folder to "Temp". This appeared to have worked (by loading 2D mode) and after selecting to activate VR mode in the VR settings the game attempted restarting but went back to the constant 'crash' at start up.
  4. I wish that was an option for me but airlink is unplayable for me as the router is on the other side of the house. i use the stand alone version of dcs and don’t use steam vr. but yes I’m concerned it’s a component problem, would be strange though, as I’ve never had any issues with my rig and can run the game on screen with over 100fps. I found a YT video of someone saying to improve performance whilst using the link cable to set the priority of the oculus server in the task manager to “high”. Has anyone else tried this?
  5. That’s interesting - I didn’t have my new card before the update so I could only compare to my old 1070ti. I also had a fault free session this afternoon on the Storm of war server - after the update yesterday.. an hour-ish sortie with FPS stable around 36-40. I did restore my nvidia settings in the control panel a couple of days ago and decided to put the ‘prefer maximum performance’ option back on, as well as vsync to ‘fast’, not sure how much that would have helped but who knows! Not sure what your preference is but I also made sure not to turn the mirrors on which could have also save some fps. let’s hope this is a sign of things getting better
  6. Hey @RvL, sorry to hear you’re also having the same problems! (Though I’m glad I’m not alone!). A shame upgrading the psu didn’t work - I’ll save myself some money and not bother. I nearly wondered whether doing a clean install of dcs world would help - but with all the maps and modules I can see that taking a long time! Have you tried rolling your nvidia driver back to and older one? I might give it a go. Do you have the same issue on any other games? I have yet to try but I wonder is it a dcs specific thing.. If you have any luck please let me know and I will if I come up with anything! thanks! Nath
  7. @Flappie So unfortunately I’ve had no luck whatsoever. Deleted fxo and nvidia cache. I also lowered my settings to the vr preset and whilst my FPS were higher after 10 min or so I still had a significant drop to around 20 FPS and horrendous screen tearing. Having spoken to some other DCS users I did wonder whether my PSU is the problem? I do have a three year old Corsair RM650x which is meeting the minimum required for the 3070 card (just), but I’ve not had any other issues, pc crashes etc that would signify a psu issue.. do you really think that would cause a big FPS drop? thanks again for the help
  8. Hi Flappie, Thanks for the message. Attached is the log and dxdiag. I do have msi afterburner so I was will remove and restore the nvidia settings tomorrow (bit too late here now) and give it a go. Fingers crossed Thanks! DxDiag.txt dcs.log
  9. I'm currently having serious issues with performance in VR, just upgraded to a rtx 3070 from a 1070ti and the fps is worse!! I disabled tacview and it made no difference what so ever. But I've experienced similar to Sukebe's OP with horrendous fps drops that don't recover.
  10. So i'm still having some serious issues! I made exceptions in the anti-virus for both the saved games folder and the main game folder on the ssd, I disabled tacview, did a clean install of my driver, didn't have any xbox recording going on in the settings.. AND i did a force "repair" and "cleanup" from the command prompt after having deleted the fxo and metashader2 folder from the saved games location as another thread had mentioned improved performance after doing so.. and yet I get now 20-30fps and then a huge drop to 6 fps in the Storm of war multiplayer server - I was getting better performance from my 1070ti card!! Attached is the game settings and the log from the mission. I am NastyNate in the mission - couldn't get the F10 map to show everyone but wait 10s after starting and then press F1 to view my a/c instead of F2-ing through everyone else.. After I was airbourne in the right hand low level turn it dropped to 6fps in VR but on the replay it looked fine!? Ah can't attach the track file as it's over 5mb
  11. Thanks RosyPlays! Very much appreciate your help. I already have the Nvidia controls set, so I will try the others later when I am able to get on - I do have tacview but like many others I couldn’t ever get it to work properly, but definitely worth a try disabling it. I will probably try them one by one to see if I can source an exact cause. Also thanks for the graphics settings link! I do actually run it fairly similar to your settings, but will have a play with them if I can’t source the problem. Sadly I’m stuck with the link cable as I’m quite far from the router at the moment and airlink for me is unplayable, do you find it better than the cable or just nicer to not be tethered?
  12. Hi, I’m not new to dcs but fairly recently got into vr - quest 2.. and wow what immersion! I’ve just upgraded from a gtx 1070ti to a rtx 3070 and the rest of my specs are as follows: AIO water cooled i5-8600k OC to 4.7 mhz 32gb ram crap loads of storage +2tb of ssd and m.2 nvme ssd. Running the latest dcs open beta 2.7.something or other Anyway to my point.. I’ve made myself familiar with the oculus tray tool having watched some videos and reduced some of my in game settings and when I start a flight, be it multiplayer or single player I get a solid constant 45fps and all is good.. for about 5-10 min and then BAM the FPS drops to 18-21fps and I get horrendous screen tearing and it’s unplayable. There isn’t even a particular event happening at the time of the drop, often just climbing away or flying straight and level, no explosion or anything happen that you would think might cause it and it doesn’t recover back to 45fps, just stays stuck at an unplayable frame rate. No other programs have launched or any other obvious event too. Any ideas/help? or anyone having the same issue?? Thanks! Nath
  13. Just thought i'd add my two cents.. I recently went and upgraded to a new pc and these are some of the specs: i5:8600k Overclocked to 4.5ghz GTX1070ti 16GB 3000mhz RAM (although I too am gonna upgrade that to 32gb) With that I am getting a stable 60fps with most of the graphics settings maxed out on a 1440x2560 screen. But what you'll hear a lot is that DCS is heavily CPU dependant, so getting that core speed up as high as you can will probably see the biggest benefit. Also if you're looking to getting into VR you'll then need to upgrade that GPU.. I do agree on the RAM upgrade - though it never crashes on me I do notice whilst running DCS it does run up most of the available ram. Good luck!
  14. Not sure if i'm being a complete fool, but I haven't been able to complete the 3rd mission (I've tried 5 times with no luck - and haven't been shot down once). I have thoroughly read the briefing (multiple times) and looked at the maps. When I fly the mission the initial waypoints are in the correct position, until I push from point 7. Waypoint 8 is in a far more north westerly direction and when I get to point 9 and once engaged on bandits - switch to 10 it directs me in a southerly direction (from 9) rather than northerly. I looked over mission 4 and noticed it followed the general directions of that mission, but on restarting the mission many times I am 100% sure it was mission 3 I was playing. I have tried restarting the campaign but still had the same problem. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. On a plus note I am loving this campaign and the NTTR map, so thumbs up to ED and the team! Thanks Nathan
  15. Hi I bought the Hawk originally on Steam and have since switched to the stand alone version. But the Hawk doesn't appear on the Beta version. Any ideas how to fix this?
