Hi, i started playing DCS with VR for the first time yesterday and everything worked fine but today when i play i get blackscreens and the game freezes.
Different from yesterday is that my xbox one wireless controller complained via oculus home app that it was running out of batteries, so i tried turning the controller off and restart the game again.
But still, now that the xbox one wireless controller is shut down i still get random black screen / freeze in the middle of the game after like 5-15 minutes on the runway trying to lift off.
What should i do? am i required to have a functioning xbox one wireless controller to not get these freezes/black screens? i did not need to launch oculus home app with admin settings yesterday.
The only thing different is afterall that the controller went out of power and some keybindings, but i do not have enough usb slots to play and charge at the same time without pulling something else out:(
The oculus home app seems still to work, but the oculus HMD is black but when i look at my computer screen i can see that the game is frozen (not black tho).
Anyone experienced something similar?
I am excited to play DCS again but i was newbie then (1-2 weeks play time) and i am newbie now (2-4h+ play time) and it feels awesome to play with mfg crosswind + wheelstand pro + x55 rhino throttle and stick + oculus rift cv1, i was actually amazed, it is truly amazing to fly :) I am open for gaming chair /gaming cockpit recommendations though. I have a random chair but i need a better one for flight sims / regular computer use (my current one moves around when i use flight pedals a bit and that is a big no-no)
Edit: So i managed to plug something else out so i could charge my xbox one wireless controller and it worked without problems for a few hours! but when i landed and the ship started burning (of course) i went out to the menu and back to "fly again" i pressed that and oculus screen went black. Then to troubleshoot i closed down DCS world and check oculus app and i see a notification that it has trouble finding headset. i closed oculus app too and tried starting it again, worked on desktop but when i check my rift display i see nothing but black, i think i could hear the store but not see anything, so i rebooted computer and it made an awkward sound (rift headphones) on bootup i think, it was a bit scary because it got me thinking that it may be broken? But now when computer finally booted up i started the oculus app again and it works again.
I dunno what it is but for some reason the oculus rift can fail to find the device sometimes, either the HMD or the sensor is having troubles with something i think, the trouble may not even be in DCS World, i have not had this problem with other games though it was a long time i go i tried playing VR with other games (finally getting back to VR now that my mfg crosswind flight pedal + wheelstand pro arrived and i finished setting it up). It may be a load problem, either too much data or too much power requirement? so when reloading the game it goes black, or when the oculus store complains or notifies me about something the computer cannot handle all the stress? It is weird because i never had this problem before, i should not suddenly need a better computer for oculus VR.
I got a standard VR computer i think:
I7 quad core cpu.
Nvidia GTX 980.
16gb ram.
Windows 8.1 x64 bit directX 11.
motherboard to match (prebuilt computer).
SSD hard drives and an extra hdd for passive storage.
