This made my game play so much better but now I have a problem. When I try to join any multiplayer game it will load and get through the progress bar, then it just crashes right to WMR. Is this happening to anyone else? How do you fix this?

This worked. I had to close the oculus programs through task manager. But now when i run DCS from the shortcut, it loads into VR. Task manager confirms that Steamvr is not loaded at all, and dcs shows it's also using opencomposit. It must be working.

Ok, so you have the steam version of this game? How do you launch the game? I don't have a "Launch in Openxr mode" option, do you just select open steam edition or select open steamvr version? Did this even work to help improve your game? I assume you have the steam version since you said you re-downloaded everything from steam.

I guess I just need to check something first. I can't get clean/repair to work. My version of DCS World was purchased on Steam. This explains how to get SteamVR out of the picture, so am I correct to assume the standalone version also used steamvr? Is this OpenXR not actually compatible with the steam version of this game and all of you that have successfully gotten this to work are all on stand alone? Has anyone that purchased this game on steam gotten this openxr to work? I can't figure out how to re-calibrate my headset because it's not in this guide so I'll have to look up another tutorial just to figure that out. But, how would I even launch the game? I used to load WMR and in vr I would open steam and click on "Launch steamvr in steam VR Mode" There is no Openxr mode listed, there is only play dcs world steam edition, launch steamvr and launch oculusvr. So does this not even work with this version of DCS or do I have to create a desktop shortcut from the exe and edit the command line or something?

I really want to give this a try but I get stuck right at the beginning. I can not clean or repair DCS World. Is this because I bought the game on Steam? When i try to repair using that Skatezilla program, it says the updater is corrupt. So I downloaded an updater directly from ed and that one doesn't work either, it says it "can't exactly find the install folder" and when I confirm it is correct it doesn't do anything, then the Repair option never becomes available. Am I supposed to go into steam and "Verify integrity of game files" instead of repair/clean? If not, do I really have to re-install nearly 200 gigs just to test this mod? Why can't it just have an install script like normal programs? Does this forum have a search function that works on a per thread basis? This thread is already 40+ pages deep and I'd like to search for "Can not clean"

If I recall the only things special were running it as admin and I think you were supposed to backup a lua file before you start because there's a modified file that allows the saving of progress for the campaign, but there's some sort of warning about vulnerability so you would want to switch the LUA file back to the original one if you play online multiplayer on public servers.

I have not read through the thread but I'm certain my suggestion will have been mentioned several times. I would say DCS Liberation. It's like a persistent campaign with front lines that move, you can play single or multi player, it has a nice GUI to setup scenerios. Prior to this, I would use DCS like a sandbox game, just fly around shooting down planes and blowing up ground targets. I'd get bored and turn it off quickly. Liberation brings pushing enemy lines and capturing bases into it and it saves progress as you go. It makes this awesome sandbox sim into a game.

I honestly don't believe it's going to provide much of a noticeable difference. That 3090 card is built for workstations, no gaming application is using 24gigs of Vram right now. Maybe in the future but I doubt anytime soon, no dev is going to devote time to a feature for a demographic of almost none since only enthusiasts pay upwards of $700+ for video cards. I was going to get the 3080 but the damn thing sold out in seconds, the same thing happened to that 3090 card. I'd be a fool to think the same thing won't happen with the 3070 card. The unprecedented demand Nvidia says they were not expecting are opportunists using bots to snag everything up and resale for a ripoff on the secondary marked, so I'll just upgrade this old ass 1070 to a 2080 and start saving for a 3080 again. By the time stock stabilizes, I'll have either saved the money again or ED will have completed the upgrade to Vulkan, either way those 3000 series cards won't be available anytime soon.

Really? Having to wait an additional day or two for a publishers game to become available on a 3rd party system to which they have no control is akin to being treated as a second class citizen?

Steam Surcharge? Are you paying a fee to USE steam?

Can you ask them probing questions like "Do we have to wait for our point of contact to come back from his/her vacation before you approve this?"

Come on Steam, hurry up and approve this so we can buy it. I hope they don't have to wait for their point of contact to get back from vacation before it goes up.

Why would you want this if you already have Touch Controllers on the Rift? Is it because it's convenient since it's on a ring finger so you don't have to grab an entire controller? It seems like it would be easier to use since most people are going to play this game with a Hotas and if it's on a ring finger you wouldn't have to try and grab an entire controller. Is mouse pointing an issue in VR? I thought it was fine with touch and the pointer system. Either way I think you are making an incredibly cool peripheral, I personally can't justify the cost because the only place I might actually use it is in this game and my existing controllers can probably already do what your device does...

Are they working on the engine as we speak? Or is Vulkan already implemented into the current engine? I was under the impression that DCS was on a really old outdated engine and the switch to Vulkan would be a game changer. I don't notice a difference at all since I started playing it.

Thanks for the help everyone. Steam said All I have to do is go to re-install the game and point to the directory it's already installed on and it'll just re-verify everything. The problem is that this game is so huge it takes it's on dedicated hard drive. I only bought a puny 250 GB SSD. So when I try to point to it, it doesn't pass because there's not enough room left on the drive to do the install even though it's not going to install anything. This all became such a huge pain in the ass, I just erased the entire DCS folder and re-downloaded it. It took a while,but not too long. By the time it all finally got installed and updated, I was too exhausted to even play the game. I still haven't loaded it, I just hope steam doesn't uninstall it again. I'll probably get on this weekend, I forgot how much time flight simming takes...
