PERFECT That worked. Thanks for your help!!!

Just got the HP Reverb 2 coming from the Rift S. Was worried until I used BigNewey's setting recommendations. Only issue I'm having is getting the view within the cockpit straight and oriented. I have searched everywhere and cannot find anything that has worked. This has been the biggest disappointment so far. I'm sure I doing something wrong in WMR or SteamVR, but I cannot believe that they put these out without a intuitive way to adjust. My eye level is below the dash (F18) and sitting so far back that if I move my head up the view goes into the seat cushion. I have IPD in game set to 64-66 which feels right. Just can't get the screen or cockpit to be oriented. FYI....I have set boundary in WMR several times drawing a boundary and center in seated mode. Any help would be appreciated.

Fresh Install DCS & Window-Still Crashing So I took a few days off to get away from the frustration of everything I've tried to do for countless hours over the past couple of weeks. Yesterday I did a fresh install of windows and DCS hoping I would have a chance to fly more than 5-10 minutes. With nothing but DCS, Oculus software and Windows on this machine....the frustration continues. Once again...can anyone take a look at this log and make any determination of where to start? This is a new machine. Have ran every benchmark suggested fixes I can think of. I just want find out if it's a hardware or software issue. PLEASE....anyone dcs.log-20180405-005934.zip

I'm trying to identify the source of this crash. I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, ran stress test and benchmarks. Can anyone look at mile crash log and point me in a direction? I have MSI Afterburner....see screenshots of when the crash happens. I had this issue with 2.5 and decided to fresh download 1.5 and live with it but I'm still have the issue. Have no idea what else I can do or what specifically to look for.

I ve ran a few thing VR in the rift software. I’ve ran PCmark, 3D mark, VR Mark and gaming. All pass either scores 90% + avg. GPU temps have not been high. 67c at time of crashes No overclocking No blue screens, just game freezes and pop up informing of crash Downloaded only from DCS site...4 times actually Have not tried to test memory. Do you have a utility you recommend to do so? I have ran some games in Oculus software w no problem. Don’t have any other games loaded. Is there a game recommended to try that would put it through a test? Thanks for your input. I’m willing to try anything at this point.

Crash Update-Frustration So I have updated and reinstalled drivers, checked GPU temp, ran benchmarks, reinstalled DCS twice, ran clean and repair several times, turned off antivirus, run as admin, you name it. I have spent countless hours reading the forum, sending crash report to tech support (only to get the same advice I've read and already tried. I've installed on another machine with same results. I've spoke with Nvidia tech support and cleared my video card as an issue. I have a friend who is a coder for IBM who I sent a crash report to. He's not familiar with DCS but his comment was..... "The one single thing that points to this being a software issue is that call to a d3d API with an invalid argument (parameter). I know if I call a program but don't pass the correct parameters, that's exactly what I'd expect to see. I don't know what that means, but I've come to the conclusion the issue has to be in the software related. Looking at the trend of how many post have been made regarding the software freezing/crashing issue. I've read a ton of things to try but I haven't read one where there was a solution or fix. I hope DCS is looking at the forum and what seems to be a pretty consistent and common issue. I love it for 5, 10 and 15 minutes at a time. But the frustration has got the best of me. Hopefully they are looking at the forum because there is definitely a trend. My machine specs should be more than enough to handle. The frustration is that I have quite a bit invested in this and there in no where to turn. You can't really go to tech support, they direct you to the forum. The forum has seems to have really great people willing to help, but after trying everything suggested, there is now were else to go. Basically your brand new $2000+ rig running nothing but the OS and DCS with no mods simply can't execute....Sorry. For now, I have no choice but to throw in the towel and hope that they can make this more stable.

Thanks for hanging with me. I’ll give that a try in a bit

Still no Luck Not sure what to do here. I used DDU to uninstall GPU drivers and reinstalled most up to date drivers. Which what was what tech support recommended on a ticket I created. Freshly loaded Open Beta 2.5 today and still getting the crashes. Tried to see if 1.5 would work any better with the fresh driver updates and having same result. Very frustrating since this is a new machine I purchased to primarily run DCS. Lots of $$ invested to not be able to get more than 5-10 min without a crash in 1.5 or 2.5. Attached are the most recent logs from crashes in 1.5 and 2.5. Any other thoughts or advice anyone might have that could possibly diagnose what is happening from the crash logs would GREATLY be appreciated

Thanks for your help. I've tweaked a bunch and tried what BigNewy suggested several times. Actually just uninstalled 2.5 and reinstalled 1.5 and have had no issues. I guess I will stick with 1.5 for now. 2.5 is just not working for me. If it is on my end or issues with my GPU drivers wound't those same issues happen for me in 1.5? Just hate to start messing with anything to deep on my machine if it's issues with the beta 2.5

FYI....I created a fresh games folder and then ran another cleanup and repair. It downloaded some files and went through the process. Looked great and was able to get in and fly longer than I ever have. Thought I was good to go, but then it crashed again. Tried again and was able to get about 20-30 minutes in and a freeze/crash. Did the fresh folder, cleanup, and repair process again. Still getting the same results. When and if you have a moment to see if you have any other thoughts or advice from looking at the crash log, I would appreciate. Thanks again!!

Thanks so much for the quick reply! I have ran a cleanup and repair several times. I’ll. Try again to make sure I’m completing all steps. As for missions, basically I can go sometimes in training for 5 or 10 minutes. In a basic “create fast mission” with nothing customized....just hitting fly, I can’t get off the ground.

Hello All....Fresh noob here. Looking at the threads there seems to be a lot of crashes. So hopefully this is being worked on ED. I am have experienced a crashes every time I try training or quick mission. Being new thought I'd post the crash log just in case there is something on my end. I wouldn't know where to start or looking at the log, so I thought I'd post the zip for someone way smarter and experienced than me to take a look at and see if there is something I can do on my end. Much appreciated for any help or tips you can share. Love this sim and really wanting to learn, but not being able to move forward with crashes is frustrating to say the least. HELP.....Please! dcs.log-20180325-222029.zip
