Launching SA ver from Oculus library crash.(starts fine from desktop) in VR Bugs Posted October 7, 2018 · Edited October 7, 2018 by Shabazan ***Edit*** Seems Oculus automatic shortcut added the command line as launch option and i totally missed that.. (thought it was the actual shortcut) i removed the text from launch options - game loads fine :music_whistling: Hello all, Launching the standalone version of DCS using the start menu shortcut, loads the game fine both in VR and desktop mode. When i try starting it directly from Oculus library, the game exits to desktop as soon as the graphics load. The Oculus automatically created shortcut directed to: "E:\Games\DCS World\bin\dcs.exe" I tried changing it to match the start menu shortcut: "E:\Games\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" The issue persists. I compared both logs: 1. Successful - Running the game in VR from the desktop shortcut. 2. Failed - Running the game in VR from the Oculus library shortcut. Both logs are practically the same - only 1 more line exists in the successful attempt: UIBASERENDERER: Cannot load font [E:\Games\DCS World\dxgui\skins\fonts\]! (both attached) Until now I used DCS free content through Steam and it worked as expected: 1. Launching from Steam - the game launcher allowed choice of VR or desktop version. 2. Launching directly from the automatically created Oculus library shortcut, loaded into VR using Oculus SDK (no steam VR). I wanted to go in with one of the purchasable modules and decided to use the Standalone version but now i am stumped by this one.

Hello all,
Launching the standalone version of DCS using the start menu shortcut, loads the game fine both in VR and desktop mode.
When i try starting it directly from Oculus library, the game exits to desktop as soon as the graphics load.
The Oculus automatically created shortcut directed to:
"E:\Games\DCS World\bin\dcs.exe"
I tried changing it to match the start menu shortcut:
"E:\Games\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe"
The issue persists.
I compared both logs:
1. Successful - Running the game in VR from the desktop shortcut.
2. Failed - Running the game in VR from the Oculus library shortcut.
Both logs are practically the same - only 1 more line exists in the successful attempt:
UIBASERENDERER: Cannot load font [E:\Games\DCS World\dxgui\skins\fonts\]!

Until now I used DCS free content through Steam and it worked as expected:
1. Launching from Steam - the game launcher allowed choice of VR or desktop version.
2. Launching directly from the automatically created Oculus library shortcut, loaded into VR using Oculus SDK (no steam VR).
I wanted to go in with one of the purchasable modules and decided to use the Standalone version but now i am stumped by this one.
