Steam VR crashes in DCS after latest update

Is anyone else having issues with steam vr crashing everytime within five minutes of loading DCS since the latest Steam VR update? Any game within steam works fine just DCS out of steam, it had worked fine for months before the last update on 31 Jan. (I have opened a ticket with Steam)

Try SteamVR experimental build maybe? (Properties of SteamVR in Steam library)

Good idea but I have also tried it and its the same with steam beta.

Would like to revive this thread as I spent about an hour troubleshooting the same exact issue last night. Eventually restarting my pc forced a steam update and I THINK that fixed it. I also updated a Windows 10 patch so that may have fixed it also. Cheers

You use the fpsVR? It's broken after the last update, if it is loaded the SteamVR crashs after 5 minutes.

With fpsVR off it still behaves exactly the same. (SteamVR crashes)

This is what i posted in another post to this issue.

Happens to me too with the newest DCS Update.

 

Tested with the SteamVR Stable and Beta on the Valve Index.

 

On Syria SteamVR randomly crashes and once yesterday on Caucasus it happened while closing the mission and returning to the main menu.

 

 

While on Syria I had the Taks-Manager running in the background and checked the RAM usage after the crash and in the on case I looked at it the RAM usage was 32GB of 32GB before crashing.

 

 

Maybe some kind of Memory Leak???? Or just bad luck with this Version of the Syria Map (Beta).

 

Every other VR Game runs fine.

 

CPU: Intel i7 5930k@4.4GHz

RAM: 32GB DRR4@2400MHz (in Quad Channel mode)

MoBo: Asus X99 Deluxe

GPU: Asus Strix RTX 2080Ti@2GHz

Nvidia Driver Version: 452.06

 

DCS has its own SSD. A Samsung 860 EVO 1TB. The SSD is cached with an 250GB M.2 SSD Cache.

I do not have this issue. Using Valve Index myself. Using standard SteamVR and having zero crashes.

I'm having this issue, Valve Index as well using latest NVidia drivers. The error code is -203, does that track what others are seeing? RedeyeStorm are you using latest nvidia drivers? Maybe a rollback could help.

I will say it only seems to happen on missions that are pretty heavy. For example a mission generated by the DCS liberation campaign will do it. We loaded up a fairly dense one and I crashed maybe 4x pretty frequently until we cleared some of the units.

I will check which drivers I am using. Will report back.

I am using 451.48. I am using DCS campaigns a lot and I those missions have lot of birds in the sky as well. No issues. I am talking 6 B52's 6 F14, 8 F18's, 2 tankers, 1x E2c, 6 su25T, 6 Tu22, 6 Su24, 4 Mig 31's, 1x A50, 6x Mig 29's and 4x Su27. Not to mention a lot of sam systems and ships.

Also reported this here

Uninstalled/reinstalled SteamVR and haven't had the issue since. I see SteamVR also received a patch today, so that might also have solved it..

WMR beta plugin also got an update addressing SteamVR crashes, so make sure you have that updated as well. That stopped my SteamVR crashes.
