Occulus rift image goes to black after 20-30min play.

[lucky-hendrix]

Hi All,

 

With DCS 2.5 It got back to DCS in VR.

 

However, I have a weird problem :

 

After playing a mission for 20-30min, I will first get a lot of stutters every time I move my head.

Then at some point, the headset will simply go black ... yet I still have the sound, and it seems DCS is still running in the background because when I move my stick from the sound I can tell the simulation is still running (If I push my stick I will hear the Ka-50 over speed alarm, and then I pull the stick it goes away). SO it seems I only lost the image to the headset. If I open the oculus menu I have it on the Oculus, so it seems the HDMI connection is still fine, it is only DCS that is just showing nothing ...

I tried to look at the perfomances in the task manager while this happens. But everything looks fine. nothing is at 100%

 

Did anyone experience this kind of problem ? do you know how I could solve it?

 

Thanks

I have had this one or twice since 2.5 release.

I hope its related to the memory leak issue.

Checked one time and DCS was maxing out my 16gb.

A restart of the game will fix it temporarily.

 

ED are working on it

Ok I hope they fix it. I did another test. It seems that with an empty mission it doesn't happen. or it takes much longer to happen.

 

I will see if it is better with lower graphical settings

from what bignewy has said on other threads, it seems that there are a couple of interrelated memory bugs.

and its taking some gymnastics to get round them.

 

change the windows page file size from windows controlled, to the same size as your RAM. (16 gb) see if that helps till they fix it.

This sounds like an Oculus bug. They have a known issue with the current NVIDIA drivers. Try downgrading your drivers to 388.59. Have a look here:

I think that issue is a little different from the one the OP is discussing.

I too had this Oculus bug issue, however looks like they may have resolved it - I am on the Public Test Channel and the latest version being tested has fixed it for me. The issue for me being the headset not coming back on oftentimes after a session with it.

 

Sounds like the issue the OP is having may be more related to the memory leak in DCS.

Yes, i made more tests, and either by reducing graphical settings or playing a mission with less activity. The issue doesn't show up

just writing this if there is someone out with an issue similar to mine.

 

my oculus showed black for just half a second from time to time, during flight,(always in the best situations as Murphy would say) after hours of internet research and beeing in fear of an broken connector at the headset i tried my friends cable, and it never got black. my cable has got faulty near the left ear where it is bent downwards.

i fixed it with tesa and an pencil like an broken ancle.

 

hope this may help others
