VR Crash Information

[Bingo41]

Below, I posted this is the Crash Forum, but thought the VR test information might be useful to some of you who fly VR.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Up until recently I was able to run DCS in VR and 2D modes very flawlessly, that is, until this issue cropped up. I have no idea what happened?

 

Currently, I am running P3D version 4.1 with both “Native” VR and the 3rd party add-on FlyInside without any issues….it runs really well, so there is nothing wrong with my VR.

 

What I have done is collect some information (FPS and Video Memory used versus 3 different scenarios) that find is unusual:

 

 

DS = Deferred Shading

VS = Vsync

FPS = Frame Rate for VR

VID = Video Memory consumed MB

 

 

DS ON, OFF, ON

VS ON, OFF, OFF

 

FPS 30, 45 or 90, 45

VID 12,410, 8,498, 12,559

 

 

 

Comments:

 

1) The only scenario that crashes is when Deferred Shading is ON and Vsync is OFF.

2) The other two scenarios work without crashing.

3) When DS and VS are OFF the video RAM numbers look reasonable as do the frames, the other two situations exceed my 1080TI memory of 11GB……what causes this?

 

I hope the Developers are working on a patch or update to fix this. And as a workaround for VR, I can fly with either DS and VS turned ON, or just turn off DS.
