I'm hoping someone can help with sorting out this issue.

 

I have a shortcut on my desktop to DCS OpenBeta.  As soon as I launch WMR the DCS shortcut disappears!!  What is odd is the DCS shortcut for the release version of DCS does not disappear.  The only difference is that I have VR enabled for Open Beta in the DCS settings.  Any ideas???  Thanks

 

EDIT - I found a workaround I pinned the DCS OpenBeta shortcut to my taskbar and it does not disappear when I open WMR.  Still be curious if others have had this issue?

I guess the desktop icon returns  when you drop back to regular windows?
 

if so,  their is a bug, between synchronising the desktop between wmr and windows... 

 

Cut the icon, and then fire up wmr, then paste it back... it should fix it

I was getting similar issues with icons disappearing. This registry entry fixed it for me.

 

Use a wmr headset? Give this a try - Virtual Reality - ED Forums (eagle.ru)

 

That fixed it!  Thanks for the help!

Yep same here, what happens is WMR adds virtual monitors which screws up desktop arrangement.

After doing the registry fix problem solved.

After doing this you won't be able to open (for example) a browser window inside your game anymore. It will drop you back to the WMR home scene with a blank browser window. At least it does this on my system. (didnt test in DCS, but did test in Elite)

Yeah I think I heard something like that - not an issue on my end. I would think there might be some way though to get it to work, as I believe these virtual monitors were only being pre-allocated. I don't know though that is way beyond my pay grade.

1st thks to imacken for the tip on starting DCS from a desktop view in the WMR cliff house (don't have controllers and had not though about using the keyboards's Win key to bring up the menu... 😞 ).  

 

2nd: I have a G2 and a quest 2 but only use the G2 for DCS (much better)... I also have Skatezilla's DCS utility installed.  I noticed that when I launch DCS (either through DCS utility or just directly through the DCS desktop icon) it opens steamVR (normal) but also the oculus app.  Also noticed that in Skatezilla's utility, under application settings and then VR it has both steam Vr and Oculus there and Oculus has a ticked box next to it but SteamVR's box is unticked and I cannot untick or tick any of them.

 

Someone knows how I can prevent this oculus app from launching automatically with DCS?

Wondering if someone could help me please. Just got my Reverb G2 and generally things going really well, nice stable 45 most the time with crisp graphics etc. However - I have noticed that trees draw in at different distances, meaning that there are two different 'versions' of every tree leading to very disorienting looking trees in general.

(So close one eye and trees are 'growing' into the sim at the tree draw distance, but then if you swap eyes there are no trees there yet till you get a bit closer). This then means all trees around me while flying don't quite 'look' right as if there are two different trees at each location.

Anyone that has seen two different versions of an object in each eye overlaid before will know what I mean. I also see a similar effect with distant terrain/hills also - so they seem to 'ghost' and not quite look to be in the right place.

 

I previously got a similar effect in my Rift S when I tried the parser line in autoexec.cfg file with shorelines etc - so the water would be in one place at the shore in one eye compared to the other eye - so both combined looked VERY strange. So quickly removed that line from the file.

 

If anyone could help with this strange fault then I would be very appreciative - as this is really the only issue I am having with the G2 in DCS and it is a bit of a show stopper really.

Hi VampireNZ, not sure what specs and settings you got so difficult to help but have you tried Taz1004' better trees mod for caucus?  I use it (dark version) and do not have this pb (and trees look a lot better!).  Post your specs and setting though if you want an answer

Cheers, yea my specs used to be in my sig, but I guess that stuff has changed with the new forum. In any case the Q was more for ppl who know what is causing the issue/have also had the same problem and fixed it as there are lots of other ppl here with G2's- not so much guessing what it might be based on my system specs. Also I wasn't getting the issue with my Rift S so is G2 specific.

 

Also yes I have V5 of the tree mod - seemed pretty obvious this might be causing it so tried with and without it and get the same issue. Also the tree mod is only for one map, I get the same thing with all trees on all maps.

I spent a lot of time in the Hornet off the Supercarrier today whilst I was working out bindings for my new CM3 Throttle.

For some reason today I could not help but gawk at the incredible image in my Reverb G2, the lighting was just incredible.

DCS is absolutely stunning in VR. Can't wait for the new clouds.

Latest Nvidia drivers 457.30 messed up the refresh rate on my Odyssey plus. I have a RTX2080ti and I started getting Error 13-14 which means it could not start my WMR at the refresh rate I set, which was 90hz. I could run it in 60hz but the flicker bugged the crap out of me. So I rolled the drivers back to 456.71 and it all works again. If anyone else has issues, give that a try.
Just a follow up, I was using the USB-c virtuallink port on my 2080ti for my headset, and that appears to be the culprit. I plugged my headset directly into the HDMI on the card and the USB3 on the PC and it works with the latest drivers, but it's crashing a lot. Does anyone else use the virtual link port on their card?

It's already out of stock at least in the UK.

 

Mine packed up, neither Windows Mixed Reality nor Steam VR could detect it, I had a refund from the HP provider and bought some nice G.SKILL RAM kit with it.

 

I'll spend a little in a second hand headset and wait until the new generation come out at lower price and hopefully better FoV, the G2 is good, but from my point of view HP shot themselves in the foot releaseing it with too little improvement to stan its own vs newer headsets, the technology is progressing very fast and we'll see better pretty soon.

 

That said, after the Oculus CV1 it was quiet a joy to use, I only have 3 issues with V.R sets: Limited FoW and the weight of the set itself which make the recorded image shaking at every head movement, amplifying it because of the forward weight inertia, then the recording was decentred vertically, I never was able to set it up (didn't have time to do so before it packed up to be honnest) and from VR to full screen recording didn't completely show what I was looking at.

I use the Reverb G2, and never had issues in other games, but in DCS it is....weird.

 

View is very large, and the cockpit "swims" around as I move my head. Ie, as I loom left, the cockpit moves right, but not the outside world.

 

How can I fix the VR view? Thanks

At the risk of getting into a “have you tried this?” Marathon:  make sure you turn off hardware accelerated gpu scheduling, or hags. I did a test this week where i reenabled it using a working, prexisting setup and it causes all sort of swimming and weird stuttery issues like you describe.  It causes this trippy, swirly stuttering than what you normally see.

With something weird like this I would start as clean as possible... i.e default settings on the GPU control panel then have the steamvR settings as used by @speed-of-heat and default settings in DCS.  Need to find a config that does not do that to start with.
