VR Shaders mod for better VR experience

[jef32]

Perhaps I've not waited enough time before the launching, but after 6 minutes of the first menu when launching, I thought DCS was crashed, as if it wasn't in connection with ED servers.

Without the shaders, it needs around 20'' to launch.

The first time, after an install or an update takes an age… go have tea

[Hammer1-1]

Yep, I had to rebuild shaders last night for some odd reason too. Spent a good 20 minutes waiting for the cockpits and other planes to load last night in server; they eventually loaded. Meanwhile I went and had dinner. It happens.

[jef32]

I've deleted the shaders before launching.

I launch DCS and I have tea and finally DCS works after six minutes.

 

After each aircraft and each maps needs a long first launch, but for that I already knew it. Strangely, the longer was the F-15.

 

But the main thing: That's working now !

[kristod76]

It seems that mod does not work in 2.7.6 due to speedtrees 5.1

[speed-of-heat]

Works just fine at this end!

[speed-of-heat]

Seems to be map specific, marianas is failing, caucuses seems ok

[PollDepth]

Can definitely say it's causing a crash when compiling shaders on Marianas map both this and the clear water version.

[laertesson]

How about Syria? I haven’t reinstalled the mod yet since this warning about new speedtrees.

Best of luck. Maybe you can look into disabling whatever is done to change trees?

 

I wasn’t aware of anything. Possible the simple grass causing the issue?

It seems with latest update i cannot join servers in MP. It says "pure client is required" even when directly launching DCS and trying to connect

[speed-of-heat]

Nope this one needs @Kegetysto fix. Found a hack

[speed-of-heat]

Ok I might have something, just doing some tests.

[speed-of-heat]

I think this seems to work:

 

 DCS VR Shaders mod for 2.7.6 Hotfix.zip

 

note you will need to completely uninstall the existing mod and or repair before applying this fix.

 

This hack simply removes the files in the 5.1 directory which includes speedtrees and speedtrees shadows which was causing the error.

 

there may be some performance implications, I honestly haven’t measured how much. 
 

it’s a hack not a fix, for that we need @Kegetysto fix the code.

 

After you have repaired or completely uninstalled, You just need to install the hotfix, it has everything you need.

Testing now. Thanks for your work as always.

[boyington2]

Doesn't work for me @speed-of-heat

 

After DCS repair, it's working ! thanks @speed-of-heat

stupîd guy in front of the screen :D

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Neither here

[speed-of-heat]

Make sure the 5.1 files are commented out in the metashaders\terrain sub directory of the mod

You also have to uninstall the mod first..or repair.

If you just install this version over the old version it will still break as the 5.1 files will still be modded

After update to the latest OB, I thought the mod would have been installed…

Working as usual for me. 

 

Repaired DCS prior to install. I'm not sure if that works to uninstall the old version, since I stupidly don't use a mod manager, but no errors here on Syria.

 

Thanks again speed-of-heat, you rock buddy!

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Did repair and apply only the hotfix and it works! Thanks.

This mod nearly always caused an IC fail, it’s not new.

[Picchio]

I'm getting this strange issue when using the mod - some cockpit textures appear "spotted" with tiny specks with a shiny/metallic look to them. This issue is very evident in the Mosquito, while I can't discern it in the Tomcat. Everything is fine with the mod turned off. Any idea?
