Jester986 Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 Ok, so my graphics card only has one hdmi port and I have my oculus plugged into that and my monitor plugged into my motherboard. When I start dcs the game opens as if its in vr but with a limited ampunt of the screen shown in the preview and I cant click anything. In my headset its perpetually waiting for dcs. Oculus home is working. Any ideas?
FragBum Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 I'm pretty sure that the monitor needs to be also plugged into the same graphics card! You could try a converter cable for you desk monitor. Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

Jester986 Posted September 29, 2018 Author Posted September 29, 2018 I dont have one... oculus home is working though which is confusing me? If that was the problem shouldn't no vr work? Ive also tried starting virtual desktop which works, unplugging the monitor and then starting dcs.
FragBum Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 Maybe but there is another thread here and the guy had issues with VR using onboard graphics for monitor and a graphics card for VR. I cant test as I don't have on board graphics support with my CPU. Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors.

Jester986 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Posted September 30, 2018 So I've been waiting 4 months to play dcs in vr while ive been out working in the bush. Today was my one day to play before going back out for another two weeks and sadly I'm 4 hours away from an electronics store. Waiting on Amazon is also not an option. However I found a solution. I got virtual desktop to auto start and from there I can launch dcs from the rift with no monitor plugged in.
