itarrow Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 After updating to last Open Beta rel, on SteamVR beta as well, I am getting big coloured box on left eye (yellow or red or white). I am with a Vive. It happens just on DCS, so it’s something specific. I will document it better later on when I can, I just would like to see now if I am alone...

itarrow Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Additional details: the big coloured box obscuring left side happens after moving the visor (at game start it's not there). It appears and remains behind game menus (ie mission start or pause) but in front of cockpit. It moves with the headset always covering the same view area. See attached images for reference. Last Open Beta, SteamVR Beta 1.2.3, using Vive on Harrier and Hornet modules . Edited December 20, 2018 by itarrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raijin Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 reset supersampling on steam VR, to 100%, start dcs, play an instant action to make sure.. then if it works, u can close and back the supersampling for whatever value you had.. Worked for me with a samsung odyssey+ and a buddy with the vive pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itarrow Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 My super sampling setting in SteamVR is already at 100% (I set everything within the application settings) so not sure this can really help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itarrow Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Tried cleaning up shaders, repairing launcher, changing settings in SteamVR, changing settings in DCS, changing modules. The only way to get rid of the big coloured box is to switch to NON VR. In VR, the big coloured box is there regardless of modules or settings. It changes size becoming bigger (and obstructing all front area, not just left) if I decrease super sampling within DCS options. I usually use 2.5 and with that I enjoy the obstruction you see in the screenshots. If I decrease to less than 2, the coloured obstruction obstructs pretty much all the front view. Not sure what to test or add more, hope this issue will be recognised while I’ll enjoy holidays without DCS :-( Edited December 23, 2018 by itarrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itarrow Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 I stand corrected. Within DCS VR Options, Supersampling below 1.6 get rids of the big coloured obstruction and everything works fine. Anything above 1.7 brings in the big coloured obstruction. Even if I set supersampling at below 1.6 and get rid of issues, if I get back to above 1.6 the issue gets back there... It seems to be a supersampling issue...

X93355 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I've ended up rolling back to 2.5.3 and it all works properly again. I am surprised there is no announcement or acknowledgement from ED about this as there must be quite a lot of people with Vive / Pro with this issue. Will wait for an official fix. No problems other than black flickering occasionally with my Rift machines but I understand this is only with water detail high. Love water high with VR, medium just doesn't do it for me.

Arsonist Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Possible solution I've experianced the same issue: shortly after starting DCS openbeta (2.5.4.25729, via Steam) in the main menu the blob appears, starting red, changind to yellow and then to white. I've tried running SteamVR as most recent stable, as well as SteamVR beta, happens with both. I'm using nvidia 1080 ti (driver: 417.35) and Vive Pro. Possible solution: I've started playing with some graphics settings within DCS. When I increased the pixel density (VR Tab) to al value larger than 1.5 the blob appears, for 1.5 and below this value it seems to be fine.

tensa_yun Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Thanks. DCS is currently unusable for me because of this. Oh. well, I guess I'm playing other games until they fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsonist Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 So you are saying you are not able to move the pixel density slider to 1.5, or less, which makes the game unplayable to you? Or does this fix not work for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headwarp Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Just chiming into say I'm not experiencing this even when turning the PD up to 1.8 or higher. More info - i'm not running any mods. Ran a dcs repair after the update as I usually would. Perhaps it's because I backed up my input folder and deleted the config folder in saved games? Latest nvidia drivers, and all the latest windows updates and system drivers as well. That being said - I have no idea what I've done differently than other posters in this thread. I thought it might be a vive only thing but gladman's running an odyssey too. The fact that I'm not getting the white box says to me something can be fixed somewhere at the user end.

itarrow Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Weird. Did a repair and cleaned shaders etc as well. Any SS above 1.6 (within DCS VR options) privided the big box you see in my second post screenshots. Are you on SteamVR BETA ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itarrow Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 I'm opted out of beta at the moment. So maybe it is related to SteamVR Beta 1.2.3.... Now I am far from my PC for a few days, so can’t check if anything improves by switching to SteamVR “stable”... if anybody else can check good, otherwise I will do it as soon as I am back...

Battis Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Same problem with Pimax5k+, steamvr 1.1.4, no mods, latest dcs beta. No amount of SS or PD tweaking did anything.

Heater Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Same issue here... will try the SS and see what happens. EDIT: No effect... still seeing the white square. This is the only game having the issue. The Full Release works fine.

itarrow Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Please attach a short (10..15 sec) track. I will do it, anyway please consider that (if I remember correctly) even on track the colored box appears depending on the SS setting (above 1.6 = colored box) so not sure if it can be significant... this was one of the reasons I have attached screenshots instead.

IB2EZ2C Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I just did the update and ran into the same problem with my Vive Pro. For whatever reason if I set the pixel density (Settings/VR tab) to 1.8 or lower it ceases for me. I hope it helps someone. Now if I could figure out what program uses space to center my headset view (never happened before today) so I can check out the training missions.....

Either have to reduce PD or Steam SS value to fix the white box issue. I started another thread on this not realising this one was about the same issue!
