cercata Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The new Oculus runtime(Dash+Home2) uses a lot of RAM, in my computer I see 2.5GB used by the Service, Client, Dash, etc, whithout taking into account Home2. For people with 16GB or less running DCS, that's a lot. Someone packed the old runtime with the minimal things, so we can save a lot of RAM. I don't have sttutters anymore now !!!!! Instructions: 1) Stop the service OVRService (Oculus VR Runtime Service) 2) Rename "C:\Program Files\Oculus" to ""C:\Program Files\Oculus2" 3) Download this file and uncompress it on "C:\Program Files". Now you shoud have "C:\Program Files\Oculus" again https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FRKhhHgq2rdeQLnnF5jNs-wvMq2YgVnn 4) Restart the OVRService If you want to go back to the new runtime, then: 1) Stop the service 2) Rename Oculus to Oculus1 3) Rename Oculus2 to Oculus 4) Start the service again I made a small bat file that automates that runtime change, I join it here Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/9odbvz/fixed_old_oculus_home_runtime_w_instructions/OculusSwap.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Is this by any chance the one like we used to have in a past where you can bypass running home before running your games / sims?

Yes, is that old version, but with everything removed, no Home, no Oculus Client, just the runtime, no need to bypass it. Everything is black until you launch a game. And you can swap quite quickly between the actual version and that old version, in case you need for a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Just tried it out. Brilliant! Been hoping for a while now to be able to run things without the bloat-home having to run. Thanks a ton, Cercata!

Thanks a ton, Cercata! Home disappears to just a gray screen when playing a game...
