Sometimes When in VR Keyboard locks up

[Bingo41]

Hi,

 

Sometimes when flying in VR, my keyboard is locked out, none of the key presses work. My HOTAS Cougar is setup to send key presses, and it is locked out as well. The axis still work, however.

 

The only thing that appears to work is CTL ALT DEL.

 

Any ideas on what may be causing this?

The only time I see this happen is if my mouse has gotten outside of DCS and the input focus is not on DCS. I need to get the mouse over DCS and click a few times or sometimes Alt-Tab to a different program that is open and back to DCS. Do you see the blue bar on the top of the screen? I use a WMR HMD so that might be related to windows based headsets.

DutchCoolHand,

 

Thanks for your response. I have done the same thing in the past as you have with mouse clicks. I just wonder what the underlying cause of this issue is? It is sure frustrating! However, I have the check box selected "Cursor Confined to Game Window," in the VR section of the options menu, which prevents the mouse from leaving the desktop monitor window?

 

Possibly, the fixes that Wags mentioned recently to modifying the various scenery packages to improve VR, may fix this issue.........its a hope I have?

 

BTW - my headset is the Oculus Rift CR1 I picked up in early 2018.
