Can I run DCS in VR (Rift) without the Oculus Dashboard?

[sirrah]

Is there a way to play DCS with the Oculus Rift without having to start the Oculus Dashboard? Right now it starts automatically when I launch DCS.

 

I noticed that OculusDash.exe uses 500+mb (sometimes up to 700mb) of my precious memory :(

Having "only" 16GB, I recently found out that DCS eats about every bit of RAM available.

 

I'm running the stand alone OB version (if that matters)

Nope.

Hi,

 

I found this but I didn´t test it. It is like minimum oculus dash.

No, but surely you notice the Oculus Dashboard along with the Oculus Home graphics fade out to gray when a game is launched?

Now that you mention it, I did see that yes. I'll check out the dashboard memory usage while running decs next time

I was looking the other day. Virtually none.

See what I did there.:smilewink:

 

 

I took a look with lasso.

I setup OD to open when I start Oculus Tray Tool, and close when OTT is closed. OTT stops the Oculus Service that's needed for Dash to run. Otherwise Dash runs as long as the HMD is pluged in.

Try setting Oculus Home to run as administrator.

It’s not 1996.

[etherbattx]

agreed.

 

if you look at your task manager, it barely uses any resources.

 

you shouldn’t need to turn Home off anymore.

I don't get any fade out from OD or OH when I launch DCS, does it happen by default?

Yes. It happens quickly.
