New VR problem...any guidance appreciated

[jasonstory44]

Hi guys, I've been away from DCS for a few weeks due to work but when I returned I have recently run into two new problems with my Reverb.

 

First, my VR GPU frametime seems to be in a cyclical rhythmic fluctuation which it never did before. This happens even in the main hangar as the attached photo will show.

I read the other thread in the VR issues forum and disabled my ESET antivirus and added my DCS and Steam folders to exclusion from the security software. Overall my VR performance is ok but definitely seems degraded from where it was. I can only suspect this may have something to do with it. For the record, lowering my in game settings or hitting the default VR did nothing to change the GPU frame time ironically.

 

Second issue which is new, I've never had any tracking issues with my Reverb. I'm now getting fairly but usually brief random changes of view within the cockpit. Almost as if the view "snaps" to some other point. I also have to recenter my view a lot more frequently than I ever did due to these. The tracking otherwise seems very fluid so I am not convinced its a lighting or tracking issue but maybe I am wrong. let me just say adding more light in the room didn't help.

 

I am running the latest DCS Beta, latest Steam VR beta and latest WMR Beta for steam. I don't know if one of these updates introduced these bugs or its something different. I don't really use VR for any other apps although I suppose I could download some just to see if the view issue happens there too.

 

Any advice or guidance as always is greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers Jason

Hi and thanks for the PM,

 

First thing I would do is rename your scripts folder in your DCS saved games location. Then test DCS again without, if you see improvement it maybe something with those scripts.

 

If not just change the name back on the folder and you are good to go again.

 

I have seen some overclocks create detrimental performance with DCS something worth looking at.

 

Could you attach your dcs.log to your post just in case there is something we are missing in DCS it self.

 

 

Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me. I’ll rename the scripts and give that a shot.

 

If that doesn’t work I’m happy to attach my logs. Embarrassed to admit though, I’m not quite sure where to find them. I’ve never had to before. Are there some instructions or a guide on where or how to do that you could point me towards?

Hi BigNewy,

 

So I tried deleting my FXO and metashaders2 and initially the GPU frametime seemed to stabilize and be balanced for a little while. Then it returned to the every other second spike as before.

 

I then tried deleting the scripts folder and restarted. Again it seemed to stabilize things for 5 minutes or so and then back to the spikes.

 

I've attached my logs.

 

If you need more please let me know.

 

Thanks, Jason

Hi

 

thanks for the PM

 

I can see this in your log

 

2019-11-03 22:12:00.952 ERROR GRAPHICSCORE: Failed assert `(realDesc.format == d.apidesc.format) && (realDesc.msaa == d.apidesc.msaa) && (realDesc.type == d.apidesc.type) && (realDesc.width == x) && (realDesc.height == y)` at d:\projects\buildslave\nevada_testing\build\projects\render\inc\rwrappers\inl/FrameBuffer.inl:161

 

 

 

please also take a look at my crash advice, it maybe worth doing this to rule out and settings issues.

 

I would recommend a fresh GPU driver install

 

Regarding the view issues, is your room well lit?

[jasonstory44]

Is the overclock just in reference to the GPU or CPU? Or both?

 

Thanks BIGNEWY

 

And yes room pretty well lit. I added more light but didn’t help
