DCS crashes at startup in VR - out of ideas

[jrasia]

Hey Everyone,

 

I've been able to run DCS OB with my HP Reverb for over a year without issues, but since either updating to latest OB, or updating Win 10 to 2004, the game keeps crashing at startup.

I see the 'hanger' screen with the mig29, but textures are missing from the plane and then DCS generates crash log.

 

I'm able to start the game in non VR mode no problem.

Likewise, a half dozen other VR games I have are running without issue on my system.

There is no GPU overclocking.

 

Crash logs attached. Support desk we unable to help other than suggesting to me to google "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED".

 

 

All drivers and patches are up to date.

I've tried rolling back Nvidia drivers with DDU multiple times with multiple versions including old 446.14 to the latest and greatest 451.85 hot fix.

I've tried repairing my DCS install

I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled

I've tried beta and non beta version of WMR and steam.

I've tried disabing vsync in Nvidia CP

I tried rubbing my belly and jumping at the same time to no avail.

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks!

Have you tried dropping the gpu overclock ? You might also try less pd/aa .

[jrasia]

I mistyped my original posting.

There is NO gpu overclocking. It's stock.

[Svsmokey]

K . Try less pd/aa

[jrasia]

Thanks for suggestions, but even with disabling everything, the game still crashes in VR.

frustrating.

 

Anyone from ED looking at my logs?

[Relix2k]

no mods applied or anything like that?

 

I would also rename your user /saved games/dcs open beta directory and see if it will start then

[jrasia]

No mods no.

 

I tried once again renaming folder, but again, it crashes in VR

This guy seems to have resolved the problem...

Try to back up and remove your option or config lua from your save game(I forgot which is called) but the idea is to have DCS boot up with default settings

On an SSD? If not try Chkdsk on the drive it's installed on.

 

Try renaming the folder where it's installed... then re-install. I know you've reinstalled but it likely installed to the same part of the drive and it "might" have issues. Less likely with an SSD though. Copy your saved games DCS folder to another location before you re-install.

 

Try adding a hangar mod so there's a different scene when it boots.

Is it hanging at the main menu GUI hangar? Or hangar when you start your mission? If it hangs at main menu, why is it trying to read a mission file and write track file?

 

2020-07-30 19:12:02.482 INFO DCS: try to write track file

 

2020-07-30 19:12:02.540 WARNING DCS: mission file empty

 

If it hangs when you start a mission, try different mission and/or different plane.

[jrasia]

It crashes at the initial gaming load screen after executing the dcs world shortcut

I can’t even start a mission obviously. i'm not sure why it tries to write a track file....perhaps just a part of the dump log file.
