Casimir06 Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 I just got an HP G2, and after spending a couple days setting it up and installing the necessary software, I got down to tweaking the settings for DCS. Tonight was the first time I got to test it out on a flight with my Wing. About an hour into the flight, I decided to check the F10 map, as I wanted to see if the guy who built the mission had put any sort of indicator on the map that showed our patrol zone. I'd switched to F10 twice before during the flight with no issues. This time, however, the screen suddenly froze, and for a moment I thought I'd crashed DCS. Then the visuals got all screwy and wonky, like the entire cockpit was trying to render from a single point of reference - then the screens just went to a completely black background. I could still hear DCS in the background, and when I picked up the controller I could switch to Desktop view and actually see the DCS VR screen there still running. When I moved my head it was tracking correctly, and I could still hear radio transmissions from SRS normally. Nothing I could do would bring it back, despite checking SteamVR settings. So I attempted to go to the WMR home space and see if I could somehow pop back into DCS - and when I did that, the sim immediately crashed. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm hoping it's a one off thing that may have been caused by switching to F10 for some reason, but figured I'd see if anyone else has experienced the same thing. One thing maybe worth noting also - for the last month or so on long flights the sim would lose tracking somehow in my Rift S - I'd get a weird message saying something about how TrackIR had lost connection, the screen would freeze, and then come back but I'd have lost all sound. I never was able to figure out why this was occurring, and wonder if this was the same issue - just in a different headset with different effects when it failed.
mtd2811 Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Same thing exactly happened to me today for the first rime, right after I decided to re-enable CPU hyper-threading in my bios.From f10 back f1 , game lagged started freezing and then black screen on the g2. Sounds kept on coming and I could see it was still tracking (on the mirror display). Keyboard was working etcI will deactivate hyper-threading and recheck (tomorrow)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
