Menu and copckit trapeze view

[X_legio]

Hi there, there is some strange view into the menu.

Since today the main menù have a trapeze shape, but only through the G2, if I see from monitor or if I take a screenshot is a rectangle.

After get stuck in wait for pooled task-1 for long time, and also the copckit is a trapeze.

 

Any guess ?

Tried to restore all to Vanilla with DCS updater but the problem remain.

[speed-of-heat]

try to rename the saved games folder; see if that makes a difference? 

[X_legio]

Yep seems to be fixed, but I lost all my configuration. Should I need to config all from the beginning ?

[speed-of-heat]

you can try copying one directory / file back at a time, until you get to the one that breaks it... 

[X_legio]

OMG hours of fun....

[speed-of-heat]

yep ...sorry;

try ate a directory level see which one breaks it 

then focus in from there 

[X_legio]

Was more fast, luckly I have all my joystick settings saved in a special directory... Since you are a kind of guru/genius here can you explain me why sometimes not often the mouse stop to functioning in dcs ? The mouse stop to move into the game but if I take out theG2 I can move the mouse into the windows and select all the things, suddenly when I put on the g2 the mouse stops again. I restart and all is ok, sometimes i need a couple of restart. My WMR setting is when I put on the Automatic switch

Covered many times. 
 

but, it’s usually to do with one of

 

a) you have moved the mouse outside the game window and are interacting with desktop, usually accompanied by window does not have focus, to avoid maximise the window in game by pressing alt-enter.

 

or  most likely

 

b) you are interacting with the windows desktop after starting wmr or are starting steamvr and then putting on the headset, to avoid:

 

1) put the hmd on

2) center the headset

3) launch all the apps you need for vr within wmr

4) launch dcs

5) press alt-enter as above when in game 

[X_legio]

Seems B

 

[speed-of-heat]

Yeah, that’s pretty common

[X_legio]

Thank you so much.....

OK I have a question If I put the HMD on there is nothing there but darkness and a blank screen. Am I supposed to start WMR first then put the headset on? sorry for the dumb question I am just wondering as I experience this issue alot and I do B most times.. I want to try the way you described..

 

I also was curious how to add these apps to start in WMR?

[speed-of-heat]

Because you have already started steamvr... just wmr ...

 

I have a short cut in the wmr house for them though you could put them in the menu too...

 

mostly I fire up skatezilla’s app and use that to launch script for any of the other apps I was to fire up before dcs voice attack, target, vrnecksafer etc...

[The_Nephilim]

So I start WMR ONLY? IF that is so SteamVR auto launches when I start WMR?

[speed-of-heat]

then either

 

a) your setup is wrong

 

b) you should stop launching WMR for SteamVR

ok what would be a good startup procedure for DCS and a G2

I don’t understand the source of your confusion... there are  three apps.

 

wmr

 

wmr for steamvr

 

and 

 

steam vr 

 

 

all separate.

 

 

start in WMR... (not wmr for steam vr)...  if wmr and steamvr is configured correctly when you launch a steamvr game the bridging app, wmr for steamvr, will automatically launch steam vr.

 

the problem comes by launching steamvr  or wmr for steamvr, it launches bypassing wmr , which means you might loose mouse focus or z-axis because your headset isn’t properly initialised ...

Just fwiw and maybe add a little confusion, I only ever start by launching Windows Mixed Reality for Steam VR.

I then put on headset and launch DCS from desktop just before lowering headset over my eyes.

Never had an issue of any sort doing it this way.

Yep it works for some people, no idea why. Others (me) is an intermittent problem, others like the op it’s a blocking problem. Either way... this is how I fix it.

I think I've mentioned this before, but (I have checked the option on the SIM to start in VR) it works for me by simply clicking directly on the DCS icon on my desktop and it automatically loads:

 

It starts loading the SIM, starts WMR, then Steam VR and I already have the SIM clipped on the desktop indicating that I am in VR.
Then I put on the G2s and as soon as I enter a booth I do "Alt + Enter" to secure the full screen....

If for whatever reason I exit DCS, just launch it again from the desktop shortcut and it makes the process faster because both WMR for Steam and Steam VR are already open.

 

That's how I did it from the first day I tried it, and since it worked flawlessly I'm still doing it that way.

 

Before I had a Rifts and as I used OTT, and it was the first thing I opened, and this did the same with the Oculus Dash, then DCS icon and it worked.

In fact I haven't uninstalled the Oculus software yet, but since OTT took care of starting and stopping it when I opened the OTT application, it didn't give me any problems. Except when updating W10 that starts, but just open and close OTT and it stops the Oculus service....

 

Greetings,
