DCS crashes shortly after mission start with different aircraft and missions

[guriak]

Hello,

 

After updating to 2.7, DCS now crashes within a few minutes of starting a mission. I am running the game in VR with an HP Reverb and Windows Mixed Reality. It happens in any aircraft or mission I try. DCS.log is attached

Hello guriak. You seem to have an issue with your VR gear connection:

Does your game works without using VR?

[guriak]

The game does work without using VR. VR is never interrupted like it would be if there was an actual loss of connection, the game simply crashes to desktop and I'm back at the WMR portal in VR. There are no issues with any other VR application. One thing I've noticed with the 2.7 update is that during the loading screen, the WMR loading splash pops up briefly and this didn't used to happen. It generally shouldn't appear inside an application, and this never happened with older versions of DCS

I reverted to 2.5.6 and encountered the same crashing, I've discovered that there was an update to WMR on 6/10 and this may be related.

Several VR users reported they had to opt out of the WMR beta program to avoid crashes. See here:

I rolled back my WMR driver to 10.0.19041.2037 and was able to complete a mission without crashing.

same without VR also. CTD is an issue in 2.7, I have ticket running. not one mod installed, actual drivers as before. Only thing changed was EDs buggy release.  Can play 5-20 minutes, or even longer - CTD... no other game is that unsable actually.
