So currently, I'm not having any problems with my set up. However in May I was having issues and it happened after Steam updated its beta Windows Mixed Reality for Steam. I found using fpsVR that my memory was increasing and not released so within a short time it became unplayable, so I switched to the release version. I am using the beta version of Steam VR without any issues.

(Just in case its not clear - there are three aspects to G2 VR: Window Mixed Reality - which is Microsofts windows 10. Mixed reality for Steam - Which is a Steam implementation and my understanding is that it does the calculation to convert the G2 inside out tracking to Steam's native tracking which is based on the Hive. And Steam VR which has the vr software and hardware talking to each other.)

So to recap, currently I'm not seeing any issues. Have just played in SP mode for 2 and half hours. Running release version of Windows Mixed Reality for Steam and the Beta version of Steam VR 1.18.3

If you are using a WMR headset, you need it as a bridge between the wmr headset and steamvr, so, no.

Are you flying the Tomcat ? If your freezing or crashing mostly likely it’s a Tomcat issue on E D side.

Yes i do fly the f14 but it crashes with the f18 too

Just started happening to me, second time in an 18, first time was in a 14 while flying in the TACT comp final ... not a happy bunny. No issues prior to this

If you're using the SteamVR beta version, then opt out of that and use the normal one.

I'll give that a try, thanks.

In my case, I had problems with the latest wmr for steamVR beta. The problem was in having the REPROJECTION in AUTO, in always forcing on (I have it like this now) or disable does not give problems.

"motionReprojectionMode": "motionvector" - Is this the setting you're referring to?? Always been set to this value.

I'm apparently running 1.19.7, but the the SteamVR properties, says I have not opted into any betas. Its pretty much the only thing I use steam for, so not sure how to change it!

I'm talking about Window Mixed reality for SteamVR not SteamVR. The first is the interconnection between SteamVR and WMR of the G2. The last Beta of the  WMR for SteamVR is the 1.3.22 (non beta 1.2.625). The last beta of SteamVR is 1.19.7 (non beta 1.19.6) but I think both are the same now. To change between beta and non-beta, steamVR properties (or Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR), with the right button with the mouse sure, and BETA section

My steamVR was recently updated, which coincides with the SteamVR crashes - hence the likelihood of being involved.  I Don't think WMR for SteamVR has been updated recently, but I'll check. Prior to this it has been rock solid for months - I'd never had a similar crash. I've only had 2, but it is a right pain!

Only issue I am seeing of late with Steam VR (Beta) is occasionally when I close it ( Vive Pro 2) it will crash rather than exit cleanly.

Have not seen it crash during a session yet - and I fly several hours a day.
