Steam VR has occurred a critical error, mainly Syria map

[Viking 1-1]

Hey guys,

 

as the title says, SteamVR keeps crashing on me with the Syria Map.

 

My specs:

 

I9-9900K

2080ti

32 GB RAM

M2 Harddrive

 

DCS Open beta

SteamVR stable with Reverb G2 Headset

 

I tried everything I read so far, but VR keeps crashing for me on the syria map. I tried SteamVR beta/stable, Motion smoothing off and even reducing quality, even though I always fly with 45-50fps. Crash occurs suddenly, without any warning.

 

Do you guys have any idea how to fix this? On caucasus I can play for hours, on Syria it last max. 30 minutes before the crash... Any help is appreciated!

how big is your swap file?  set it to 64gb

Was 16GB. My C-Drive is pretty packed, can I establish the swap file on another drive as well, or has it to be C? I have a M2 for DCS, could i place the swap file there?

yep you can place it on any drive... but i would keep it on an SSD or M2... ideally different drives but its not critical

Ok. So I have DCS on M2, another "Game drive" is a SSD. 

 

So you would suggest to put 64 GB of swapfile on the SSD, since DCS is on the M2?

What do you mean? An M2 is just another type of SSD.

i have my swapfile on my O/S drive (NVME) and DCS on a separate SSD ... but i dont think thats particularly important, just providing its on a fast disk

So I just finished a Sortie on the Syria Map where I used to crash.

 

did the entire flight without any issues, so I hope the problem was solved with the swapfile. So thanks a lot for the help! Now I´m still a little bit nervous, but finally it worked!

I had the same problem, so glad you are working
