DCS crash in vr

[Avalanche110]

DCS crashes when loading main menu in VR.

2D loads and works normally. Crash Log attached.

Was working fine in VR on current OB now all of a sudden it crashes.

 

Thing I have done:

Uninstalled shader mod.

DCS cleanup and repair.

Deleted App data.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi. It looks like a Lua crash:

Rename your "Saved Games/DCS.openbeta" folder and keep it as a backup.

Then start DCS and see if you keep crashing. If so, try a "slow" DCS repair.

Hey @Flappie

I tried renaming the DCS saved game directory, and multiple slow repairs. Neither was successful.

reinstalled graphics driver, Pitool, and steamVR and that seems to have solved it.

 

Thanks for your help

Great! Then I assume the Lua crash stack was just a consequence of the graphics issue.
Many thanks for your feedback.
