SteamVR crashes with Error -203, leaving DCS stuck but not crashed, unable to use VR


Recommended Posts

Posted

When I load into the game, sometimes my screen gets stuck while loading into cockpit, sometimes it happens in the menu. 
The game itself does not crash, but SteamVR does with error -203. This leaves the 2d desktop repeater stuck in one view, running at some 2fps or so, never truly recovering. Problem is that DCS didn't crash, meaning it essentially does not log it as a crash either for analysing a log. 

Only solution I have found to this is to reinstall DCS, reinstall SRS, and reinstall SteamVR and WMR. 
I don't know which one of those helps. Then it seems to work until DCS patches again, and we're back into the steamvr hell.


Reverb G2 gen1. 

11700K
32GB 3200mhz
3080ti
Game on a NVME.


Here's the bit of DCS Log. I played on Growling Sidewinder, then logged off, went to the main menu. I adjusted some control settings and bam, -203 Steam VR crash:

I have exactly the same Problem.... Again.
Sadly this Error comes back with every other DCS Update.
With the latest Update and Hotfix from 04.Feb DCS keeps Crashing, freezing SteamVR, overloading the VR Compositor or lagging the GPU Driver.
 

What has crashed DCS for me this evening alone:

  • Joining a Server
  • Leaving a Server
  • Rejoining the same Server
  • Looking around in the Cockpit
  • Switching Views
  • Selecting a different Slot/Plane

VR Headset: Valve Index

CPU: Intel Core i5-11600K at 5.1Ghz

RAM: Kingston 64GB 3600MHz DDR4 (2x32GB)

GPU: ASUS Nvidia RTX 2080Ti Strix OC

DCS is installed on its own 1TB Samsung SSD

Nvidia GPU Driver Version 511.65
Windows 11 Pro Build Version    10.0.22000 Build 22000

Steam VR 1.21.7

My SteamVR (all versions to date) always crashes within 15 minutes, if motion reprojection is on.

 

Make sure Motion Smoothing is off in SteamVR and set to 'none' in the Mixed Reality config file.

Then try again and see it that makes the crashes go away.
