Open Kneeboard for VR and 2d

[Fakum]

I just installed this and I have always had DCS set too "Run as administrator". This app will not work if it is set to that. Have you all had to disable "run as admin" for this app as well?

Thanks,

Never run DCS as administrator.

Somewhere over the years, and  I have no recollection, It was advised somewhere for something, and I just stuck with it. I will change it out of that mode. Thanks for the response in both locations.

I do not run DCS or Open Kneeboard as Administrator; however I have UAC set to lowest in Win 11. When starting Open Kneeboard I get a warning about running it as admin but, ignoring the warning, the program runs normally.

Running UAC at lowest is bad. The description for it is a little wrong. The lowest setting will silently run some things as admin, even though they would run as non admin. This is possibly why you are getting this message.

I do understand and accept the risks, but I detest Windoze' constant nagging at the higher UAC settings.

I am having a very weird issue lately and I could not find any related with it. 

 

First of all, details about the way I use it:

- I fly in VR

- Ma set up is a Pimax crystal using OpenXR (and quad view)

- I use OKB for several month

- to fix my issue, i tried to repair OKB, uninstall totally OKB (all files), repair DCS and update my graphic card drivers (RTX 4090)

 

This is the description of my issue: As soon as OKB is displayed all textures in DCS disappear. 

- Launch DCS in VR without OKB -> no problem

- Launch DCS in VR with opened OKB -> no texture in DCS (seems to be the only issue)

- launch DCS with OKB launched but not displayed in DCS -> no problem

- launch DCS with OKB launched and display OKB in DCS -> texture disappear as soon as OKB is displayed.  

 

I contact the team under discord and got a technical answer like an issues with "layers" (sorry i am not technical at all) but no solution so it seems that it is not an easy one to solve.

The idea of the post is to share if anybody experienced that because I could not find anything like during my research.

Hi Fred,

My point was not to be disrespectful. It was just the fact that the issue i have did not seem to be something "usual or known". I have read the procedure (not sure i can manage) and your message on discord and will try to post it to help others.

 

EDIT: I post all the fils (dcs log and debug log) in discord
