Same, updated everything, clean/repair using skatezilla, downloaded opencomposite, openxr, follwed the guide. No hands with the G2

The latest OpenComposite build broke a few things on the controllers side. Revert to that older version instead: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ZNix/openovr/builds/44353680/job/ab9sh3fntl2pn57v/artifacts

I’m having issues with loosing the mouse every once in awhile after last weekends update. 

Same, I did a rollback to an older openvr_api.dll (version 1.0.860) and it works again.

I have OpenComposite systemwide install tool and just replaced vrclient_x64.dll with the old openvr_api.dll (renamed)

Okay thanks I may have to look in of that if it gets really bad. Kinda new to OXR.

Curios, what function do your hands have in DCS VR?

Me neither, hoping my PointCTRL will be produced in reasonably short time. I ordered in july 2021

Hey

Since the last beta update and the opencomposite update, my game loads for a very long time, about 3-4 minutes and the fps are also bad. Anyone advice? Only the BETA

and OpenComposite have been updated!

Do tell... I returned one last year out of frustration.

The Gemini drivers released early this year made the tracking much more robust, the DCS implementation still has its foibles but it is getting better.

The most important part is getting the environment optimally set up, before I did that it was frustration on confusion.

Now the only time I can't use leap to activate cockpit controls is when they're physically occluded (think SAS controls to the left of the warthog throttle) or where the physical constraints of the environment prevent it; the walk in cupboard my rig is in means that quite a lot of the side controls aren't achievable because my hand hits the wall before I can reach the virtual switch.

All in, because I only paid 30 quid for it on eBay it's one of the beat value investments I've made for DCS vr with regards to immersion

Interesting. I may have to give it another shot.

Thanks! That got it. 

Sr. read the question you asked about the error message you are having in OpenXR Runtime.  Also saw mbucchia reply.  However I do not understand what to do. You solved your problem but did not explain how you managed to do it.  Would you be able to explain in a detailed step by step approach what I need to do.

Have searched the Registery Editor for the line stated by mbucchia but it does not exist on my system.  I have found "Khronos\OpenXR\1\ApiLayers\Implicit". This leads me to a directory referencing OpenKneeboard, which I have installed.  mbucchia does say this would be one of the programs causing this problem.  

Would you be able to point me in the correct direction please.

My system used to do this fairly often, even before OpenXR. To avoid it, II make sure there are no other windows present (minimized) on the desktop while DCS is launching.

Also, once I launch DCS and the ED screen shows, I will give it a single click with the mouse. Beyond that, any other time it's occurred and I didn't catch it before sitting down in the seat, I would simply grab one of the G2 controller, turn in on, point it's cursor at the screen, press the menu button, push it again to exit, then shut off the controller... which somehow restored the mouse pointer.

Can't say specifically as to open kneeboard, but I just drilled down through the registry as he posted. He does say that it is for removing stale/uninstalled instances. Which for my error was the issue... I had uninstalled VR NeckSafer then noticed the WMR Runtime entries tab was emptier than I remembered.

Great Sr. I’ll give those suggestion a go. I’ll also knock the dust off my controllers too. Appreciate it

sorry for quoting myself. Still have the problem !

If i switch back to SteamVR, DCS loads 10 times faster. OpenXR 8-10 Min to Server, SteamVR 1-2 Min.

When loading DCS with OpenXR, I see the 3 rotating circles for 5 minutes alone. Any Ideas ?

Check your AV folder/application exclusions/permissions?

AV Folder ? Antivrius ? sorry for the stupid question....

I only use the Windows Security. OpenXR allowed public&private

Yep, Windows Security.

Here in particular. Good way to test would be to shut it off and see if it occurs.

help

something seems to be messed up with my OXRTK settings... i was playing with the resolution override in my last session and had made a change before i logged out... problem is, now that i am attempting to log back into DCS it doesn't seem to be launching into vr.. to the contrary, it launches in the headset and displays on the 2d panel window in headset... my desktop resolution drops dramatically and screws up my icon arrangements.  I cannot launch OXRTK as the dcs app is not launching in vr.  I would like to reset the resolution overide back to a different value but cannot access the OXRTK menu because I cant get into VR.

Any ideas what i could do?

[Nodak]

Go into your user/x/saved games/DCS/Config and change its folder name, it'll make a new default one next time you fire it up, than you can reset.  Grab the stuff you need out of the renamed backup, mainly your input for key and stick commands.

[dooom]

ok that worked - thanks.

 

I have a question about upscaling for the reverb g2.  should i be overiiding my resolution if i am using the upscaler?  Right now i am overriding resolution to 3160 and have upscaler at about 70% (2120-ish)  It feels like a crap shoot - is there a logic to it i dont understand?  i read the oxr site about upscaling but it doesnt really make sense to my old brain.

i just want to be able to read my f18 screens more clearly.
