I know, it's difficult to browse through a 27 Page long Thread, but this has been answered several Time in the last 24 hours. I just copy & paste my last answer to this Question here. And "yes" somethings wheird with this Path in the Error Message:

Set Pixel Density in DCS to 1.0, and don't use OpenXR Toolset. (Disable it in the OpenXR Toolset Settings Menu). I used an external Program to lauch DCS World without VR to reset the PD in DCS, because after I've modified DCS with the OpenXR Mod I couldn't start it, because of the same Error you get.

on second thought, could also be that WMR is NOT set as your active runtime

I set PD to 1.0, but no luck-same error

whew boy...

only thing keeping me from running max graphics is clouds at ultra...gotta turn them down to standard if I dont want a slide show at 30fps, but hell I got 4x MSAA comfortably running in vr now. That aint never happened! Like literally no difference in FPS between 2x and 4x right now, but definitely tell its on.

If your looking for a good way to launch this is what I use easy to setup and one click

DCS Shortcut Generator v1.2 by Bailey (digitalcombatsimulator.com)

Does installing the DCS specific XR toolkit override the pre-existing XR toolkit? I use XR toolkit for MSFS and I dont want this install to mess with that one.

Kinda figured that was what DCS updater utility was for other than launching. Ill give this a shot.

From the looks of it, no..its in addition to. I just used it a few moments ago in-game and worked just fine.

Just to confirm, does this work with the Valve Index HMD?

As noted by Hammer-1, I've had no issues with the Toolkit, going between DCS and M$F$.  Works great.

From this post, it looks like the 45 fps stutters could be an issue of the G2 headset (software), rather than a problem with DCS.

 

I'm more inclined to believe that user has issues (a year ago) because they are trying to push a G2 and DCS with a Ryzen 3600, 2070 and 16gb RAM. They don't even seem to realize they are talking about motion reprojection when their fps "mysteriously" goes from 90fps to 45fps. Sometimes (a lot of times) the issue is user error. This super long thread is rife with it.

Update: below error related to OpenXR Toolkit on my system, clicking "Disable the OpenXR Toolkit" solved it so DCS starts in VR mode, but without the functionallity provided by OpexXR Toolkit ofc.

Getting the below error on new DCS ver:  2.7.11.22041 Open Beta. Using OpenCompositeACC 0.6.2 and OpenXR Toolkit Beta #3 (1.0.4). U guys get the same?

Cheers

Well OpenXR does not cut it for me. It runs worse at whatever % res i set it to, it sucks even at 20%, does not matter if I have 2xAA off or on. SteamVR runs very smoothly at 100% res. @2xAA. I can wait for multithreading no prob.

Glad for anyone who finds it improving things.

If haze is your primary reason for running Reshade (like me ), try running Taz's fix on Kegety's shader mod. He included a haze fix.

I haven't used VRNS in a while, will check if it's working on mine later. OpenXR should show a user interface in DCS if running. I believe the default to trigger it is Ctrl+F2.

Make sure you don't have a DCS function bound to that. You can also set your own from the OXR companion app.

I set mine to Alt+up down left right

 

 

 

Thank you so much for the input. 

- I did install the shader. Did it manually as OVGME didnt work (because overwriting is necessary?). Can't tell the difference. Would need a key to compare like HOME with reshade 4.9

- Me being an idiot didnt install OpenXR Toolkit. Did this like in initial post. But I cant open menu it in DCS although its open on desktop. Took away CTRL+F2 from the default mapping in DCS but still I cant open it. 

- Bonus question: is 1.0 in Dev Settings of OpenXR equal to 100% in SteamVR?

 

EDIT: Looks like OVGME didnt overwrite OCXR WMR ACC too so I have to try again anyway

Hi ,

I tried installing as per guide above I have tried OVGME and manually adding the files .when I launch DCS in VR I keep getting this error. I have tried everything but no luck .Any Ideas???

I posted on this above also. What i did, not sure which resolved it, 

1. Removed, and re-installed OpenXR Developer Tools for Windows Mixed reality, from the Microsoft APP store. 

2. Re-booted machine, 

3. Made sure WMR is not running when i start DCS. 

Note i followed only the 3 key instructions (no additional addons etc).  

1. Dropped the 3 recommended files (from the OCXR_WMR_ACC package) into the BIN folder, 
2. Set WMR not to start steam, 
3. Installed the OpenXR dev tools.

OK, OpenXR seems to run but DCS crashes everytime I load a mission at 50% - with or without additional shader

[Fish]

Very positive experience for me also..

What i like/notice. 

1. Can have significantly better frames or better image quality, or balance of both. 
2. Can run now without motion smoothing, so getting the benefit of higher frames.
3. No strobing of the image during the loading (now reverts to black, much less irritating). 
4. No STEAM VR needed (and it frequent updating of steam). 
5. Much faster load up. 

Overall much better VR experience with DCS and my G1 (still some life in the old yet!)

If your'e DCS install is anywhere downstream of :\Program Files\ it might be a permissions issue.

right...

[edmuss]

All of the error codes give a reference back to the folder in Jabbah's. I would guess that's where he was developing it and the error code texts could be coded in somehow based on that location.
