The only thing that you must remember is, everytime than DCS actualices (see the web) launch the DCS_updater.exe to download the new version. Thanks, tried that, and it still launches in 2D with system-wide installer set to OpenComposite and DCS set to OpenComposite... I give up .

M1Combat Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I did mean that file yes. I have no other suggestions. I had an issue before where it would only launch in 2D unless I set OC back to use steam VR, then it would run steamvr just fine. I had to place that 64bit .dll from the manual OC install in the bin folder or it wouldn't work. Still the case for me and I'm not sure why.

M1Combat Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I would probably try resetting the environment in windows and WMR... and maybe run the OXR environment once to see what you get in there. Do you get head tracking in WMR before DCS?

Do you get head tracking in WMR before DCS? I've tried that unfortunately and it makes no odds. Yes, tracking is fine in wmr. As I mentioned using the older packaged version of the dll also still works, which is what's so confusing. 12900KF | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 5200 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodak Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 18 hours ago, zildac said: I've got an odd issue, so previously using the system-wide installer OR the standalone (DCS local file version) I could launch DCS in VR without issue and all was good. However, after updating open composite (system-wide OR using the standalone DLLs) DCS never launches in VR just 2D. If I switch back to older versions of the stand alone DLLs then VR is fine. Any ideas? Find your OpenComposite folder, open the Runtime folder and delete everything, than run the OpenComposite Switcher app again, it will auto update and your issue is more than likely fixed. Some of the updates seem to corrupt with old settings files that remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dock999 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Hi I just wonder if anyone has got any clue of how to get the method to work for IL2 Battle x in Steam VR? The method instructed from the beginning of the topic works very well in DCS , which has made a huge difference. However I tried it in IL2 Battle X under steam VR , the IL2 just either hung there forever or crushed to desk. I have switched the runtime to OpenComposite and copy the 3 files in OCXR(https://gitlab.com/Jabbah/opeien-composite-acc/-/releases) to the IL2 direct : ...bin/game/ , but the result was poor . Anyone has got any advice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaltokri Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 It worked for me after I reversed everything to defaults and deleted all stuff. Then I downloaded the right zip file (choose the right branch), unblocked the zip file (very important), extracted it and added "run as administrator" to the exe properties before the first start in the compatibility options. But I need to do the manual install (put 64bit dll file to bin folder) also (unblock dll file, too). Then it worked. I wasted some hours until I realised this unblock stuff. If you don't do it, the extracted files won't work and you don't get any warning or error messages. Maybe this (unblock) information should be added the the guide?

Same here, had to put the manual install 64 bit file in before it would work for me, which it works just fine without the Open Composite switcher with only that file in, so I removed the switcher.
