It's GREAT to have someone like you testing this Ciri :).  Thank you.
You're welcome!

I'm recommending it to everyone

The foveated rendering is the icing on the cake and helps keep everything running well for me. So happy with it.

I was genuinely considering selling my G2 but no longer!

Hello all,

I have a weird problem with OpenXR and G2. Reinstalled everything by the book yesterday after updating DCS. Finally got it to work and DCS start in VR and I can fly Hind and Huey BUT after a few minutes the screen in my G2 goes black, I can see on my monitor that tracking and image is still working but no image in the G2. After hours of testing I could get the image back by clicking on the desktop do a Win-Y to change focus to VR, wait for a few seconds and then the image reappear in the headset, then Win-Y again and click back to DCS. DCS is running at all times during this. Problem is that the fix is only temporary so after a while it goes black again and I have to do the same again - really annoying. I do love the OpenXR VR fix though because when it works I get so much better performance on my RTX 3060 card.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could cause this?

/Peter

I've had a couple of instances of my G2 just going completely black but with DCS still running and responding on the desktop mirror as you describe; I'd not figured out a fix though so I'll try the win+Y trick thanks.  I don't know if there is a specific trigger and I haven't so far done enough testing to attribute it to DCS or openxr/toolkit, however if your fix with the win+Y is repeatable I would hazard a guess that it is more to do with WMR putting the headset to sleep, it might be worth just checking the settings on that one, windows update could have altered the behaviour somewhere.

I'll do some digging but I happily flew an hour in the black shark last night without a hitch 🙂

Thanks for the response, I was suspecting something like that and have the sleep setting to "Let windows decide" but I will try to change that to see if there is a difference. I have not found a specific trigger that causes this either and the time seem, if not random so at least not the same all the time inbetween loosing the image.

I think mine is set to always on (when WMRP is running) but I haven't checked it and there's no saying that a windows update hasn't reset it.

I tried that yesterday and unfortunately, I receive an error message: "OpenXR Call failed, aborting".

 

I noticed that there is a post with someone having the same error message, has this problem been solved (without grinding through 80 pages of postings 😉 )?

Go to that post and read from there :).

 

I'm not sure what the problem is but I'd run through the install destructions "exactly".  Including removing all mods (for now...  add them back after to see if any break it), do the clean/repair step, all of it.  For the D3D47 file... delete it instead of rename...

Hi, Finally I installed it plus OpenXR Toolkit 1.1.3. We'll see this tool.

Where is settings for Sharpness (I need something like in Reshade VR)? I dont see it :(.

Just to double check, what do I need to do before I update DCS? This is currently working great for me! But a new DCS update just dropped

All I had to do post update is delete(again) the D3DCompiler_47.dll from bin

Thx, I see it now, however the differnce between 0-100% is very small. Its noticable but not strong like in Reshade or maybe I did something wrong? I tested NIS and FSR too (with restarting DCS).

I have mine set like this and now use 1.0.5 of the OpenXR toolkit as the colours are far, far better.

I also now have Saturation to Selective, RED @ 90, Green @100 and Blue @ 100.

I restarted the PC. When I retried, it did not crash, but it lauched SteamVR when I started DCS. I had OpenComposite Running ("Status: Open Composite") and have the openvr_api.dll in the DCS\bin\ folder replaced with the downloaded one (1389kb size). However, the fpsVR-Overlay stated that, despite it launched SteamVR, "Open Composite DCS" was running. Is that supposed to be that way? 

 

Furthermore, I discovered the following registry-entry:

Is it supposed to be that way? Can someone who has it working look it up?

It works now. Apparently, having SteamVR in the registry as active runtime avoided it from working properly. 

I downloaded this little tool:

https://github.com/WaGi-Coding/OpenXR-Runtime-Switcher

It basically looks up the common directories where the VR runtimes are installed and changes the registry entry accordingly when chosing another runtime. I switched the runtime to WMR and now it works. Might also be interesting if you have multiple headsets, I have a Quest 2, too.

Once here - is there any opportunity to get an overlay that shows me the actual current resolution I am running the game in? fpsVR for SteamVR was fine, but that does not work of course without SteamVR.

nullI can't use in composite...any time the same error..if i use steamvr, dcs run but i cant open (cntrl+f2) any menu?

 

any idea?

 

thx

this failure is normally as a result of leaving the DLL in place as per step 5

5) Delete your D3DCompiler_47.dll inside the Bin folder of your DCS Install

you have to redo it every time DCS gets up dated
