epoch Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Maybe try this: Gets rid of the Steam VR requirement. For me it's massively improved performance. It might help you with your issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLUTON Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Thanks I'll try and see if I can work it out and install Open XR without crashing thank you for your answer because since I am in vr (1 month) I only have crashing problems with Steamvr and I'm fed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLUTON Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Honestly too complicated for me even with the guide I could not do it and in addition it seems to me that even some still have problems with open xr install what to do??? Could you tell me how to return to the previous version of dcs open beta please?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) Please attach your dcs.log file, @PLUTON ("Saved Games\DCS...\Logs_dcs.log"). We'll make it work. If you're using SteamVR beta, you can try the regular SteamVR. Edited April 7, 2022 by Flappie Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Could you tell me how to return to the previous version of dcs open beta please?? I agree, the guide is unnecessarily convoluted. It really is a simple is placing the mod in a folder, and downloading a Windows store app. Maybe look at it once you've overcome your current problem. Bonne chance!

PLUTON Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Mr flappie thank you for your answer when I put my G2 on my head wmr starts and steam vr follows and the window is impeccable and when dcs loads the steam vr window starts to shake and jerk then crashes and that since I did the update on Wednesday and even dcs stable does the same. Why does it work overnight?? I see that the update. I use the version of steam vr that the steam site offers dcs.log.old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I don't see any issue in your log. If you revert to the previous OB update, tell us if it fixes the issue. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLUTON Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 Here, sir flappie, I went back to the previous version and that did not improve my problem. I repaired dcs open beta + stable, I reinstalled wmr and steam vr and each time I launch dcs either stable or ob steam vr crashes and a window tells me (steam vr has encountered a critical error) in short, it aut that I restart it at least 10/12 times so that from time to time it works 1 or 2 times. But when it works it works well; smooth as butter 44 to 48 fps. What I would like is that it no longer crashes that's all I don't ask for more tank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 OK, this was a useful test: it means your issue has nothing to do with the latest DCS update, I guess. Let's concentrate on SteamVR since this is the one that crashes. Have you tried opting out of the SteamVR beta? Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

PLUTON Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 The version I have is the beta version 1.22.5 and there is a version 1.21.12 Otfix of March 16, 2022 but when I want to download steamvr it does not offer to choose they automatically put the hotfix and the 1.22.5 update. M. Flappie do you have a trick to have a non-beta steam vr version?? And how do we deactivate the beta version of steamvr??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Here's how to enable (or disable) SteamVR beta.

Rebo Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Got the same problem. Seems to be a problem with the latest SteamVR. Did a slow repair of DCS and a full deinstall of SteamVR and nothing worked. SteamVR crashes, as soon the Jet is visible on desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebo Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Yes, followed these instructions to deinstall SteamVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLUTON Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 In some cases, removing SteamVR completely, including all settings, helps. To do so, follow these steps: Remove SteamVR from the Steam Library; Manually delete the SteamVR folder from ...\Steam\steamapps\common Delete the steamvr.vrsettings file from ...\Steam\config Delete the lighthousedb.json file from ...\Steam\config\lighthouse Install SteamVR what I did but strange the file ( lighthousedb.json ) does not exist in Steam/config/lighthouse, I don't know why. I will reinstall steamvr cleanly and see if ( lighthousedb.json ) now exists or not and if it works. I'll tell you Mr. Flappie what happens. In the steamvr beta tools window is entered in the NONE box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLUTON Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 ( lighthousedb.json ) still missing in \Steam\config\lighthouse is this file missing or is this normal? In the meantime it still crashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLUTON Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 Apparently we can't choose the version we want they updated my version with the latest update 10 mins ago and it still doesn't work (Steam starts by seriously breaking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I'm reading info about SteamVR on Reddit. Please ensure Windows Hardware Accelerated GPU Sceduling is disabled. (source) In French, go to "Paramètres" > "Jeux" > "Paramètres graphiques" (down below) and disable what is called "Planification de processeur graphique à accélération matérielle".

Rebo Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Thats was disabled before. Really think SteamVR has broken something with the latest Update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
