The strange thing is for me the performance is worse with OpenXR than with SteamVR which was really dissapointing. I can run solid 45FPS with reprojection at 0.8PD in DCS and 100% SS in Steam VR, but the same settings with OpenVR result in 30FPS. All I did was replaced the two files 'openvr_api and D3DCompliler_47 in my bin folder and added opencomposite.ini. Am I missing something? When I installed OpenXR Toolkit, I just get a blank screen, Any ideas? From my understanding, running anything other than a 1.0 PD in DCS with OpenXR causes some issues. I havent tried it yet honestly. When I first tried OpenXR, it was amazing. Then I kept fiddling trying to get that ever last decimal point worth of extra clarity or smoothness (both...really) and screwed it up. It took me a couple days of fiddling and downloading/redownloading files and trying various settings to get back what I had before. Cant really explain it other than theres some weird relationships with the OpenXR files needed that cause things to get wonky if you dont get everything exactly how it needs to be. I have it working great now (well...everything except certain missions in Syria because I'm limited by the junky DCS engine), and its incredible again. But I'm just not fiddling with it anymore lol.

M1Combat Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 " I'm limited by the junky DCS engine" It's not junk friend. Leave the hate at the door. It's trying to do WAY more than the other flight sim engines out there. Please be sure to be informed if you care to argue with me. I have no time to inform you.

Taterbootz Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 It’s a junky engine lol. Think what you want, it was designed a decade ago and not updated or optimized. You can’t “inform” me of anything I don’t already know, so I’m glad you have no time to. 1 MSI X790 Carbon Wifi, 13900K, MSI 4090 Suprim X, 64gb DDR5 6400CL30, HP Reverb G2, VKB NXT Evo, VKB STECS Max, Thrustmaster rudder pedals

If you did you would see things like it doesn't work with PD set in DCS. Thanks, I did follow the instructions and OXR is running, but for me SVR is clearer and headtracking is more responsive. It was worth the try, but no benefit for me especially not worth the loss of necksafer. I have to say I am really pleased with the VR performance in DCS at the moment, but we all know that may not last!

I say that because you mentioned getting a black screen which can happen if things are not set up properly. At least early on having DCS PD at anything other then 1 would cause a black screen. If you get the blue wall coming together type screen/graphic when you fire up DCS as opposed to the black steam vr one then implies that oxr is working though. Quite strange how many see a very large and immediate difference but some don't or even the opposite. I half expected to be wasting my time, am normally a sceptic with these things, but immediately noticed even text on the menus and loading screens was much better with OXR and then framerates were also much better. Has got to be some reason for the different experiences with different setups. Now I use OXR with other games as well like iracing, also an improvement. Edited June 6, 2022 by ignition22
