DCS crash on start

[markturner1960]

Hi, have changed nothing and DCS was working fine yesterday. Today, it wont start. I tried using VR and got an error message from WMR portal about the cable being plugged in and my screen apps all went large size. I restarted and WMR is all OK, no error messages, but DCS crashes on start up with an error message as follows:

"Open composite direct x error, see log for details. OOVR_FAILED_DX_ABORT failed on create device res"

Can anyone help please? ( I am running open XR I should add.) 

Edit, I just did a full repair after uninstalling my mods and it still wont start, even in 2D. Here is the crash log text, any ideas?

what does the error say about the likely cause? Is it internal to the main DCS folder, or possibly something in the saved games?
