OpenXR Motion Reprojection enabled causes DCS to freeze on main menu/mission load


Recommended Posts

DCS Version: DCS 2.8.2.35759 Open Beta

Bug: When using OpenXR with MotionReprojection enabled (set to "Always on"), DCS will freeze as soon as loaded into the main menu.

This is using a clean install with no mods,
Hardware setup: WMR with Reverb G2, current version of WMR + OpenXR + OpenXR Tools for WMR.
OpenXR Toolkit Companion app is not enabled for this demonstration.

 

Steps to reproduce (reproduces 100% of the time):

1. Open "OpenXR Tools for Windows Mixed Reality", ensure Motion Reprojection is set to "Always on")

-> Note: When set to either "disabled" or "automatic", motion reprojection will not be enabled in DCS world.

2. Ensure DCS is launched with OpenXR is enabled ( DCS.exe launched with flags --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR )

3. DCS will now freeze either at main menu or while loading into any instant mission menu. This is repeatable for me, with 6 retrials having 2 x hang on menu (both occuring as run 1 and run 2), and subsequently hanging on mission load. No error message is displayed with the freeze.

4. If above steps are completed following "OpenXR Tools for Windows Mixed Reality" Motion reprojection set to "disabled" or "automatic", no freezing occurs at the main menu or during mission loading.

 

Note as it is a spontaneous hang there does not seem to be much in the DCS log.
I believe that this is already a known bug, but I believe in the discord there were mentions this was fixed. See above steps to illustrate this is still an ongoing issue in the latest version of DCS OpenBeta.

Hi, it is already known that forcing motion reprojection on is creating issues for some users. 

for now if you do have issues please use auto or off for motion reprojection

thanks

Good, just made this post as a number of people on the discord have mentioned this is fixed when it is still an active bug. Thanks!

Yes seems it worked for some and not others, we are looking into it 

thanks

If it helps I am able to use motion reprojection when using OpenXR Toolkit Companion App to force reprojection. I suspect perhaps those reporting motion reprojection is working are using the OpenXR Toolkit Companion App rather than OpenXR Tools for WMR to enable reprojection.

Thanks!

thx for that tip. That solved my issue. Can confirm after testing. for VR, the ST version freezes on main menu or during mission load when forcing reprojection mode on WMR with openxr. 
Disabling motion reprojection on WMR for openxr and then forcing it on again with openxr companion tools works.

Yeah for some reason that worked for me as well. Having motion reprojection in the OpenXR toolkit crashes DCS on startup. Enforcing it with the OpenXR toolkit companion app however works. 🤷‍♂️

Same issue here.  But when I turn it on in the toolkit, it says I have to restart the VR session in order for the setting to take effect. But if I restart my WMR session, DCS closes. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere where I can restart my VR session while DCS remains running?

I'm confused as to how to get back to my old settings which were working fine before. I can load DCS with OpenXR toolkit either "Disabled" (where I can't make any changes to OpenXR) or in "Safe" mode but any changes while in that mode don't seem to take affect. How can I start over?
