Recommended Posts

I have problems with DCS generate black screen in VR headset and freezes game in WMR.

 

Using HP G2, Windows Mixed Reality + OpenXR + OpenXR Toolkit and DCS native settings

"F:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS.exe" --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR

 

System spec:

Lates DCS-beta, Win 11, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Nvidia RTX4090, 32 Gb RAM

 

See attached 3 x log files.

Crasch 1 dcs.log Crasch 2 dcs.log Crasch 3 dcs.log

Did you change the launch method? I had a similar issue after trying to use SteamVR, the shortcut with the - -force_OpenXR argument caused a crash. SteamVR had messed up the dll-s. I managed to clean that up but not quite to get a good performance. Same headset, 5800x (no 3d) and ram but AMD GPU.

First I located the problem for the blackout/crash.

It seems like DCS don’t like Turbo mode on in OpenXR Toolkit ver. 1.2.3 when its on DCS locks after some time in VR.

Launch method: I use DCS native support for OpenXR no Steam or OpenComposite app installed.

Did you resolved the problem? I have similar experience. Game freezes and turns black screen for some seconds once in a while usually while in busy places. In multiplayer it often and crashing to the ground. Very annoying.

As I wrote earlier, this problem was the result of turbo mode in an old version of OpenXR Toolkit ver. 1.2.3.

But I also had the problem afterwards as a result of a headset that was defective, The headset freezes for 1-2 seconds, then it wakes up again for about 10 seconds, after which it freezes again for 1 second, after which it works without problems.

I had the headset replaced under warranty via Hp. which solved the problem temporarily but unfortunately the "new" headset has developed a "black screen" problem and won't boot so I don't think this problem is DCS related but a result of of, two a row faulty, headsets from HP.

So I have decided to replace my headset with a Varjo Aero instead.

Always; always do any troubleshooting at all without any third party software running.

Unbelievable, the same day Don posted this he posted a farewell in Chit-chat, falling victim to cancer, and he was gone ~10 days later.  Great guy, always there with advice and help, he will be missed..
