OpenXR

[Talon444]

So my Occulus quest 2 stutters horribly now with shaded lines all over my aircraft and carrier deck after the update. In the past I only used the Occulus debug tool to tweak things and that's all I ever needed. I tried updating all drivers and even reinstalled DCS with no improvement. Two big questions I have are, does Windows 10 already have OpenXR installed or is that something separate I should install. Also the same for Mixed Reality......is this already an ap in Windows? I've never needed to use anything else in the past like I said other than the Occulus debug tool and obviously tuning in game settings and always had decent gameplay. I'm really out of ideas and trying to avoid going back to trackir. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OpenXR is an API that runs natively with the Oculus Software. No need to install anything. DCS runs also on the Oculus API by default with 2.8.2.35759 Open Beta but there are still some visual and gpu performance issues even on Oculus API right now. OpenXR runs only with a special command line shortcut (DCS.exe --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR).

If you want to play DCS without these issues, I suggest you roll back from OpenBeta to Stable DCS 2.8.1.34667.2.

OpenBeta is a VR mess since DCS 2.8.2.35632.

I hope they figure this out with the next updates, I also stopped playing right now.

Thank you for the clarification. I was pretty sure that was the case but man, I hope they come up with another hot fix or update soon.

Hello

Last dcs hotfix should allow you to use native occulus api ( just enable vr )

 Open xr is activated with a specific command Line parameter for now, 

so you can chose the api to use since last hotfix

Shaded lines is a shadow bug that they already are working to fix it, its not VR related as it happens to on 2D
