Problem DCS now not starting with Open XR in my Aero

[dburne]

Ugh guess I am going to have to uninstall and try and delete the reg entry. Amazing how deep this thing buries itself in one's system, it has me absolutely pulling my hair out. No idea why it worked fine for about 3 days then blammo with no easy way to get it back.

I'm confused. No idea why it's causing a crash for you. TBH you don't *need* OXRTK so you could just disable it for the time being, given you'll likely be wanting to play with the patch later

Can you look to see what your \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OpenXR_Toolkit\DCS World registry setting looks like?  If the nuke worked, it should be virtually empty (2 or 3 settings tops).  If it is still full of settings, then it didn't reset properly.

Ok finally got it  - whew!!!

Uninstalled OXRTK followed by deleting the Open XR Toolkit reg entry, has now gotten the Toolkit back working for me. At least now I know I will have to delete the reg entry if it happens again so much thanks!!

I have absolutely zero idea what I might could have done that caused this issue to start with.

OK cool. Well, at least it's working now Just in time to try the MT patch when it hopefully drops today

Nuke option worked in safe mode - however when I take it out of safe mode I am right back to it crashing when launching DCS.

I suspect you might not have hit "Confirm?" when doing this. Because it would have deleted the registry key like you ended up doing later.

The issue you had was most likely conflicting settings somewhere between either the game and OpenXR Toolkit or Varjo and OpenXR Toolkit. This is an unfortunate consequence of multiple components contributing to a complex state.

The Safe mode + Restore Defaults is meant to address exactly that.

Don, try to reinstall the wrapper again.  After the firmware update the wrapper needs to be reinstalled or it might not work properly.  If that still doesn't work then reset Varjo Aero to factory setting.

Your a little behind. 

Look a few posts up, have solved this already. Culprit was Open XR Toolkit, once I fully nuked it everything was fine again. I must have somehow got a setting changed in there that it did not like.

Thanks,
