some extra fixes were added, but assembling the build took longer than expected, so best to take our time and have a unrushed release tomorrow. thank you for your patience

PM me your cell phone number. When the patch is released I will call you, and you can pretend it's your wife saying a pipe busted in your house.

Downloaded in seconds, but now it's validating and that takes a long long time.

Simply an incredible changelog! :thumbup:

 

Though regarding the Ropucha I being added to Ukraine and Yemen, has it also been added for the USSR? I only ask as I'm unable to test at the moment (some of my laptop's capacitors went bang and my new system isn't fully there yet).

Edit: disregard, checked this and it appears to be present.

So from the FAQ it looks like you have to run VR in open xr with MT? is that correct? I hadn't actually tried open xr yet as I was fine on oculus as it was... maybe I missed the point....

How many are affected by this?

  • DCS won’t start on a PC with CPU with 32 CPU threads (or more).

I had to check my CPU and I have nice low number of 16.

Thank You very much ED, this OB update is really an unexpected and very rich surprise. The download will begin soon, in the meantime I read the changelog and then we'll fly. That's pity for issues related to the SC. Anyway thanks again.

People who have for example a 5950X, or 7950X CPU. The FAQ says those people should disable SMT.

I think they are just showing an example of the command line.

I see no reason why "C:\DCS Open Beta\bin-mt\DCS.exe" --force_enable_VR wouldn't work for example

Is this what you're referring to? Yes, can we get confirmation that we don't have to actually force OpenXR to add the MT parameter?

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. At work now so I can't test.

I am currently downloading but it has slowed to a crawl, not even 50% there yet.

Yes, I sort of assumed that Open XR wasn't really for oculus users as its all natively supported, but never actually got around to trying it out.

Those CPUs have 16 cores 32 threads so no need to disable SMT. Disable SMT only if more than 32 threads.
