Bobstar Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Dear All, Downloaded the latest update today. All was well in VR for 5 minutes until, I tried to open my DCS FPS counter, this would not open but, the secondary info page would. After this issue, DCS failed and from that moment on I have had no power to my G2 Headset, completely dead. I've been running my headset for well over a year with no problems whatsoever, until now. I'm not sure how an update could be responsible for this, to a 'biff' like me this would suggest a hardware issue that's purely coincidental? Any thoughts? Everything working well in 2D with decent improvements with regards fps.
Sh4rk Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Probably a coincidence. You may also have had a PSU shortage of power issue - since DCS MT uses more CPU along with the GPU, it'll tax your system more than DCS previously did. Did you try plugging the headset to another display port, and maybe a monitor to the headset's current port to see if it is the issue?
Bobstar Posted March 14, 2023 Author Posted March 14, 2023 Thanks for that. I haven't carried out any major invest as yet, I'll do what you have suggested today. Thanks again.
Nodak Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 You getting a power on white light on your connector box? Same happened to me, the power adapter failed, seems DCS with MT it needs more juice, was probably weak already, been continuously plugged in for just over two years. It's basically a laptop power adapter, don't think they were meant to be plugged in full time. Good news is they're abundant and cheap, HP uses pretty much the same one for all their equipment. Plenty of compatible adapters available out there. 19.5Volt, 2.31amp, 45Watt
