solved After updating to the latest beta, DCS crashes when loading any BS3 mission in VR

[cuervo111]

It works in 2D mode but crashes every time in VR. It was fine right before updating. I know because I was just having an unrelated issue with it a couple of days ago

If you don't provide any file, we won't be able to help.

Please attach the latest ZIP file from your "Saved Games/DCS.../Logs" folder.

Thank you. Unfortunately, your crash zip does not contain the full dcs.log file. Can you please attach the MT dcs.log?

Hi, this is caused by some very recent ingame MSAA bug. For some reason, MSAA=0 setting does crash DCS for some users.

Please try this:

1. Set MSAA x4 then fly.
2. No CTD? Then set MSAA x2.
3. Still no CTD? Now try no MSAA. It will probably crash, but one user said this worked.

Sorry @Flappie I haven't gone back to this after a while. I updated DCS to the latest open beta yesterday, I just tried the BS3 and now it seems to be working again. 

 

Thanks for your help!

Great! Thanks for your feedback.
