Quest 2 not recognizing DCS MT

[Brass2-1]

Hi all, this issue popped up and random over the weekend - no software updates, no hardware changes. 
 

When I launch DCS via a force-VR MT shortcut, it loads correctly in VR mode; however my Quest 2 fails to enter the game and only displays my desktop. 
 

When I command DCS through the non-MT BIN using the Skatezilla launcher, I have no issues (apart from losing MT, of course). 
 

Is there some setting, whether DCS or Oculus, which can cause this?

what's the parameters of your shortcut?

"E:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin-mt\DCS.exe" --force_enable_VR

 

This is unchanged from when the shortcut functioned. Thanks for checking in, @SkateZilla

Try:
 

E:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin-mt\DCS.exe" --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR

or
 

E:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin-mt\DCS.exe" --force_enable_VR --force_oculus_VR

That worked. Many thanks.

This issue has cropped back up, again failing to initialize DCS in the headset despite launching in VR mode. 

 

Also, the main EXE now launches in 2D mode, despite having 'enable virtual reality' checked in the settings. Any more ideas @SkateZilla?

check the shortcuts, make sure they weren't changed.

The shortcut is unchanged, but I discovered in the DCS Log the following:

 

2023-05-28 09:08:41.775 ERROR   VISUALIZER (Main): OpenXR exception: runtime is not available

 

However, OpenXR does run fine in another sim.
