Cant get mouse to work with Vr and 2.9

[Gun Jam]

This is has always been an issue and ive never figured it out but I usually had 90% success rate with the mouse working with Vr. When it didn't I could restart a few times and usually get it.

Now with 2.9 I can't seem to get the mouse to work ever. If I pull the HMD off I can use the mouse with the HMD on it does not respond.

This is with Hp reverb G2 and dcs with the MT tag added to the shortcut.

Thanks!

I have seen this occur randomly with the previous versions and had to restart everything to get it to work. I haven't updated to 2.9 yet.

This happend to me occasionally. G2 as well here…

Have you tried starting WMR independently before opening DCS? Usually this fixes it for me usually.

got also an issiue here, non of the contollers gets regoniced in DCS. but my leap motion is shown, even when its of in spezial??? never had that before

Yes I normally start WMR first then launch DCS. This order no longer helps

Thanks!

Two possible solutions:

a) DCS is not out of focus and

b) you tried to switch with Windows + Y.

I did get it to work by using the win y solution and some trickery.

To get this to work I have to first alt /tab to another program so DCS is out of focus then with the head set on win y and ill see the mouse cursor move on the out of focus dcs screen. Then alt / tab back to DCS so its in focus and the mouse work but it also appears to crash maybe 60% of the time within 30 seconds of getting the mouse to work.. But when it doesn't crash it seems fine. I think this will do for now until they get it ironed out a bit more.

This is a WMR issue. There is manual and an automatic mode for the Win Y thing. Perhaps switching the mode is an option for you.

I hated this Win Y mouse problems while using WMR too.

From one of my other posts: So this is what I do every time I start a (usually like 3 hour ) VR session:

1. Reboot PC
2. Launch WMR by plugging in Reverb
3. Set the center using WMR
4. Optional - Ensure OpenXR toolkit is up
5. Launch VoiceAttack (I cannot use VR without it!)
6. Launch Focus Guard (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3330231/)
7. Launch DCS

I hardly ever have a centering issue inside DCS after all that. Now, if it crashes I could just launch DCS again, and it is usually centered correctly 9 times out of 10. But, because it crashed, you may want to clear the buffers, and the fxo/metashaders folders and start over.

Also, concur with firefox121 regarding lighting. The Reverb (and a lot of other HMDs) rely on external lighting to function correctly.
