dooom Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 hey all - i have used dcs in vr plenty over the last year and it was always working quite as expected. Today i tried to launch using my VR shortcut (worked last week) and it keeps launching into a window in vr as opposed to a 3d space... That is to say my headset is working ... i'm looking at my desktop window in the G2 and when i launch DCS in vr it opens in a small window that looks like the VR preview window (it has that shaded black "oval" outline etc) I tried a skatezilla repair and it doesnt seem to help... any ideas?

Phantom711 Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 @dooom How about WMR? Does it start? Is it set as OpenXR runtime? vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.
dooom Posted January 2, 2024 Author Posted January 2, 2024 @The_Nephilim the file location is correct - its pointing to the bin-mt exe as expected. My path is correct i think.. nothing changed there: "E:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin-mt\DCS.exe" --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR does that look right to you? @Phantom711 WMR opens and i can see DCS launch into the 2D window on the wall of my WMR cliff house.

Phantom711 Posted January 2, 2024 Posted January 2, 2024 Have you done anything else with your HMD since DCS last worked? Did you play any other games? vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.
dooom Posted January 2, 2024 Author Posted January 2, 2024 @Phantom711 No sir. I really only play DCS. I think my boy played the forest a while back but I have successfully played in the huey since then. I might just reinstall ... i really dont want to though.

How do you normally launch dcs. skatezilla or desktop icon. Edited January 2, 2024 by freehand
dooom Posted January 3, 2024 Author Posted January 3, 2024 i launch via desktop - usually i right click and run as admin. I have two desktop icons - one with the vr properties and one just pointing at the multithread exe.

Johnny Dioxin Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 (edited) I had this recently - posted here about it, too. It just sorted itself out one time - no idea why or how it stopped starting VR and same why it decided to start in VR again - I changed nothing, but I did try lots of different things to no avail. The response on the forum I got was that it's nothing new. I remember having the same issue a year or two ago, as well.

Nedum Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 Hi, if the game is not starting in VR, it tries to use the wrong environment. It looks like it wants to start in SteamVR, but your shortcut settings lead to OpenXR and with that it will only start in 2D. Check your Steam VR settings, if set disable OpenXR runtime support.

Ensure you are using MT DCS and VR is enabled. Ensure the G2 is using the openXR runtime if all of that is done you should have no issues. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

dooom Posted March 30, 2024 Author Posted March 30, 2024 its doing it again... it seemed to resolve on its own and now after a few months its doing it again. I launch MT VR OpenXR like i always do and it opens in a window on my cliff house wall... the window looks like its in the 3d world though.. strange. its like i'm looking at a 3d movie on the wall of the cliff house. dcs.log ASUS Tuf Gaming Pro x570 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @ 3.8 / XFX Radeon 6900 XT / 64 GB DDR4 3200 "This was not in the Manual I did not read", cried the Noob" - BMBM, WWIIOL
The_Nephilim Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 it soundslike you have bigscreen enabled or similar??

Oldahpilot Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 Whenever I find myself looking at the 2D bigscreen rather than the true 3D DCS environment, I check the VR settings tab in the DCS menus on the opening screen and find the 'use VR headset' box unticked.
dooom Posted April 2, 2024 Author Posted April 2, 2024 nope - nothing changed.... i checked. dunno. hopefully it will resolve on its own like last time ASUS Tuf Gaming Pro x570 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @ 3.8 / XFX Radeon 6900 XT / 64 GB DDR4 3200 "This was not in the Manual I did not read", cried the Noob" - BMBM, WWIIOL
