Game crashing on start: started at 12:00 am Pacific time, smashing head on wall since digging through computer. With or without my VR, I flew a few hours thursday night without issues. Then 12 am 02-16-2024 Kablooey!

Are you sure it's not VR only? The latest Oculus PTC is causing DCS to crash just after the splash screen.

Mine crashes right after the splash screen. How do I fix this? Do I have to go to public release only on oculus?

[BIGNEWY]

please attach your dcs log from the session it will have some clues 

 

Remove all unofficial mods and run a repair or verify if steam

thank you

same here, but only in vr and oculus, my other installs running fine. splash screen, then windows: dcs isn‘t running…end. did repair and all that…

[BIGNEWY]

are you running the early access oculus software? 

[-Sledgehammer-]

yes, i do…

[-Sledgehammer-]

i changed from beta to normal (unsubscribed the ptc) and now it works again.

 

[BIGNEWY]

thanks for confirming. 

it has been reported to the team 

[Ramstein]

my log file DCS refuses to run and crashes starting this morning at midnight. I see that someone figured out is was the VR fools at FB, Meta who frakked us all, they caused this Fiasco! I hope no one ever buys their products! I wish I had not.

 

Sorry for posting in here thinking DCS was the cause...

Is this with an Oculus VR headset (log file seems to think so). If so it is an issue with the latest early access software

I turned off "public test channel" in the oculus software then let it download and reinstall the stable version and the problem was solved very happy!

That's only a temporary solution though. Meta forced Steam to change their VR code in the last couple of weeks. I expect they expect all VR companies to follow suit. It's only a matter of weeks before Meta push this change out to everyone whether or not they are on the PTC.
