Sillyrunner Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 I'm having issues launching DCS. I've - restarted the PC - unplugged all usb peripherals besides mouse and keyboard - deleted my metashaders2 and fx files - run a cleanup and repair - no installed mods outside campaigns and stock aircraft Basically DCS logs in, I see the splash screen, then nothing happens. I have a 5800X3d and 4090 with 64g ram. Here is my log: === Log opened UTC 2024-02-22 19:43:12 2024-02-22 19:43:11.428 INFO EDCORE (Main): system affinity mask: 1111111111111111 2024-02-22 19:43:11.428 INFO EDCORE (Main): process affinity

Solution rob10 Posted February 22, 2024 Solution Posted February 22, 2024 Uncheck the PTC option in your Oculus and restart. It should downgrade the version of Oculus software and solve the issue. 1 1

Never would have figured that out on my own 2
rob10 Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 Very common issue currently and Oculus jumped out with a quick look at the log file . Glad you got it working. I've got about 9 1/2 hours download to go, so looking at forums is only DCS I have currently. 1
Flappie Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 (edited) @Sillyrunner Devs are investigating this issue. Could you please attach your options.lua file? (from Saved Games/DCS.../Config) Edited February 22, 2024 by Flappie 2 ---
adam34aus Posted March 2, 2024 Posted March 2, 2024 Think I have same issue, game logs in see splash screen then screen is all black. How do I find PTC option with Oculus?
Flappie Posted March 2, 2024 Posted March 2, 2024 I found this on Reddit: Put on your headset. Select Apps Select Settings Select Experimental Settings Use the toggle next to Public Test Channel to remove yourself from Quest PTC. ---
ARM505 Posted March 9, 2024 Posted March 9, 2024 I have the same issue. The above options don't work in the the headset's menu itself (there is not such PTC option in the 'Experimental' menu). In the Oculus software that runs on the desktop, there is a PTC switch, mine is OFF. DCS logs in, authenticates, then simply doesn't run. (MT)
hornblower793 Posted March 9, 2024 Posted March 9, 2024 From other posts there was a Meta upgrade this morning to v64 and that means that DCS will not start in VR for Meta users Windows 11 Home ¦ Z790 AORUS Elite AX motherboard ¦ i7-13700K ¦ 64GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory @ 5600MHz ¦ Samsung 990 Pro 1TB SSD for OS, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD for DCS ¦ MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming X Trio 24GB ¦ Virpil WarBRD base with VFX grip, Thrustmaster A10c and F/A-18 grips ¦ VKB Gunfighter Mk4 and MCG Pro ¦ Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle ¦ VKB STECS Throttle ¦ Virpil TCS rotor base with Shark and AH-64D grips ¦ MFG Crosswinds ¦ Total Controls Multi-Function Button Box ¦ Pimax Crystal
ARM505 Posted March 9, 2024 Posted March 9, 2024 (edited) How convenient. One day they'll (edit to add: I mean Meta) employ people who don't randomly break stuff, but today is not that day I guess. Anyway, day x+1 of wishing DCS had a way of selecting VR on or off before launching the software. Yes, yes, DCS launcher (not installed on my new PC, not going to) so it's back to digging around in the .cfg files to turn VR off. It's all good. (edit to add: to those who don't know where this is, it's in 'options.lua' under your C:\Users\*your name*\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta *or whatever yours is called*\Config - under the ["VR"] subsection, look for ["enable"] = and set it to false ) Edited March 9, 2024 by ARM505
DJ3vil Posted March 9, 2024 Posted March 9, 2024 it seems with virtual desktop it still workes (even with using openxr) 1

It should downgrade the version of Oculus software and solve the issue. I never even had that checked, and I am getting the exact same problem with the exact same errors on the log.

See this thread for possible work arounds: I did some research and confirmed that both V63 and V64 even with PTC turned off from 64 and reverting to 63 it is the oculus that is causing the crash. I deleted the saved games folder, launched dcs_updater, signed in, game started fine. Deleted the MT shortcut and dragged a new one (Required, old short cut won't work), game started fine. I guess it's back to 2D until they fix it, if they ever fix it. On 2/22/2024 at 12:31 PM, Sillyrunner said: How are you such a genius? I wasn't even using VR but that totally solved it thank you. Never would have figured that out on my own This will not work if you updated past V63 to V64 with PTC on or went from. So if you are on V63 and didn't update you can roll back but for those that updated to V64. DCS in VR with Oculus is now unplayable.

Had you looked at that thread, you would realize that ED has a fix already and it is in testing (along with other things) and it will be released in the next patch.

No i did not, thank you for the info. However, you do not have to be rude and condescending when saying it. There is no need for that sir. Also, the "in testing" does not 100% guarantee that they will fix it. Though it's good they are working on it. Edited March 27, 2024 by Shibiswag
rob10 Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 Sorry if it comes across as condescending, but there are multiple posts about this and everyone seems to keep just wanting to post looking for answers rather than making any effort to see if it's been reported. So while I enjoy helping people find answers it gets tiresome answering the same question over and over when the information is easily found. And my tone likely comes from your assumption that ED doesn't care enough about the issue to even bother fixing it. And the "fix" has been found and implemented (which you also would have discovered had you looked at the thread) and is in testing to make sure it doesn't break something else.

My concern was that if they could fix it, not that they wouldn't. This barley happened today, as I have not played in a good while, I had my oculus on with auto update and yes, maybe I should have done more research, however I was primally concerned that it was something on my system. File error, corrupted registry, etc... It wouldn't have crossed my mind that it was the actual VR software that was causing the problem, Had I not come on here. I might of went as far as to reformatting my entire system thinking something was severely wrong. So, after exhausting all my options, is when I came on here to start looking around for people who had similar issues. Also, no one is forcing you to respond, despite you trying to help people, if you keep seeing the same post so many times, then simply don't respond to them. Sometimes yes people overlook I myself included and I admit that it's not as if you are assuming that they are just ignoring it outright. Though again, I'm glad they are testing it, and that it will be released in the next patch and that it's "fixed" and they are making sure it doesn't break anything else. However, I will not go on any guarantees on anything until it's actually released and working. So, if everything is going okay with the fix than good. Hopefully they will release it soon and when I download it, I'll keep my fingers crossed it will work just fine. Until than I at least found a fix and posted it for people that want to at least play in 2D until then which I posted. Have a good day. Edited March 27, 2024 by Shibiswag
Shibiswag Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 Found another form that has a tempory work around/fix using SteamVR.

Aries Avenger Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 (edited) Hey all!!! Meta just put out an update / hotfix for the PCVR Link App . . . I am retesting VR now and will post results! HOLD ON . . . This might be an update after I turned on Public Test Channel . . . I turned it off and it automatically wanted to revert to previous version . . . Sorry for any false excitement! Aries . . . out! Edited March 27, 2024 by Aries Avenger
Aries Avenger Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 (edited) Hey just a quick follow up . . . no changes, still crashing to the desktop after 15-year splash screen. Damn the luck !!! To provide some retrospective here . . . This issue was notice after the 2.9 Stable release was announced. If my short cut has the "force_enabled" example: "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin-mt\DCS.exe" --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR DCS crashes. If I use the new version (2.9 stable) without the "force" game launches as intended for 2D. So this begs the question. Is DCS using a proprietary version of OpenXR.runtime ??? Edited March 27, 2024 by Aries Avenger
Sillyrunner Posted April 1, 2024 Author Posted April 1, 2024 The solved issue came up again sadly. Uninstalling my Oculus software was the only fix as of now
todd022 Posted April 1, 2024 Posted April 1, 2024 I'm having this same issue with my reverb G2...I'm not convinced this is solely an oculus problem. [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
