Heads up: Oculus v63 breaks Hand Tracked Cockpit Clicking (HTCC)

[slughead]

If, like me, you use Fred Emmott's great HTCC (hand tracking for flight simulator cockpit clicking) OpenXR app with a Quest Pro or Quest 3 to control the mouse pointer with your hands, v63 of the Oculus Link PC app breaks it. Yes, the great v63 release strikes again!

Unfortunately, because of the v63 Oculus / DCS crash issue, I haven't been able to use DCS and v63 together to discover this extra treat from Meta.

@NineLine, maybe it could be helpful if I am part of the DCS closed beta team so I could find these bugs earlier in the development cycle, just as I did back in early February by reporting the v63 DCS crash the day the Meta beta build was issued.

Here is the link to HTCC for anyone interested in using it. It also works with other headsets and the Ultrleap motion controller.

v63 has been a bit of a perfect storm.

Hopefully, Fred will be able to fix it soon.

Meanwhile... I'm back on v62, as I kept a backup of the Oculus folder for just this kind of problem!

Here's a workaround from Fred....

Delete or rename dbghelp.dll in the DCS bin-mt and bin directory.

It appears that both Oculus and DCS are trying to load different versions of it, which causes the problem.

@NineLine @BIGNEWY, it may be worth raising this with the dev team to see if it can be resolved in a future DCS release.

Thanks for sharing the workaround info. v64 PC app broke it again for me and renaming was the fix
