Hello virtual Pilots,

to make this clear first: i know BIGNEWYS "DCS now supports OpenXR natively" post from jan. 26th and i tried everything exactly as written there.

DCS stopped working in VR-Mode. Everytime i start the game it starts in "normal" (non-vr) mode.

So far I tried:

- steam-repair (multiple times).
- renaming the DCS User-Folder to have it reset.
- going back to steamvr non-beta update.
- uninstalled and re-installed varjo Base software.
- also reinstalled the mbuccia wrapper after reinstalling the varjo base software.
- uninstalled varjo base software and tried a previous version but no sucess.
- uninstalled and reinstalled DCS.
- disabled openXR-toolkit.
- set openXR-toolkit in "safe mode".
- disabled mbuccia wrapper.
- started from desktop using shortcut with start-parameters "--force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR".
- uninstalled XRNecksafer and openXR-Toolkit .
- reinstalled openXR-Toolkit.
- doublechecked that openXR option is ON in varioBase-Software and made shortcut from DCS.exe in bin-MT folder. tried to start from that link with and without --force_openxr argument.

The only thing i could find out is that the non-MT Version does start in VR but the MT Version of the game does NOT (anymore).
I am using the steam-version of DCS via openxr (VarjoXR). (I am also running il2 which works with not problems so the hardware works fine).

For detailed informations i will attach the log-file and the DxDiag.txt to this post. If i am missing something which could be helpful please feel free to ask, i am thankful for any help or try to do so.

I am not sitting here just waiting for others to solve my problems - i realy searched now many many hours for a solution and tried everything i could imagine. I realy need help from someone who is technically more into this than i am.

BIG THANKS for any help!!!

After i figured out that this issue is impossible to solve (for me) i contacted ED-Support Team which tried to help me kindly!

Their advice to bypass steam completely and install the nonsteam-Version of the game brought a solution and the game now runs flawless in openXR.
So if anyone else is facing such issues like described above: Try the non-Steam Version and move your licenses over from steam and leave your worries behind

Thanks ED for support!

I leave my Steamversion installed for now - maybe someone has another idea what could have caused the problem and i will then try to see if it get fixed - this could also help others with the same problem.
