DCS won't launch in 2D

[Sandman1330]

Since the latest update, I cannot launch DCS in 2D. It forces VR mode every time.

I usually play on a Quest 3 via Virtual Desktop, but occasionally for mission editing I'll launch in 2D. I used to do this via the Skatezilla tool, but now I try and use the launcher. However, ever since the update, neither the skatezilla tool nor the launcher will put me in 2D when I try. It goes VR every time. Also strangely, it goes into a loop, where once I exit after it incorrectly launches VR mode, it goes right back into launching in VR mode again, I have to force kill the DCS process in task manager to stop it from attempting to start again and again and again - every time in VR.

I have even tried disabling VR in the DCS settings - it still turns it back on and forces me back into VR.

Log attached. While it says the command used was force_enable_vr, I definitely selected flat screen in the DCS launcher.dcs.log.old

Had the same issue. Try to disable the launcher and for your 2D shortcut add: force_disableVR
Worked for me.

The meta issue was fixed however there is another issue with meta PTC update and openXR toolkit. The latest test version of meta does not like openXR toolkit and it should be disabled. 

If it is not that please attach your DCS log so we can look for clues. 

thank you

Thank you, Bignewy.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. I'm using the same MT direct access (with "DCS.exe" --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR)

I think if you guys still use extensions like —force_enableVR, that causes conflicts with the launcher. Try removing the extensions and then select via the launcher how you want to launch the game.

Also the —force_openxr extension is not neccessary, since DCS MT launches with OpenXR as default.

Thank you.  After removing the extension, the launcher appears to function correctly in my DCS.
