recent meta link software update (NON PTC) and DCS is constantly crashing when startup

[hannibal]

meta automatically updated meta link software to version

i am not subscribed to Public Test Channel

Meta Quest Link App Version 68.0.0.433.361 (68.0.0.433.361)

disabling OpenXR toolkit does not help, also uninstalled openXR toolkit and rebooted PC, and still not success.

I can not start up DCS in VR (desktop mode works ok)

DCS is kaput for me with meta quest link

Same Problem here. Using the Meta Quest 3 via cable, cannot start DCS anymore, it always crashes.

If you are using OpenXR Toolkit, Quad View Foveated Rendering, HTCC, or any third-party OpenXR layer tool, disable them. They're not compatible with Meta Link v68 anymore due to Meta's changes. If you want to keep using those tools, switch to the Virtual Desktop app, which uses its own VDxR link instead of Meta Link.

Thank you very much mate, that was the issue for me.

Only API layers that depend on querying what extensions are available are broken. HTCC specifically has a workaround in the latest version and works fine.

Some are broken, some are not. If things are broken, turn them all off, then *try turning them all on one at a time* - they're not all vulnerable to the bug, some are.

Yeah I was generalising somewhat.
