Back from vay-K, any luck yet?

 

Hello, I hope your vacation were good. I think I fixed the problem, but I found another issue with the A10C instrument reflection feature I want to fix (and improve). I’ll release a new version when I’ll sort it out.

I'm still struggling to fix the issue with instrument relfexion, I do not understand why a specific shader is no more binded when replaced...
In the meantime, if some can check if the haze fix is ok in this version : https://www.mediafire.com/file/5rfwz7d15uipq3j/reshade_DCS_VREM.addon64/file ...

Haze in 9.4c works great!

2025/06/30 for DCS version 2.9.17.11733  => version 9.4

• bug fix for Haze control + new way to handle instrumentation reflexion for A10C, AH64, F4E and maybe more.

I finally sorted out the issue on reflection, even if there are still things I do not understand...But I found a workaround. The GUI changed slightly, you can now reduce or increase a factor for instument reflection on A10C (They are ugly, like stencils), but also on AH64 and F4E (I found them a bit overdone). Maybe the fix is working for  other planes, I did not have time to test...

I added a demo video on first post.

how exactly to fix errors in red? 

i can not find button "initialize preprocessor variable"

LE: nevermind, i found this <<

In order to get rid of the red technique :

• go into cockpit in 2D
• set the option "Activate reshade Techniques in VR" into "Reshade Techniques in VR displays"
• activate any tehcnique that is not red in the list you shared above => it should launch recompliation and fix all techniques in red
• unset the option "Activate reshade Techniques in VR" into "Reshade Techniques in VR displays"

>>

But now i have other problem. Game don't load in main menu in VR mode. Freze after 100% loading. Using Virtual desktop Quest 3. V9.4  and reshade 6.5.1

It is related to thick box Activate reshade Techniques. If it's on can not load. Need to go back to 2D load, untick box.

Hello, how many installed technique do you have ? Could you put the reshade.log (generated with game in 2d with technique on) ?

For the red message, I know I need to improve the first launch of the mod...

i think even with none selected do the same if box is ticked for Activate reshade Techniques

btw , with v 8.1 load in to the menu, but there is no effect for reshade Techniques

Edited June 30 by muzica9

I  press "intialize prerocessor variables" it says restart game i do that and nothing really changes. Errors still there

Edit: Works now after switching back to default ini

thanks, you just have the minimum technique, so the mod should work. I tested technique again and it worked on my PC in VR.

At which stemp is your game hanging ? Do you have a reshade message ?

sorry but i don't understand this part. i have no message. if launch in vr, before loading to main menu, when the blue loading progress bar reach 100% game freeze and become non responsive.

Ok so you were able to go through the "welcome screen" (this is were Reshade is compiling technique and may create hang)  and then you have the issue.
Could you

• launch the game,  set "Debug messages in log / enable display mask" in "debug option" and save option quit game
• replace the reshade DCS VREM.addon64 by the one joined here
• launch the game again, kill it once hanged
• post here the reshade.log (it should be big) as the DCS_VREM.ini ?

I tested with "from scratch" *.ini files and do not have issue...

@lefuneste01 - as I only use Haze reduction, any benefit to my getting the latest version vs. leaving my 9.4c version as-is?

yes, just wait until DCS would break the mod for your usage, no need to change before.

It does not help me too much, unfortunately..I do not see errors or strange things. Do you have DCS mods installed or other reshade add on selected ?

Could you try test with "instant action / Su25T / Free flight" ? 

Could you please provide your option.lua and  DCS_VREM.ini ?

It took me more time than expected, because I had to restore my PC to an old backup due to an issue with my Varjo no more beeing detected. Then I updated DCS with the last update.

I used your settings for both DCS and VREM, and was able to go to cockpit with or wihout technique in VR...And technique were working in VR also. So I do not know what to do next...

Maybe you can try a full repair of DCS?

i did, same thing. first time, first activation is working. i can see the technique applied. but if restart game, stuck and freeze at loading screen bar.

[lefuneste01]

What I did : launch game in VR, "activate Technique in VR", restart game, test a technique in VR. => OK.

[muzica9]

something is very strange. with latest version 9.4.1 it is not loading if i have haze reduction on. and vr tech off. 9.4 was working just with haze.

i have reverted back all the way to 8.4.

nobody else is using with quest 3 with link cable or VD?

That’s annoying. It seems I introduced a regression if 8.1 is working for your config. My problem is I can not reproduce the issue..  Which features do you want to use ? Can you try also the ”disable optimization” in debug section ?

Question on the Quadviews setting - I'm running Quadviews with OG Crystal, not sure what I should be using for the 'target area' setting 

Also, I'm confused about the 'refresh techniques' - I just set the addon values, I don't touch any of the stuff on 'home' page 

When I try to start a mission with at selected it appears to crash DCS

Hello, it seems there is an issue for some, other reported also these crash I can not reproduce...

I understood you selected only "technique in VR" option and have crash when launching mission.

Can you 

• Ensure no options are selected, relaunch game and launch mission check if no crash
• select other option than technique in VR and check if game is crashing
• select tehcnique and VR  and check if game is crashing
