solved Windows Defender, BitDefender, VR, and crashes

[Richrach]

Sometimes the new problem is just an old problem repackaged.

Switched from another anti-virus vendor to BitDefender.  No problems until trying to play DCS with my Pimax 8KX in VR.  Nope.  Nope.  More nope.

Starting through the troubleshooting list provided by Flappie,

(a most excellent resource by the way) I discovered that in changing over from one anti-virus to the next it turned on parts of my Windows Defender.  That wrecked everything with lower FPS and random crashes.

 

Windows everything off.  Problem solved.

 

Sometimes the new is really the old.  Hopefully this saves someone out there some aggravation.

Just use Windows Defender. Exclude relevant folders to avoid false positives and recuperate some performance. My DCS load time went from 4 minutes to less than 2. And for some reason it's now under 1. I'm happy!

Max,

Copy.  Windows Defender is inferior for my security needs.  BitDefender is only part of a my protective suite.

 

My startup time for DCS VR is 48s for what it is worth.
