Oasis Driver now in Steam Store for windows mixed reality

[Baldrick33]

I recently tried a Quest 3 as a potential replacement for the trusty G2. Although the cockpit was clearer I found the overall image quality outside worse plus I couldn’t get the same level of smoothness be it wired or with virtual desktop even with a dedicated wired access point after several weeks of tweaking. So I have returned to the G2.

VR can be subjective, I know others opinions will differ but I am very happy the Oasis driver extends the life of my preferred headset.

All working fine here with the Oasis driver and I have successfully upgraded to 24H2 without issues so it also feels good to be on the latest Windows. 

Again maybe against the flow I have always found using SteamVR as the OpenXR runtime smoother, so using SteamVR for the Oasis driver is a benefit for me .

Performance is better than before for me.  Great job.

Well, I had it working this morning before I left for work but turning it on now, I get a message that SteamVR failed. Specifically, "Oh no! SteamVR has encountered an unexpected problem."

Anyone have any suggestions?

Update: It did eventually start, and I successfully flew on a server. However, after closing DCS and SteamVR, I am now getting a SteamVR error regarding my GPU have trouble communicating with the HMD. I had this during setup, but a fresh install of Steam seemed to fix it. I tried all the available Displayports with no change.

Well my experience has been great. I am having better Frametimes in DCS compared to what it was before.. The apache I flew 2 MP Missions and they both were flawless no issues at all..

 

For what I paid for it I am not going to complain at all. Mbucchia is a legend in my mind..

FYI completely uninstalling then reinstalling all Steam software and the Oasis driver got everything working again. I just had a great time in the Contention Cold War server with no issues.

Thanks again @mbucchia
