MiG-29A started crashing only in VR

[Redacuragsr]

I downloaded my Mig-29A module and was able to play it for half a day, then I turned DCS off, and then when I restarted DCS and tried to load any mission that has the MiG-29A module in it, it would then take forever to load and then crash every time.  This only happens in VR and only with the MiG-29A module for some reason. Everything else works fine. I have attached my crash logs in hopes that someone can help

Same problem for me too. Running the Pimax Crystal Super.

Game crashes just before I try to click the fly button.

Game crash or black screen? I had serious black screen problems, but deleting the Mission Editor folder in Saved Games and running a repair fixed that.

It might be worth a try.

Did you backup your logbook first?
People might be pissed if they just randomly delete it.

I did not. It crossed my mind, but I looked for the file and my foggy head couldn’t find it. Then I realised I don’t mind it gets reset so I just deleted the folder anyway.

I had black screen too, the plane loaded partially first, then black screen and crashed.  I did a repair, reinstalled all my Pimax stuff but it’s still doing it.  I’ll try deleting the mission editor folder and try it again.  Thanks for the idea.

If you want to keep your flight records. RENAME the folder.

Disabling secondary shadows fixed it, thank you!

Good idea, but renaming the folder didn’t fix anything for me, however when I turned off secondary shadows everything went back to normal

Hi! I had the same issue on Pimax Crystal OG. Can confirm, turning off the Secondary Shadows fixed it.

Myself and friend had the same issue.  Both using Pimax Supers.  Turning off Secondary Shadows fixed it as well.

Same problem. Pimax Crystal. And turning off secondary shadows helped as well.

Looks like it's VR specific. Crash log is the same every time

No problem for me so far (but Quest), turn off all mods and check it again. From what I see it applies more to Pimax owners, so maybe there is some software problem with the update from Pimax?
