Oculus Rift has been freezing since the last update of META. DLSS is out of function for DCS

[TOMCATZ]

Hello Team,

Since the latest update of META, my Oculus Rift is not working in DCS anymore. DLSS or DLAA creates a stutterfest. 

Even setting everything to low and disengaging of all filters and sharpening processes, lowering the frame rate to 60 and so on - DCS is not playable in VR anymore. 

I´m pretty sure that the latest META-update created a lot of troubles (that was the only thing that changed the last weeks) . The latency is very high and the picture in game is freezing after some minutes - comes with whites flashes shortly before. 

WIN-10 , 64GB RAM, NVidea3080 10GB RAM - Latest Nvidea driver, Latest Oculus driver (META), latest version of DCS. I checked the graphic card - the temperature is never higher then 60°. 

I running out of any ideas because I lowered everything to the lowest possible setting. Hardware is okay and running well. 

Help would be more then welcome,

Thanks,

Cheers,

TOM

Pure speculation, but Meta may have made updates that aren’t compatible with Win10 due to it being past EOL now

I’m running windows 10 still and don’t seem to have this issue with the latest Meta update. I have my FPS locked at 60 an

and that’s what I get. However I do see much more pauses in DCS as with everyone else since the last update. 
 

hope you get it fixed.

Still on version Meta 66.0.0.308.370 (on Win 11 Pro 25H2) here but since that latest DCS updates I notice also more irregular hick-ups using my Rift-S while playing, especially more in multiplayer.  
3080Ti with driver 576.28.   No DLSS or DLAA here, I prefer the shimmering over the ghosting.

Hello,

Well - I made a huge work around the last weeks. So what I can clearly say is: That DLAA and DLSS is not working anymore. 

So what I did (and works more or less) is following:

I set the pixel density up to 2.0 and engaged NIS (Nvidia Image Scaling) in the DCS menue. 

I modified the option.lua in the config folder by hand because the DCS menue will not provide following setting:

Nvidia Image Scaling  ON

Pixel density: 2.0

Quality: 1.5

Sharpening: 4

Frame Rate: 60 FPS locked

The rest in the menue:

Textures: medium

Visibility: medium

Shadows: medium

Works pretty and acceptable. Sometimes I have a stutter but I think it`s because of loading textures. Only thing that is not well are close other fighters in dogfight ... the image scling prozess blures the enemy aways and you see mostly a slight shadow, if you are lucky. Close formation flight with others is okay. 

 

About DLSS: Works fine as long as there are no clouds or fog. But if there is a cloud on the horizon , ghosting and stutterfest - It seems to be that something is really messed up with DLSS in combination with META and RIFT S. 

Cheers
