Anyone able to get the multiplayer client working with the DK2?

 

works fine for me singleplayer, but crashes before it even gets to the login screen on multiplayer...

What type of crash? do you have any logs or debug/crash reports to submit, Im pretty sure devs would be interested in seeing them if they are generated.

Can't get it to work at all. Extended, OVRService and wscript ended, direct, when I get the oculus as the main display I run it, instant action and get a black screen. I'm an AMD user. Any advice?

[J-1775]

Hi guys I just got my DK2 today and I cant seem to make it work. I downloaded the runtime and SDk and the demoes work, but when I start dcs and enter a mission it acts like the rift isnt there. I have the auto detect on. How do I fix this? I have one HDMI and 2 DVI ports on my GPU. I have the hdmi plugged into the montiro and and rift through an adapter into the gpu dvi port.

So you have OR detection checked and I also assume you run in extended mode? Did you close the OR service? You can easily do it with Bilago's small managing tool - search for a download link or you'll find one in this Reddit thread:

Try it ─ you miss a lot. Yesterday I started the Dora landing mission, but after aborting the final approach the Oculus kept me in the night sky for a full hour, because it was so absolutely marvelous! Flying low over the beaches into the sea, I slowed down, opened the canopy and took a deep breath. Only then, missing the salt in the air, I suddenly realized it's just a sim... Another thing not to miss: the P-51 RR's sparkling in the dawn. The new head tracking is so much better than TrackIR!

Its a CTD, it doesn't even load the GUI, i see the splash screen, then it blinks a couple times and a get the standard windows close program thingy that happens when any program, not just dcs CTDs... i have error logs, but where would i put it? not able to just cut and paste cause it's all coded, not just plain text.

Same here (since 1.2.9). Issue is 100% reproducibile.

Configuration is the same shown in my signature except for the monitor configuration that is: main display (1080p@75Hz) + DK2 + 2xMFCD (disabled).

I can provide the dump file if needed.

[Revelation]

Got my DK2 today....

 

Well I will say that flying the Sabre is pretty impressive with the DK2. I agree with most here that the resolution still needs to be improved, but man it was crazy... The cockpit is just amazing, I could sit there and look at it all day long. It's crazy how you want to reach out and grab all of the levers and push the buttons.

 

I will say that my neck started hurting; I'm used to just turning my head ever so slightly with TrackIR and now you have to really turn your head and upper body. Something I have to get used to I guess.

 

Once the resolution is up to par this is definitely going to be a must buy for all.

[USARStarkey]

so when I run DCS is doesnt seem to be reconizing the rift. In non-extended mode nothing happens at all. In extended mode, the head-tracking isnt working and the screen is too high. Auto detect is on. The config on is and it sees the rift and the camera. The demos and tests scenarios work. Cant figure out what the deal is ive already tried every usb port.

open up your task manager, shut down wscript.exe, OculusConfigUtil.exe, and OVRService_x64.exe, set your DK2 as primary monitor, take off your DK2s lenses so you can read the screen for all the 2D parts of DCS and then DCS works.

[Tongp]

LOL, I don't know. Haven't had that situation arise much as I don't even drink very often.

 

I'm not sure if i'm stating the absolutely obvious here, but he is not talking about alcohol. there have been reports that other substances assist the queasiness. I have not heard of many instances of sickness with the DK2, the low persistence certainly helps. The only time ive felt slightly queasy was at the top of a roller coaster, and im sure that would make me feel queasy anyway.

 

Anyway, I am one of those unforuntates with a DK2 and an AMD card. So looks like I wont be playing DCS with the DK2 until Edge.

[hannibal]

can some one make a DK2 video while the are playing Ka50 Black Shark II?

i mean that DCS module does offer a 'Pilot Body"..

would be great to see the interaction of the rift while seeing the virtual along side the user with the rift on... moving the joystick while the in game arm/hand moves..

or switch your desktop to secondary/clone mode so you don't have to mess with lenses.

only if you have a 75hz+ monitor.... and then i hear with displays cloned theres framerate loss...

Ya - I have had crohns for a long time (though not as severe as most since surgery as a teen and with long bouts of remission - long enough that I got into and through 4 years in the USMC without issue) - anyway I did get sick a couple times during my first go at college and one of my professors insinuated the same after I ran out of her class to go puke. To be sure when the MM question came up on the ballot in MA with crohns listed right in the question I of course voted a big fat yes, though I have not had need of it up to this point. Bonine/Dramanine would probably be both cheaper and easier though it was (mostly) a joke and I don't expect Id actually need anything.

[Mnemonic]

Got my DK2, didn't tried DCS yet, but noticed that when I run my screens at 144 Hz (their native mode) then low-persistance mode on DK2 doesn't work, I need to lower screens down to 60.

Will play around more with the settings.

[hannibal]

new maxflight video..

[TAnker737]

All I can do is watch youtube videos with my DK2 of people playing dcs.

Looks amazing, please fix this amd problem.

[SkateZilla]

Individual Displays should operate their own independent Refresh Rate in Windows. That's Odd.

not when you clone displays, only when you have them running in extended mode, if you clone them, meaning showing exactly the same image on both displays, they both end up running at the same resolution and refresh rate(the same image)... well i mean... getting 75fps (on average) in DCS with the DK2 is impossible even with the 780ti (yes i know in some situations it does go up past 75 fps, but not as often as not) so i guess it doesn't matter, but still

I got motion sickness with TrackIR, at first. Your brain has to re-learn what its perceiving. It expects to feel motion when it sees motion. Its uncomfortable, but you will get over it.

Wondering - Can you use Homecockpit with Occulus ? I mean - is they a way to see "below" the thing so you can find your (real) buttons ?

no, not realy, but if you have a hotas or a flightstick with many buttons, you just can use multiplicator buttons (which you find even blind very easy) to have all function's on your hotas

[frank7006]

Any word on when we're going to get official DK2 support? I was using the unofficial work-around but now the image will only display on my monitor even though I've been doing everything the same way I was doing it before when it worked on my DK2.

[SkyJousler]

can't wait!

 

Just wish I was in my 20s and DCS was where it is today.

Well...

 

Using a HOTAS, I very rarely had to press a key. When I did, I was able to easily look through the vents to find the needed key.
