Crash Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 So I decided to give DCS in VR a try to see if it ran OK. It didnt. As as I am not enjoying GBS in flat screen mode I need to do something about it. I dont have a restore point on my C drive so my options are limited. option 1 format C and reinstall Windoze and all my other stuff. Costs only time. option 2 go back to Intel and get a new MB. Reinstall everything. Costs some money BUT I am not that impressed with AMD bios and the overlocking arrangements. So IF I have to do a new install of Windows I might as well go back to Intel Any thoughts? Current CPU Ryzen 5900X and an MSI carbon MB.

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted February 15 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 15 Difficult to tell. One thing I do know for sure, is that if your c'puter has stability issues then first stop over clocking. Overclocking sounds nice and smart and bad ass 'n' all - but if it aint stable, it is just bad without the ass ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted February 15 Author Report Share Posted February 15 It runs fine on flatscreen and doing photo editing. from what I have read VR NEEDs 5GHz and it used to run fine. If I reinstall Win10 and then change the MB to Intel if it has the same chipset as present would I still need to do a complete windows install?

Never tried that. 'used to run fine': Sure, I know, my Asus board and water cooled i7 did that on 'Fast' overclock setting. Until it no longer did! Now if you try and do not overclock, and see what gives. What if it's stable and fast enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Posted February 16 Author Report Share Posted February 16 I have now got the Win10 media creation tool on a USB stick and will have another go with VR with the Zen oc software off. If that doesnt help then format and new Win 10 will have to be the way. If that dont work then its a new MB and back to Intel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Posted February 16 Author Report Share Posted February 16 Just had a very quick fly with the Zenmaster OC off and it seems to be OK in GBS and DCS. Will do more testing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted February 21 Author Report Share Posted February 21 That didnt solve it, however following a suggestion on th Il-2 forum I used display driver uninstaller and have just had a 20 minute flight on WW server I got 80-90 FPS constant so it looks hopeful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta7 Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Crash have you monitored the temps on your graphics card? Do you overclock this? Can you borrow a different card and try this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted February 26 Author Report Share Posted February 26 Just ran 3Dmark Timespy and Port Royal and temps are fine on both GPU and CPU. When I quit the game last night and took the headset off the monitor showed the Il-2 hanger screen with a Windows message Il-2 not responding. I dont know anyone with a 3090 or 4090 but as 3Dmark ran fine its not a hardware issue. I am now looking for a VR test/benchmark app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted February 28 Author Report Share Posted February 28 Another stuttering mess last night, so I went flatscreen. Today I used JSME to move all the mods out and left mods on in the Il-2 GUI. Joined the DD server and got a solid 85FPS, no stutters. Looks like a corrupt mod so I will find out more later today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, how many mods do you use? I still only have the dd-icon thing and the back ground mute one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted February 28 Author Report Share Posted February 28 I enabled the sound mute one and also started TS. Stutter city. I found that disableling logs on TS fixed the stutters. DCS also has issues which could be just settings. I might go on TS tomorrow evening and fire up Il-2 and TS and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted February 29 Author Report Share Posted February 29 Due to issues with the PC not seeing the headset, I have gone down the Quest 3 route. I did get a working G2 out of my 2 headsets and cables but I dont trust it. I have potentially sold it to CEX to ease the finance. Also ordered a cable and both should be here on Saturday. Does the Quest use Windows MR? If it doesnt I will uninstall it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted March 4 Author Report Share Posted March 4 Not having a good time. Cex found a scratch and wont buy the old headset. Had issues setting the Quest up and then it died, so I have ordered the replacement, due Wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted March 9 Author Report Share Posted March 9 Do I need to remove OpenXR tools for WindowsMR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove anything\everything to do with WMR, Quest doesn't use it. Can't be any help beyond that, I went from a G2 to a Varjo Aero, will say DCS runs much better in OpenXR (the "MT" exe) than OpenVR.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
