sirrah Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Is there a way to play DCS with the Oculus Rift without having to start the Oculus Dashboard? Right now it starts automatically when I launch DCS. I noticed that OculusDash.exe uses 500+mb (sometimes up to 700mb) of my precious memory :( Having "only" 16GB, I recently found out that DCS eats about every bit of RAM available. I'm running the stand alone OB version (if that matters) System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dburne Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 No, but surely you notice the Oculus Dashboard along with the Oculus Home graphics fade out to gray when a game is launched?

Now that you mention it, I did see that yes.

SGT Coyle Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I was looking the other day. Virtually none. See what I did there.:smilewink: I took a look with lasso. I setup OD to open when I start Oculus Tray Tool, and close when OTT is closed. OTT stops the Oculus Service that's needed for Dash to run. Otherwise Dash runs as long as the HMD is pluged in.

etherbattx Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 agreed. if you look at your task manager, it barely uses any resources. you shouldn’t need to turn Home off anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitness88 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 No, but surely you notice the Oculus Dashboard along with the Oculus Home graphics fade out to gray when a game is launched? I don't get any fade out from OD or OH when I launch DCS, does it happen by default? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
