whitav8 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 As far as repair and reinstall, I have done that a few times already! I test after the repair and it all compiles fine and runs well. Then I install the kegetys mod version 2.5.3.21107 exactly as the readme discusses (I have successfully installed this mod many times over the last three or four months and seen much better FPS performance for VR). Only this time with 2.5.3.23954 have I experienced this compile / crash problem. I really wonder if this version of the mod that I am getting from the first page of this thread is correct. Anyway, my current approach is to uninstall DCS World and reinstall everything from scratch, install the fast mod, and retest. If that still fails, then it must be my hardware (older i7 - 980X and DK2) or some dependency on the Windows 1803 build. Thanks for any ideas to try. Dave W.

whitav8 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 OK - I found the problem! I only have 12gb of memory and had just reloaded Windows 10 build 1803. But I didn't setup a big enough pagefile so I was running out of memory when I got to 8gb. I don't know how that all works but anyway, once I set the pagefile to 12gb, everything worked fine.

sea2sky Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) I have a strange issue: if I turn MSAA on (x2 or x4) - the DCS will hang forever while loading. Otherwise the mod works for me.

Shrike_AU Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Quick public service announcement, when running this mod for the first time on a map, try this to keep track of whats going on and see that it hasnt hung. 1. open a powershell window 2. paste: Get-Content "C:\Users\<YOUR ACCOUNT NAME>\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log" -wait -tail 30 (substitute in your account name and amend the DCS folder as well if you have to) This will give you an updating view of the game log file and you see the metashaders being recompiled.

lastresort77 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Oculus Rift still has visible rings at masksize 0.600f. How greatly does increasing the masksize affect performance? I might try 0.700f and see if it improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try 0.700f and see if it improves. Does it? I use 0.600f and don't notice them (in the HMD). I do see them on the monitor. I'll check again later. The performance question is interesting, I'll also check on that. -- EDIT - after checking: At 0.6f I am sure I can see no rings in the HMD. I tried 0.2, 0.6, and 0.98 - I measured no difference in fps (very basic testing - A10C sitting on runway in one of the default free flight missions). Begs the questions, what does the setting actually do, and is it necessary to keep it as low as possible? I think it's been asked before, but I can't face trawling through 60 pages of posts - is there any way to apply only the MSAA part of this mod?

obious Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I've uninstalled the mod to get the latest updates and after launching DCS on all terrains I have, there's no 'dcs' folder in any of the C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\terrains\*TERRAIN*\misc\metacache folders. The weird thing is that I'm able to launch into the cockpit though. Have I uninstalled the mod correctly? I just deleted the ~dcs folder during the removal..

obious Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Per instructions you should changed them to dcs.old, then you can rename them back when deactivating the mod. You might try doing a "dcs_updater repair". Yea, weirdly enough after a couple of restart I attempted to just restore from the recycle bin but just appeared. I'll rename them to *.old when I re-enable the mod Intel 12900k @ 5.2Ghz, RTX 4090, Samsung 1TB NVME, Thrustmaster Warthog & F-18 stick, Pendular Rudder Pedals - Quest Pro AV8B N/A UFC Build Log AV8B N/A PCBs for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't do anything with them - just remain as DCS - then it makes no difference to how the mod performs.
