sirrah Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Is it extremely hot at your location just like rest of Europe? Maybe this is just caused by PC overheating? It is indeed. However, it would surprise me if SteamVR would crash because of this. Only SteamVR crashes, not my entire pc. Then again, maybe someone with more knowledge of these kind of things could jump in and correct me 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...
Maggot Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Exact same thing happened to me a few days ago. Has never happened before. I can’t offer any help as to the cause, but at least you’re not alone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglecash867 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Your Steam installation may just be corrupted. I had that problem with mine several weeks ago, where SteamVR would randomly crash, lockup, or not want to shut down. While that was going on, any time I was playing a VR game and wanted to stop playing that one and start playing another, I couldn't ever get the new game to start in VR. I would actually have to restart my PC each time I wanted to switch the game I was playing. Tried everything I could think of, and nothing fixed it. Then I decided to uninstall the whole Steam application and start over with that. Just had to tell the new installation where to find my library, and I was back in business with no more issues. It was actually fairly painless to do that.

Werewolf_fs Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I had problems with SteamVR stability when customizing steam options for dcs and using reprojection from steamVR and not from default.vrsettings. So disable it in Steam and enable it in the default.vrsettings file improved stability with my Reverb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrgentSiesta Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 having similar problems here, too. Steam VR Beta had been automagically disabled, presumably by the update. Re-enabling didn't fix. Going to go for the Steam re-install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oz555 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I have been getting fairly regular Steam VR crashes for around a month.

Taz1004 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 1.14.6? Why am I on 1.13.10? Mine tells me it needs to be reset because it can't find my headset, and it also tells my my base stations are not recognized ever since I put them on standby mode to save power... but I can ignore all those warnings and they just work as soon as I put on the headset. Never actually crashed. Better Smoke - Better Trees Caucasus - Better Trees Syria - Better Trees Mariana - Clear Canopy Glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirrah Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 I tried to play DCS with Stream turned off (Oculus Rift CV1 and PC not fully upgraded for VR) and it works just fine. That's because you use Oculus software and don't need SteamVR.

epolta Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 man.. I can't make it through Raven Mission 2 without crashing. Getting weird artifacting and judders throughout, even with smooth 45 fps through entire mission. Keeps crashing after heading back to ship.. Have shot the case 3 like 3 times and crashes either after checking in with Marshall or landing on deck, crashes before I can exit and save... Very aggravating.

Thorgs Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Happens to me too with the newest DCS Update. Tested with the SteamVR Stable and Beta on the Valve Index. On Syria SteamVR randomly crashes and once yesterday on Caucasus it happened while closing the mission and returning to the main menu. While on Syria I had the Taks-Manager running in the background and checked the RAM usage after the crash and in the on case I looked at it the RAM usage was 32GB of 32GB before crashing. Maybe some kind of Memory Leak???? Or just bad luck with this Version of the Syria Map (Beta). Every other VR Game runs fine.

epolta Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I reinstalled Steam VR (non beta) and WMR for steam (Beta) and made it through Raven One mission 2 finally without a system crash. Need to do more testing, but fingers crossed. I did still notice weird flashing artifacts - especially while on deck of supercarrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildblu Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Yep, HP REVERB, ever since the last steam vr update. I get about 5 minutes into DCS and then crash. It also takes out my discord, which is weird. Reinstalled Steam, SteamVR, and Windows mixed reality. Reloaded windows, no fix. Going back to all default settings and working my way up.
