UPDATE: Same MP server in pancake runs like a charm.

 

Also tried SteamVR beta, and all the other stuff (repair all apps, clear shaders, cleared mods, etc).

[Dunx]

UPDATE: Issue possibly identified - inadequate pagefile size, initial tests positive, more tests this evening

thanks for letting us know

[Dunx]

UPDATE: Resolved

 

This was due to disabling Windows pagefile management, and selecting "no paging file".

 

I cannot remember the date of this change but DCS Beta ran fine until the day of the update (both DCS Beta and SteamVR Beta were queued for update at the same time). Reverting to SteamVR Release did not resolve the issue and so, combined with the dual update, induced the confusion. Finally resolved by allowing Windows to manage pagefile automatically.

 

For my machine, SteamVR / SteamVR Beta requires a pagefile for DCS / DCS Beta.

 

Not all reddit advice is good advice ;)

I have my pagefile system managed and leave it.

 

With 16gb or less I would manually set it high, but for 32gb leaving it system managed should be fine.
