Quest 3 -- "Error initializing Direct3D"

[OldBaldy]

I've been using the Quest Rift and then the Quest 2 via Virtual Desktop in Condor 2 for more than two years now.
Just received the Quest 3, updated my graphics card drivers, started the updated Virtual Desktop, and then Condor 2-->Free Flight--> Start.
RESULT is the "Error intitializing Direct3D" dialog box.
HELP!

You will need Revive for VD to work with Condor I think.

Install revive or run it natively without VD.

Hi, have a Quest3 too. The Error about Direct3D appears normally when you start Condor without Oculus Software.
My Setup wellworking is:
Open Oculus-Software on PC, start Condor and setup flight till "join", then start Quest3 , start airlink in quest3, when connected go to Desktop and press "join" with Quest3 on PC-Desktop, after some 20 secs i am in the game...
works by my mates same way

Revive is not needed for the Quest 3.

As Bernie says, it is important to have the link (either airlink of with the cable) working before you hit start flight. You can also control condor via the controlers in the virtual desktop. If you can see Condor in the virtual desktop the joining will work without the error.

I am using an Oculus 2 and an NVidia 2070 graphics card, running on a GE66 laptop.

I was getting the same error. I noticed that the PC was not selecting the Nvidia graphics card. In Windows 11, go to Settings->Display->Graphics. Select Condor.exe and Options. Select the high performance adapter. If Condor is not listed, you can add an app in the upper portion of this screen.

Were you able to get this working? I'm getting the same error - "Error initializing Direct3D...." - when trying to use the Quest 3. I did try the specific association of condor.exe with "high performance adapter" (Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080) to no avail. Quest link shows "green".

Are you running the Oculus PC software first and establish that your Airlink or cable connection is working properly ie you can run other PC VR games/apps OK .

So you should check in your headset that you see the Oculus PC home environment running , then launch Condor as normal from your desktop ." The task you have setup will launch in the headset after you get the fullscreen picture on your PC screen as the scenery is loading

Make sure you have the "SETUP VR" button displaying [ON} in settings /graphics window from Condor menus too ( IMPORTANT ) . The world scale slider you can adjust to taste within Condor VR settings _ it will change the apparent scale of the cockpit. Some gliders for some reason seem too small inside and others look way too big . I wish this setting could be saved for individual gliders .

Hope this helps .

Do you know of a way to use Virtial Desktop for this instead of Airlink?
