VR Failure (driver update??)

Post by cthaeler » Wed Mar 27, 2024 2:17 am

I've been running Condor in VR (HP Reverb G2, Revive 3.2.0) for quite a while. I just grabbed the new NVidia app (Steam VR seems to have also updated). I now ONLY get the text overlay information in the headset. Condor is generating the view (mirror on) but it's not getting to the headset. I've done all the typical items (reboot, cold boot, etc.) without luck. MSFS is still working so it isn't the hardware.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Just turned off MSAA and it's working again. I'll continue to poke around and if I can find a solution I'll post it.

Take away, "wait for someone else before you upgrade" :D

Hello,

which Revive version do you use? Version 3.2.0 should be fine with MSAA turned on.

I'm glad it works now. :)

I'm using 3.2.0. I suspect there's a video driver incompatibility. Once I got it working another glitch showed up. Shortly after the text overlay (task start time etc) goes away I get a hang in the video system. The simulation engine continues to run because I can fly blind for awhile. When I crash and the crash animation runs the video gets unstuck so I can watch the crash.

As a work around if I bring up the classifications overlay I can fly all day. As a (now retired) software developer this smells like a bad pointer somewhere.

It's working now so I'm not going to play with drivers any further and hope is keeps working. We'll see what happens when 3.0 comes out.

Hello
I have mentionned the same problem in this post.
https://www.condorsoaring.com/forums/vi ... 44#p184077
I fly without problem on line as the "on line" symbol is on and for flying offline I have managed to have the "cockpit view" repeated continuously and allways written in blue in the cockpit.
