IS VR BROKEN?!

[Wingnutt]

looking left..

notice how the clipboard is now way off to the left and I am no longer in the center of the tower.

instead of remaining in place and looking left, EVERYTHING shifts to the left.

AH is not functioning with 6DOF that is for sure, closed AH and launched DCS, 6 DOF is fine, closed DCS launched AH problem persists.

When you reinstalled AH did you keep the settings folder?

Did you try renaming it to make a new one?

You've likely had Win10 updates. Try reinstalling the latest video driver.

You might also reinstall Oculus.

 I deleted the HTC directory after uninstall.

Video card drivers are up to date.

Reinstalled Oculus

Spun around in chair

Pet (Both) dogs

Placed a collect call to Sweden

Fished in the bathtub

Fought a Pygmy Shaman

Bought synthetic weed from a wayward carnie

Did the macarena

held breath for 3 minutes

learned mandarin



No luck.

the menus, tower, cockpit, all move with my head as I turn it instead of staying in place.  the world outside does not, its working fine.


EDIT: where else might there be info relevant to this stored besides the regular game directory?

the ONLY other potential thing I think it could be is last time I played (before uninstalling a while back)  I was playing with a Samsung Odyssey +  which has a different tracking system.  Im wondering if that config is still on here somewhere and causing this.  Its a long shot but its all I can think of at this point.


EDIT2

Uninstalled game again and reinsalled to a different directory than default.

No Change.

Take a look in your Device Manager. In the View menu, choose Show hidden devices. If you find the Odyssey anywhere, remove it.

In Windows 7 you'll have to do the following to see non-present devices, in later versions apparently not (guess it doesn't hurt doing, though):  https://www.thewindowsclub.com/show-non-present-devices-windows

Great tip!


There was some latent stuff in the device manager under "mixed reality" or something to that effect, I removed that, rebooted and checked again to make sure it didnt return.


Sadly still no fix,  the tower/aircraft/clipboard is still attached to my head.

Its so wierd, the outside world DOES NOT DO THIS it responds to 6DOF as expected, but the building itself is as though its snapped to my head and moves with it.

UPDATE:

I opted in to the Oculus beta feature and as expected it pushed a software and driver update, so that went through no issues.


No change in the game, but I did notice something else and  I dont know if this has anything to do with anything or if its just a bug.

That annoying BOOOOOOMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  "welcome to aces high"  thing with the slide out window etc etc..  every time I run the game I check the boxes to never run that intro again and yet every time I start the game the boxes are unchecked and it runs away so those settings are not being saved.

Probably nothing but this is a fishing expedition at this point so figured I would mention it.

[Wingnutt]

Deleted and tried steam version, same issue.

[Wingnutt]

UPDATE:

VR is disabled in game I think..


it doesn't say it is..  but checking the "DISABLE VR" box makes ZERO difference in how things act.

I tried checking it, towering out, then going back to the runway and re-checking it, no difference.


Doing a forced update of video card drivers.

[Wingnutt]

Uninstalled and reinstalled Gforce expierence and card drivers, no change.



I'm out of ideas at this point,  I've got nothing, ive tried everything   I've got nothing to follow here, no other game or VR app has any issues so there is no commonality with anything.

Sounds like there are mappings to an axis or something odd. Heck it even sounds like you are in F3/External view by defauult.

I thought the same thing when he described the issue.

If it was me I would go through the controller mappings one by one and check what each input is assigned to. Couldn't hurt, and it beats uninstalling and re-installing the game. Which may be the root of the problem in the first place.

FIXED!!!



This issue was related my thrustmaster TWCS throttle.

The default bindings that AH has for that throttle maps a view function to DIAL0 that conflicts with the rift.   They are the default bindings that automatically get assigned so thats why reinstalling the game didnt fix it.

I unmapped that function and all is working normally

[FLS]

It may be something was mapped by the installation. ...

...Then check mappings and settings.

When you reinstalled AH did you keep the settings folder?

Did you try renaming it to make a new one?

Glad you finally got it working.
