Vive support for DX11 update not working?

[kerpalcz]

Hi all,

 

Since the DX11 update, I haven't been able to get IL2 running in VR. Has anyone had success or is it broken?

Personally, it never worked for me. Anyone else get it to work yet? I imagine many of us are waiting for proper support in the future.

It worked fine for me before the big update.

It worked fine for me before the big update. 

What was the last versions that it worked on? Maybe I will try to revert to get it to work on my vive, I just bought this game for use with the vive, it would be a shame if I can't get it to work.

Support is coming but it's a few months away atm AFAIK. Certainly not immenant, but coming before the end of winter apparantly. At least that is what I got out of a recent update.

I'm managing to make it work, although is a bit of a hassle.

 

- Direct mode disabled in SteamVR settings.

- SteamVR closed

- Il2 Launcher window in the Vive (Winlogo key + Shift + Cursor left/right allows to move the current in focus window between the displays)

- Vive display set as primary.

- Start the game (if the launcher has the focus it can be launched hitting 'Enter')

- It will launch SteamVR compositor and fail to run the first time. You'll have to alt-tab to bring the error window to the front. Acknowledge the errors.

- Launch the game again (alt-tab to bring the launcher to focus and hit 'Enter'). It should work this time. At least it does for me most of the times

 

I don't know if it happens to others, but in my case head tracking feels as if only a few updates a second are being done to head position, which may induce vomit in seconds to people not used to VR. Still, I prefer to put up with that than flying on a monitor. Really looking forward to proper VR support, though.
