IL2 + oculus crashes on startup

[haltux]

Hello,

 

Yesterday I started playing IL2 with my brand new Oculus Rift, amazing. However this honeymoon was short. This morning I got a major Windows update, and I updated my NVidia card driver as well.

 

Now IL2 does not work anymore. When I start the game, I get the login menu (in VR as well), but when the wait is over, the IL2 application is crashes. I can hear the music, on screen I can see a frozen screenshot, of what I am supposed to see (quick mission...), and in the VR headset, nothing. IL2.exe does not answer, I have to kill it from the task manager.

 

I entirely reinstalled IL2 (after removing all files), I reinstalled steam VR, no success.

 

Could you please tell me what to do in order to solve my problem? Thanks.

Try removing your Nvidia Graphics drivers, using DDU ( Display Driver Uninstaller) in safe mode.

 

Install the latest Nvidia drivers ( 388.59)  clean install, installing only the Drivers and PhysX. Do not install GeForce experience or any of that other stuff, just two things - driver and PhysX.

 

Make sure Windows Game Mode in Windows 10 is disabled.

 

May or may not help, but give it a try and can at least rule this out if it does not.

Thanks for your help.

 

I was planning to reinstall NVidia drivers, but it is working again, not sure why. I had an additional Windows update today, that might be that.
