VR Rift S.... game locks up if I move to much.

[=EXPEND=Dendro]

So every now and then I get into a heated dogfight....more often than not all goes ok but every now and then if I really twist and look way the hell up and back, my game locks up. I can still look around but the view is off and I have no control over the game or my plane. I normally end up spiralling into the ground. I have to then alt f4 and restart the game from steamVR. It only ever does this if I twist and lean to far back.

 

I have win10, core i7, 9700k overclocked, and evga 1080 ti. The game runs pretty smoothly on balanced settings and my fps sits just under 80 most of the time.

 

Any suggestions?

My suggestion is use this mod:  

Because when you said: "if I really twist and look way the hell up and back"; my neck started hurting thinking about that!  ?

I have the exact same problem 1:1

I tried to move to Much, but I couldn't afford the house prices, so I moved to Spellchequers instead.

Think I will give this a bash.

I installed OTT which I am using along with the Oculus programme and SteamVR. I jumped on the Finnish server and did the wildest head movements I could manage.....no issues so either its working or its a very random event that causes it to lock up the game. I'll keep using and report the results of a longer test period.

Hey several folks are having this issue. It's caused by a sudden and extreme memory leak for some reason.  You'll see your il2.exe using nearly all of your ram, suddenly decrease as it goes to page file, and refill your ram.

 

I've found alt tabbing, especially as the game loads, doing several quick missions, a multi-player sever changing maps, or letting your headset sleeping exacerbates the issue.

 

I never alt tab and reopen the game after map changes and it has greatly reduced this issue from every hour to once every couple of sessions.

I do not use third-party programs to play. My interface locks and freezes when I turn my head sharply in combat while flying in the Rift S. Not only does the plane control lock, but the interface also locks and I can't even exit the game. I had a lucky chance to record a track with this bug, because I was flying online. On the sixth minute in a battle with an opponent, I tilted my head hard and the game blocked the controls.

If you watch this track, after my fall you will no longer be able to go back to the F1 view or switch views to free mode by Alt-F1. Try doing this and you will see that not only in the game the controls break, but even when viewing the track.

thats the worst.....6 minutes into a heavy dogfight and you crap out cos of a glitch?

I can't figure out how to bypass SteamVR when I play in VR....any ideas?

Hi Mate, if you use OpenComposite as Firebird said it does not use steamVR(from what I can see) to play IL2. It works on the Quest 2 I have, so I am guessing it works with a Rift-S.

Hope you get it resolved.

It does work on the rift-s and makes quite a difference.
