IL-2 Fails to load in VR

[Iceni_Queen]

I have an HP Reverb G2 with new cables. When I loaunched Mixed Reality, then Steam VR, then launch IL-2, it always takes 2 or more times for IL-2 to load. I have to kill all the apps, try again, and kill it again, then the 3rd time it usually launches.

Anyone ever run into that, and is there a fix?

Not in front of my gaming rig.  But I do this.  Launch WMR for SteamVR, which then launches automatically SteamVR.  Then I startup Voice Attack, and then IL-2.  No issues with getting into VR.

 

Are you starting first with WMR for SteamVR?  It is different than WMR.  Don't use WMR.

Also, once SteamVR is launched, move the headset a little to see if is accepting the 6dof of motion, and be sure the room is lit well enough for the inside-out cameras to track motion. Then launch IL-2.

If I launch Steam VR, nothing displays on my head set. It only displays if I launch the WMR then launch Steam VR

A lot of us will first power up the G2 headset, which then launches WMR. Move the headset around a little bit to ensure it's recognized in all DOF, then quit WMR. 

 

Then, launch Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR (I forget where I downloaded that from, probably from Steam), which in turn launches SteamVR. Again, once the headset is recognized, more the headset around a little bit to be sure it recognizes all DOF. If it does, then you can launch IL-2.

 

Oh - and before launching IL-2, in the IL-2 launcher be sure the "Enable VR" setting option is checked.

 

I think you already know most of the above, I just list it all in case someone else new to VR is also reading this thread ?
