[chiliwili69]

For G2, G1, and all WMR owners, don´t update your Windows.

WTF!

 

Is there any way of using a G2 without WMR?

It says that it " will be removed from a future release of Windows"

Doesn't that mean that it will still work in the existing Windows but will be removed in Windows 12?

I have the rift s and the quest 2. How will this affect those?

Yes, I assume that they refer to Windows 12 and not to updates of Windows 11.

So in principle it should run while Windows 11 and 10 are running (it means 5 years or more).

The problem will be that they will not develop further WMR.  Perhaps Valve or someone else make a kind of software that make it work without WMR.

It [or something] screwed up VR with my 8kx on Win 10 after a Windows download.  I have no clue what download may be the cause. I tried to launch the game in PiTool, and the game goes straight to normal desktop mode.  No matter what I click on to launch IL 2, it WILL NOT launch in VR mode.  What Windows update should I delete or disable?  Is it a Win 10 issue?  All input is really appreciated.  Shit like this bugs the hell out of me, and software issues are my short comings.  I get totally screwed up with software changes etc.  That's why I joined this forum.  Thanks all   take care..

I saw something on Sunday that said WMR will remain in place until November 2026 before updates delete it.

I have no idea as to how to proceed.  I'm a lot concerned about which Windows update impacted my VR.   Disabling or deleting  the wrong update will no doubt cause even more issues.   I guess I wait for MS to fix this?  Is it even a microsoft issue?  Anyone?   Thanks all   take care..

When I disabled recently added VR Enhancer 6.7 Mod I got everything back including NeckSaver...so at least for now :ALL GOOD!

Thanks so much!
