New VR beta released for beta testers to test Nov 27th 2024

[Mysticpuma]

For any VR Beta testers, there has been a new update to test and the great news is, they think they have found the major bug that has been crashing the game.
Those with access are being asked to give the new build a test and see if VR is finally fully functioning.
Good luck chaps

Does it : AUTOMATICALLY  INSTALL OR DO WE NEED TO DELETE INSTALLED GAME AND RE-INSTALL THROUGH STEAM?

( forgive caps...)

Nevermind...it downloads automatically...Fingers crossed!

So can we get a report that VR is now stable?

[Dagwoodyt]

Wonder if the new VR beta includes trueSKY and ST 8/9.

Hey Dagwoodyt, it does not. We're going to make sure that the game is stable without these features before reintroducing them. 🫡

TY I'm not surprised. Someone recently suggested otherwise😉

It's important to know that tS & ST8/9 are not yet included so that no false hopes of quick solution are raised.

I’ve had a day or two to play with the new beta test and initial so-so results on the two test missions, I have had some real successes with long and stable SM’s (50-60 minutes!!!) and Campaign missions as well. May I suggest  : first ,players go to the ATAG site and read responses and suggestions there and then use it ( it automatically installs in Steam,) and post their “Crash files “results there. The more results they get the quicker the total fix will be and maybe dare I say “Dieppe?”

I  don’t want to be labeled a “Pollyanna” but I am doing my best to keep the faith..😘

Having just bought a quest 3 I might have to reinstall the Beta and give cliffs a whirl in VR.

Great! Your comments on the Q3 would be welcome whether re CloD or any other flight sim.

There is a learning curve ...but this newest beta test appears to make it less steep.

Hey, Blitzen, is there any reason why you use such an old version of the NVidia driver? I looked it up, it's from Oct 22! 😅

I’ll look into this urgent situation at once! Many thanks Batmacumba for calling my attention to this !🤨

It's mainly an attempt at validating a fix for the most critical issues we had in the previous beta version. It's been reasonably successful at that, but there's still work to be done. We would love to have more testers! If you want to, please join the ATAG forums and PM RAF74_Buzzsaw. Of course, you must have a VR headset to be able to join this beta. 🫡🫡

I think the latest VR Betas are pretty much stripped of enhancements such as True Sky and SpeedTree in order to isolate the causes of VR crashes, and to avoid overcomplicating that process.

Yes…and the sooner we submit more test results,the sooner we’ll get all the landscape back and new additions …well….added….🥳

[Dagwoodyt]

It looks as though the private "beta" will exist well into its' third year, no actual beta, all bells and whistles implemented, anywhere on the horizon.😔

Good question , but the success of the newest test beta makes everything seem quite a bit closer..As they say :"Time will tell..."

[FTC_Evans]

Hi Bladder,

 

your best chance is to register in the ATAG forum and contact RAF74_Buzzsaw there. He was interviewing new beta testers.

But Buzzsaw has not been too active on the forum for several last weeks so it's hard to tell whether new testers are still needed or not.

Good luck!

 

Josef

[Bladder]

Many thanks Josef! Much appreciated. 🙂👍

Surely(?) there have been several new builds tested in the 7 months since last November. How many? Has trueSKY or ST8/9 been reintroduced yet?

Maybe walked the plank over that?😉
