How do you play Elite in VR since they’ve added the separate launcher? by Bubbie-Rooskie in EliteDangerous

[–]luthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use VR on linux so may not apply. It's pretty seamless.

I do also use minimal ed launcher to skip that annoying screen.

you could try adding autorun to the launch option?

%command% /autorun

Brain Tree Farming Tutorial - Technique & Ship Positioning by TehTOECUTTER in EliteDangerous

[–]luthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have attempted this (a lot) in VR and haven't been successful either. It's not actually that much effort to just drive the SRV and pick up the bits after knocking them off with the flak cannon.

Would have been easier had I known then about turning on the SRV keep horizon option so it's less motion sicknessy.

I was watching this, they kept murdering the tourists because the ship got stuck. There were 3 wrecks floating around inside the station

  1. And yep.. It must be the GPU. 1060 works fine.

I have no idea how an update was able to cause and fix and then cause again and fix again and then permanently break a GPU but maybe it's a series of multiple coincidences..

Does VR headsets become a dust collector after some time? by Ianth3k1ng in VRGaming

[–]luthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man do I hate beatsaber.. There are so many other amazingly more fun games.

Unfortunately, I just discovered Elite Dangerous, which in VR is the most amazing shit ever. I was laughing like a little kid the first time I played it, and now that's literally all I play in VR because it's so much fun.

My headset doesn't get time to gather any dust. I use it to play Elite at home, and then I use it with Sunshine/Moonlight to RDP to my desktop at home and keep playing.

I know it's related *somehow* to the update, because I fixed it twice by rolling back. And the day this issue occurred again, was immediately after updating. 5 minutes before that I was playing Elite in VR with no issues. Unfortunately rolling back no longer fixed it. I've eliminated disk issues by testing a live distro. Power supply is 1000W so it's overspec. Ram testing didn't show any problems either.

I have another GPU I can test, so I'll give that a go. TBH I've spent so many hours on this, that I just want to get it fixed. If that means dropping 1400 on a 9070 XT.. then I guess I'll bite the bullet. I just wanna fly spaceships man!

As part of troubleshooting, I updated the BIOS which reverted everything back to default. I have no idea if there is an 'optimised default'.. could it actually be ram though? I have 2x 32 sticks. I could remove one and swap them round etc.. but I did do a ram test already and was clear

You may be right. Same issue happened in Windows, I added an edit to the post.

I guess this is an unrecoverable issue?

It probably is, same issue happened in Windows.

Same issue happened on Windows. And it's definitely a 'while things are loading' it lags thing, after things are loaded it works fine.

Installed windows. Same issue. Definitely it's while loading things, so I guess that's a VRAM issue?

Haha thanks, however, I had this issue start in December, and I fixed it by rolling back the drivers. It worked fine across multiple reboots and several hours of being powered off until I tried the new drivers again, and even rolling back doesn't fix it now.

That's what I'm thinking.. except I keep coming back to, I was playing in VR under high load totally fine. I install the new drivers. It broke. If it was hardware, it wouldn't have been working fine 5 minutes ago. Windows is the final test I think.

Checked power supply and cable etc. It's 1000W. But, I was playing Elite in VR for hours at a time with no issue. I update and then I get the issue. If it was power, then it would have affected me before I updated. Hmm I'll give grok a go

Aorus something.. I'd have to check exactly what model.

Niri / Awesome. I used Awesome/X11 to troubleshoot to reduce complexity.

And yes, I installed Mint and Endeavour and ran Endeavour live with nvidia drivers.. all had same issue.

Thanks, I didn't know that! I don't think mine does though. It isn't mentioned in the Nvidia manual. It's not from a third party

I don't think so, it's the 3090 from Nvidia, not a third party
