PSA: OpenXR Toolkit mod is not expected to work with SU10 during beta phase

Hey all, Just putting it out there so there is no surprise: OpenXR Toolkit is currently NOT expected to work with SU10 while in beta. SU10 comes with some engine changes that are expected to break certain features of OpenXR Toolkit, like DX12, Foveated Rendering, and perhaps more. To be clear, this is not Asobo’s fault nor their responsibility: this situation is inherent to hooking into the game engine from outside the game. It could have very well happened at SU8 or SU9, we just got lucky b…

Make sure to enable Preview runtime in the OpenXR Tools for WMR.

Also, there are a couple of CTDs we (WMR team) are tracking with DX12, which might be the ones you’re seeing. But they happen randomly and not consistently.

Thanks, I will check that OpenXR setting. My problem went away when I switched back to DX11, so I suspect it’s a DX12 problem.

Edit - definitely no mods. I changed the name of my community folder before I re-started, and it’s empty.

I meant OpenXR Toolkit is a mod and currently broken with DX12 on SU10

Ah thanks, I understand now.

I just had the first one of these CTDs. I clicked the VR button in the Main Menu and crashed. I had just upgraded to the latest Nvidia drivers 516.59.

Note: the previous flight ended with a CTD when I clicked return to Main Menu. This CTD may be a byproduct of that crash. I simply restarted the SIM and entered VR successfully.

If your issue was OpenXR Toolkit, you should mark this thread a solved. I don’t want people to report issues to Asobo that are due to my software. Thanks!

Problem solved - I made sure OpenXR Toolkit was off and preview runtime in the OpenXR Tools for WMR was on as instructed. Thank you.

I edited the title to ‘solved’, couldn’t find any tags or other method, apologies if I’ve not done this correctly.

Edit - also for what it’s worth, I think the improvements are absolutely amazing, huge credit to the Asobo team. And @mcbucchia thank you for the amazing OpenXRToolkit, it is really wonderful, absolutely essential to get a realistic scale for some airplanes, and so many other awesome features too. Thank you.
