Hi all,

nVidia driver 390.77 here and both Normal stereo and Single-Pass stereo mode are working fine on this end.  

 

Hi all,

I'm using 390.77 and I experience a 100% CTD when using single Pass Rendering with the Rift. Rootcause is g2d.dll when looking into event record.

Back to Stereo works fine. I have no idea what cause this issue. At least the CTD causes the Rift to malfunction in when trying to open Rift Home Screen (no Picture at all) Need to restart Computer and at one time I Need to reinstall Oculus Software. I'm going to stay calm as I can use both known mode in P3D to fly with VR until solution is pressnted. Either from Oculus or LM.

Hi,

normal Stereo and mono are working fine here. However, screen turns all black when switching to single pass rendering :/ (only strobe lights visible) with some moving red lines....I am using driver 390.77 (latest).

@simpilot1 and FuriousBird,

     Have you tried the older Nvidia drivers - I am still on 388.71 myself and single pass VR works fine. I realize that every system PC is different but there have been warnings/recommendations about using older drivers for a while. The reason that you might want to try them is to see if the problem is Nvidia or LM (or maybe both?).

Hi Dave,

i think you are right with your recommendation. To be honest it is sometimes a nightmare. In every documentation you read when having problems is first make sure to use the newest driver setup.

But I have no idea how to go back with the Nvidia driver. Where can I get older version?

Thanks

Andreas 

Hi Dave,

OK, located on Nvidia website.

@simpilot1

    Did changing drivers help you with single pass?

Hey all,

I went back to driver 388.59 and it didn't solve my problem...i get pitch black screen with only strobe/navi/papi lights showing (only in single pass view).

@FuriousBird,

        Could you list your main hardware (PC and video) and then your OS build. Maybe there are a few of us trying to see what is different about your system. As far as your P3Dv4.2 config, what addons do you have. Have you tried any default aircraft - you say that strobe/nav/papi lights are showing. Wonder what would happen if you didn't have any aircraft addons? I realize that you are having success without single pass - so the general install is fine. Have you logged this problem on the prepar3d forum?

Good luck

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your support. I wanted to report that i accidentally found the problem (it was high time). I gave up trying to make single pass work since i did not want a full reinstall and moved on next task which was to update URP1.1 to the 1.2 public beta paired with reshade. After lot of head scratching with that new task i just decided to remove urp and reset the default shaders (through the URP1.1 menu). I then ran the sim and tested the look of a PTA preset. Since it was looking fine i decided to see all that through VR. Once in VR, it seemed too smooth for the usual stereo mode. I checked the vr menu and noticed that it was actually single pass mode.

So for my situation i suppose it was some shaders issue with ultimate realism pack. 

Hardware is a 7700k - 16Gb Ram - 1080Ti - Win10 build. Nvidia driver is 388.59

I’ve given up for now on v4.2 Single Pass Rendering due to way too many issues particularly the strange flashing artifacts and objects like ships and roof tops appearing at airports when I turn my head. Many of us have tried just about everything to resolve the issues and nothing works except Stereo rendering. I hope LM can find the issue because the only real benefit of v4.2 is the frame improvements from SPR and for me and many others (see the Prepar3d posts) the visual problems aren’t worth it. 

Im still using FlyInside because of the zoom capability, pop ups like GTN and CDUs and the ability to import windows and interact with them are a must for me not to mention the 30 frame lift to 90 FI provides. Too bad LM can’t implement what Dan has done with a $20 addon

I hope we won't need anymore zooming in p3d with the next HTC vive pro !
