TBM Autopilot & Oculus rift - CTD

[joby33y 152]

I have a repeatable CTD when flying the TBM 9, while in VR , and pressing autopilot buttons such as master AP on/off, VS, or HDG select.  I can roll the alt select knob just fine, or adjust VS wheel up/ down, but then pressing AP master or other BUTTONS on the AP panel, the sim crashes.  It doesnt just freeze or go to home menu, rather, the sim completely stops running - hardcore CTD.  

Anyone else?  I still use the Oculus rift CV1.  And I’m posting because I’ve experienced this issue for several months and hoping w each update it gets fixed.  But it persists...It just happened again yesterday on the latest MSFS version.  
 

Any suggestions or similar experiences please, thanks.

Do you use Windows 10? Do you have the "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" checkbox checked in your virtual memory settings in Windows? That is what fixed my CTD's using an Oculus Rift.

R,  

Thanks. I’ll check the setting but I’m sure its set to ‘auto’.  Appreciate the tip.

Sorry to hear that. It is not possible for us to reproduce the same problem so it is of the hardest kind of problem to solve. 

I don't have a pinpoint solution for you but I can remind some of the common fixes like a checklist if you are missing something while exhausted trying to find a solution. Maybe going over them can help with the overall system health.

• Be sure you updated Windows 10 to the latest version (very important)
• Needless to say update the GPU drivers and update oculus
• Try SteamVR as the renderer. (MSFS using OpenXR and SteamVR so I think you may try to switch to SteamVR for Oculus)
• Try to switch to SteamVR Beta
• Check the integrity of the MSFS files.
• If you are using SteamVR also check https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/enthusiast-guide/steamvr-questions

Thanks guys !  Appreciate your inputs.  I've gone down the list and .... no more crashes.  I believe it was related to the windowed vs full screen issue while in VR.
