I Posted on the main Form  an issue  wont post it all here but summary:

Been away for a week, nothing changed, now it gets that the bar is almost to the end when loading then CTD,  have added nothing  since last used it a week ago?

Same in Safe Mode 

Tried PC reboot, tried PC shut down etc

I have the store edition  have signed in an out of the store and the Xbox app rebooted and still the same , done all the maintenance stuff scan  system etc etc  updated graphics card

PROBLEM CAUSED BY META SOFTWARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOLVED; Posting solution here. to help anyone else who gets this ! !!

Now I fly in VR,  but I always load up MSFS in 2d first, set up flight then switch to vr and put my headset on.   If I want to just do a bit of 2D I don't plug my headset in or load up the Meta software.  Well it seems there was an update to my headset when I used it for another pc app,   and I was signed up to the beta.  Removed the Beta  and installed the stable Meta Software,  not even plugged my headset in  or loaded the Meta software and MSFS  now loads fine.

Once loaded VR works fine !

Crazy that this would affect it !!!!!!

No idea why,   something in the Beta Meta software must have been running in the background and interfering ( even though my Quest 2 was not plugged in or switched on) or the Meta app running??

Crazy !

 

Oh well all sorted now but lost my flying window  , lol !!! ;-( 

There are reports that the upcoming v68 Meta update causes issues with OpenXR Toolkit. From your description, you might have downloaded the v68 beta.

Reports and response from the OXR Toolkit developer here: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/openxr-toolkit-no-longer-working-oculus/649099/2

A possible solution is to start OXR Toolkit in safe mode and reset its MSFS settings. Or as a workaround, disable OXR Toolkit before starting MSFS and enabling it afterwards.

That's very helpful , thank you.  I know how to disable openxt toolkit,  but how do you reenable it after you are in a vr session?

If I use the companion app once in the vr session and untick "Disable the Open XR Toolkit" I cant seem  to open it while in the vr session so assume its not running?

How do I  manually launch it?

 

Many thanks

 

I have not done any of this myself, as I have no issues so far. I would assume you re-enable OXR toolkit when the MSFS main menu is up, before you enter your MSFS VR session.

 

 

Thanks tried that think it must run on first launch at least I know that what  issue is now and if meta don’t alter the next release I know what to do 😎 In meantime I have messaged meta to see if ff they are interested in fixing it on the beta 

really appreciate your input

The developer of OpenXR Toolkit posted some information about the issue on Reddit today. It's a bug on Meta's end, and he has provided them with details. So hopefully Meta could fix it before v68 goes live. Otherwise, OpenXR Toolkit may be a thing of the past after v68.

 

 

 I’ve fingers crossed 🤞
