F12 now crashing Elite

It's been working fine to until the latest update (new launcher) although this may be coincidental.

Now, F12 gives an immediate crash to desktop, so I have no way to reset head tracking.

Any ideas on cause and remedy? Any way to reset head position ingame without hitting F12?
 
its related to the new launcher
change the binding to something else and it'll work fine (F11 for instance)

btw 1.1 is nice in the oculus, especially the supersampling
 
They release a new launcher and do not even beta-test anymore with VR enabled ?
That means their quality team does not even have a single guy anymore who plays with VR.

Seems like I was right when I said that their focus now ignores VR as the number of non-VR players skyrocketed after "release" :(

Actually the patch notes mentioned that in 1.1 sparkles in asteroids are removed of oculus users because it caused issues for some.
 
With supersampling set to 2 and all options set to ultra the dogfighting training mission asteroids are so detailed, don't remember them being like that before.
Fly close to them and you get presence as you examine the detail of the rock.
 
New launcher issues...

Played the game fine this morning. When I exited the game i got a prompt box saying "EliteDangerous32.exe has encountered a promblem it cannot continue from." Asks me to send crash report blah blah blah. I didn't really think anything of it b/c i was getting off for a little while. When I tried to get back on later i got a prompt telling me there was a new launcher available, so I downloaded and installed. Logged in hit play game acted like it was going to start then crash and i got the same prompt that i got that morning when i quit the game. Anybody else having this issue or know how to fix it. I'm kind of at a loss i uninstalled and reinstalled ive safe booted and reverted from backup. I'm gonna use my phone a friend. pls help!!!
 
I j ust checked the whole changelog and NOT A SINGLE word abour VR or VR fixes.
Nothing at all.
Hundreds of tweaks and changes.
After I read that the game stops working on F12 I think they dumped VR completely, it was a nice advertisement for them in the beginning I guess.


Ah yea, I forgot about Asteroid sparkles, that was a big issue eh ?

Update:
I tested 1.1 Beta. I have never experienced such bad judder.
I had consistent extreme judder through supercruise at medium settings. Not just judder, it was extreme.
In station medium judder.
Also white noise audio bugs after 5 minutes.

Not worth it.

Cause it gives them attention from mass media.
And trust me, they won't demo it in a RES site on conferences:) They will make a nice sandbox experience where it works best.


Fact is the 1.1 Beta was not even tested on VR.

What conclusion would you make out of that?
If a single developer would use DK2 that couldn't happen.
 
Judder in super cruiser is insane, but graphics has been improve a lot, I hope they fix that SC judder soon. I tested for the first time a Lakon type 9 with the oculus and all I can say is very impresive, everything is soooo big that I get dissy sometimes, is incredible.

Not sure if it will work for your situation but I got that same message before and I just kept messing around then right clicked, run as administrator and it worked. I have know idea why.
 
Sat down at 11pm for quick couple of jumps in Elite, update launcher and run game....press F12 in the station to reset my view and bang, crash to desktop. Spent the next 30 minutes trying to figure out what the problem was, eventually gave up and remapped to another key. F12 still boots to desktop though.

How can such a game breaking bug make it through testing? Any chance of a fix?

In fact, a better fix would be stop the view jumping all over the place, removing the need to press F12 every now and again.

I only need to recenter when I start (since I tend to start with the rift not on my face, and maybe once or twice in game, based more on me shifting in my chair. Perhaps your camera is too close or something akin to that?

So how did you accomplish this exactly? I can't seem to find anything in the game or in the oculus utility, nor am i able to locate a config file with keybinding in either the Elite files or Oculus install locations.

Not had the chance to play the game for a while now. but if the F12 is crashing the game it's well worth a ticket so they can look into it.

The guys at FD are ridiculously busy but it will get added to the queue.

Hmm, well maybe it is but it can't go any further away. OK, I retract that statement :)

It's in the big giant list of keybindings in the menus, but it's not easy to find, especially with the rift on. Look for Oculus Recenter or scan the left hand column of bindings for [F12]. It's definitely there but took me a while to find it.
