[Scoob]

Just went into our Private Group, saw game loading for a bit, now black screen... doesn't seem to want to recover by its self. Will task kill and try again.

Steam VR is crashing on every load in for me, standalone and Steam installs so far. launches fine with no VR enabled, but then it does not see headset when you enter the game. is not showing any crash errors on windows event viewer

Malic you're tagging us everywhere I see you, I see you.

I was just trying to see if there was an in-joke in here, I swear! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Tried again, no black screen this time, but an "Ivory Cobra" (a new one to me!) after a short while. Pie is calling...

COMMANDERS.

Locking the thread momentarily to have a little breathing room amidst the 'Ivory Cobra' reports as the servers scale and team closely monitor.
Apologies for the turbulence. Lots of people trying to play all at once.

COMMANDERS

I'll be opening the thread again in a moment.
The Ivory Cobras will hopefully be now subsiding but of course, let's keep things in check o7

The mission I started just vanished!

Now it's back!

 

[sallymorganmoore]

Now it's back!

Flipping Ivory Cobras.
PESTS!!

 

[Sticksthedrummer]

VR crashes almost immediately.

What kind of error is an Ivory Cobra error?

 

[sallymorganmoore]

What kind of error is an Ivory Cobra error?

Server in relation to missions. It's one of the main ones to get impacted by heavy load on first opening the gates.

 

[Fusion Evo]

VR crashes almost immediately.

Mine too .

One thing that's still missing from the new launcher, I notice, is a "pause" button in the middle of downloading. Most of the games I play now have this; it comes in useful when you need your system resources or bandwidth back briefly in the middle of an update.
Might I suggest you add this to the launcher next time you fiddle with it?
