AMS1 working in VR

Have no freezes with ether version 3 or 4 of th VR plugin.
No d3d9_2.dll as that always gives me a screen freeze sooner or later.
Have GPU Scheduling in W 10 on.

Earlier I had similar screen freezes in Gtr2 it was due to GPU OC even I could run all test and Dx11 sims would run too without issues.
Now have OC back on but a little lower without issues but might be worth checking

 

tried the new file but still getting the 2 to 3 second freeze , and also small random stutters samsung on a odyssey t and 1080 ti

 

I also tried the new version and I thought it was looking promising, I drove two circuits for a total of 20 minutes before it finally did the familiar 3 second freeze. &*#@% !

Maybe it helped, as it normally happens within 3 laps for me, but being so random it's very hard to tell.

 

there are a couple of other things we'd like to test here so all is not lost - expect an update soon. I appreciate that testing these occasional freezes is a pain so thanks for all your patience guys

 

right folks, the latest version has changes that we think will fix this freezing / stuttering. I'm unable to reproduce these issues so can't test but if someone who's been having the problems could redownload, test and report back that would be really helpful

 

Thanks, will try soon and let you know

 

I have the same issue, the game exits straight after starting up AMS. Also, when I delete the d2d9.dll, the game goes into cinema mode.

 

With today's version 18th Dec, I have driven on 5 different circuits, practice and race sessions, a dozen laps on each, and so far, the news is............GOOD.
No freezes at all after numerous sessions, several game restarts & various mods installed/removed. I am busy for the rest of the day but will try more when I can.

 

Dont start the game from within Steam, start it directly from the folder or or create a shortcut of the AMS.exe to you desktop, and you might also want to start SteamVR before yo ulaunch the game.

 

Thanks for the info, now I can rest and continue to track down some of the other bugs less vital that needs correcting like UI text scaling.

 

Amazing work

 

I have tried all options - launching from Steam, from Desktop shortcut and from inside directory, all tested with SteamVr running before launch and without running Steam -, but none worked.

In VR, I get the following messages on the splash screen: "Automobilista Next up", "Connecting to game" and " Automobilista now exit".

Only after deleting the d3d9.dll file I manage to launch Automobilista, but in cinema mode.

 

you need that d3d9.dll file. Have you downloaded the latest zip file and extracted all of its contents to your AMS installation folder?

Are there any errors in the Windows Event log related to the crash?

 

Yes to both questions.

Anyway, even if I don't manage to run AMS in VR, your work is amazing. Congratulations!!!

 

Do you antivirus ? if so which ?

 

no idea what that could be - is you virus checker blocking the DLL from loading?

 

Thank you very much for all of your support. I only use Windows Defender, but it hasn't blocked anything.

Anyway, I will keep trying to find a workaround and I'll let you know if I find a solution.

 

Thanks, much appreciated.
Did you run a steam integrity check on on the game files ? there might be some file in the folder that's causing this to happen. integrity check will overwrite the VR d3d9.dll

 

I managed to get it working!

I opened AMS.exe "Properties" and unchecked "Disable fullscreen optimizations".

Now I will have fun!!!

 

Same here. I have NOT had the latest version Freeze on me so far. I played for about 30 minutes. Great job!

I set the FOV to 100 to stop any popin in my periphery on my Vive Pro.
