ReverendTed 0 Posted February 14, 2019 I have an Oculus Rift (CV1) and a Steam copy of Dirt Rally. I typically start DR through my Rift home screen. The first thing I have to do (every time) is reset my view, but that's a minor annoyance. Occasionally, I'll start a stage and instead of putting me in the vehicle, I'll be in more of a "Theater" mode (similar to how you view menus) where I'm essentially watching the gameplay on a flat screen floating in front of me. It's particularly frustrating because as far as I can tell there's no way to predict when it will happen, and I can't really seem to definitively fix it without exiting the game entirely. (For instance, recently I ran a stage that way, exited to the menu after completing the stage, then went back into the rally and the next stage started in the same "Theater" mode.) Plus, I'm afraid that since it's already at the "Hold Handbrake to Start" prompt, I'll forfeit the stage if I quit the game. I haven't tested that, but I'm afraid to - can anyone confirm? That'd be particularly frustrating, for instance, halfway through a weekly Online Rally event. Does anyone know why this happens or how to prevent it? Or how to fix it when it DOES happen? Thanks!

Lexrax_VR 6 Posted February 20, 2019 It happens at random. To get around this , Disconnect your HMD (RIFT) from your GFX Card and reconnect it. Then you go from FULL SCREEN (ALT+ENTER) to get into a Window and then you Resize your window.. Hey Presto.. It does sometimes crash, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReverendTed 0 Posted February 21, 2019 Thanks, Lexrax! If it happens again, I'll try that. Strangely, I contacted Codemasters Support and they suggested I check for an Oculus software update. I presumed this was boilerplate technical support stalling, but there WAS an update that had been applied a couple of days previously, and since that time I haven't experienced the issue. I've also been a bit more "patient" in menus, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. So, it COULD be fixed. I'll update if it happens again. I did start to realize that I don't think I ever experienced it in a stage that had a stage introduction video or brief "drive up" cutscene intro, only in stages where it goes straight from the menu to the starting gate (e.g.: after a repair).
