ETS2 1.27 is the only game on my PC that I cannot run anymore on my Oculus Rift: as soon as I start the game I can hear the intro sound (choppy), but still Oculus Home is shown for about 10 seconds. Then the intro is shown, but the image is very choppy and the Oculus hourglass is shown repeatedly. Sometimes the image is stuck for a few seconds. I can enter the game and start driving but it has about 5 FPS and the Oculus hourglass keeps popping up.
I tried a lot: no mods, new profile, steam integrity check, removed the game, reinstalled it, removed c:\users\myname\documents\euro truck simulator, disabled anti-virus, installed the latest nVidia driver, reinstalled (repaired) the Oculus software, reset view, tried other USB ports, nothing helps. All other Steam games and demos like Assetto Corsa, Found, MSI Electric, GE Neuro run just fine, no problem at all. Oculus Home games like Google Earth also run without trouble. ETS is the only game that won't run as it should anymore (I've put many hours in VR in ETS, without problems). This started about a week ago.
The game runs fine when it is running on my monitor. It just won't run in VR (startup option -oculus and opted in for the beta ETS2 1.27 Oculus VR).
Does anyone else have this issue too? Does anyone have a solution? Is VR for ETS2 broken?
It seems people are having issues with some games in the last few days, posts on both here and Reddit are saying games aren't working or are stuttering. Not sure of a solution yet!
I finally found the problem: it's Avast anti-virus. Disabling Avast did not help, but removing Avast did. Now I'm using Windows Defender and ETS2 is running again as before (mods and all included). I was pulling my hair out, but it's resolved.
Yeah, I didn't have a problem with any of my Steam games in the last days.
It's a shame about ETS2 - I used to like it and drive quite a bit, but one time I suddenly got very sick after driving for around an hour - I have no idea why. Haven't touched it since - every time i think of it I start feeling yukky already!
I don't have Avast but I still cannot run ETS2 / ATS in VR since May. :'(
