I tried to play orbus again today after having not played for a few patches and it crashes randomly when open, on both port types and on beta or not

my error

which is the same crashing error I used to get on Orbus til i opted into beta (which had a newer unity version at the time)

Did you recently update your NVidia drivers or anything?

I did about 3 weeks ago, I installed nvidias gforce driver thing so my display port would work with creators update but it worked after that

Okay…does it crash right away? Like right after the game loads? Or just after a while?

And did you install the driver update and the Creator’s Update since the last time you played, then?

5

i tried it after the creators update and the install but didnt play for very long so may of not noticed it and it will sometimes crash immediatly but most of the time its after a short while, i was farming the truffle hogs in the rainforest and after engaging one it crashed (happened twice not in a row though)

6

Okay. Have you tried switching to the Websocket (Alternate) connection type to see if that helps? This isn’t an error that it usually fixes but it’s worth a shot. Also are you on Oculus or Steam?

7

Im on steam and I’ve tried both

8

Okay, only other thing I can think to try is did you uncheck the Enable Steam Overlay box?

9

steam vr doesnt boot up with the game but i think i did

10

Yeah this is a different thing. Just right-click on OrbusVR and hit Properties… and there should be a box that says “Enable Steam Overlay”, just make sure it’s NOT checked. Sometimes that helps.

Only other thing I can suggest is to roll back your Nvidia drivers, I am on 388.59 which I think is the ones Oculus themselves recommend right now.

It sounds like you might be using the older broken nVidia driver, double check if there are updates for that and then see what happens, also might be a good idea to validate game files.

@Riley_D they supposedly updated the driver which included a fix for that. So that shouldn’t be an issue.
