Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a pretty frustrating issue with iRacing in VR, and I can’t figure out where it’s coming from.

I recently installed iRacing and everything was working perfectly. I’m using a Pimax Light with OpenXR, and I had absolutely no issues at first. But after an update (the same day), the game started crashing with no error message at all.

Here’s exactly what happens:

• I can launch the game and access the interface without any problem
• As soon as I start a session (race / practice), the loading begins
• Around 90% of the loading, the game closes and sends me back to the menu
• No error message, no clear logs explaining the crash

Important details:

• I’m using OpenXR (not SteamVR)
• Everything works perfectly on other sims (ACC, AMS2, AC) with OpenXR
• The issue only happens on iRacing
• Everything was working before the update

I’ve seen some people mention possible issues between iRacing and OpenXR, but nothing very clear.

What I’ve already tried:

• Fully restarting the PC
• Checking the OpenXR runtime
• Updating drivers
• Reinstalling the game
• Deleting the folder in AppData (iRacing-electron)

I want to avoid switching to SteamVR, as performance is significantly worse on my setup.

Has anyone experienced this issue or found a solution?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
