    I get an error message right when I start. [Image attached]
    Error Code 0xc0000005
    This error only occurs with Raceroom and only when I try to start it in VR. Other titles like rFactor 2, Project Cars 2, or ACC start without problems in VR.
    I'm using the Pimax Crystal and everything worked fine until now [a few weeks ago].

    The Steam posts recommended making sure Steam VR isn't in beta.
    I'm using the standard version of Steam VR [not the beta]. This approach didn't help me.

    Does anyone else have this problem or perhaps found a solution?

    All drivers are up to date.
    Crash dump file added.

    [Solution]
    The Pimax Central Priority Rendering option needs to be disabled. It can be found under Games -> Dynamic Foveated Rendering in the Pimax Play app.

    What I've done so far:

    Reinstalled Raceroom twice. The second time, on a different drive.
    No success.

    Reinstalled Steam VR.
    No success.

    Reinstalled Pimax Play.
    No success.

    I don't see any other ways to fix the error.

    Does anyone have any tips? Any help is appreciated.

    May be a complete red herring but if you have an amd card someone had an issue recently in AMS2 with completely random vr not working issue and fixed it by

    "I disabled AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics, in Device Manager"

    @inthebagbud Unfortunately not. I'm using an Nvidia 3080. But thanks for the feedback.

    Check resolution or scaling. Raceroom doesn't like when pixel count is too high.

    I reduced the resolution in Steam VR to 24%. No Joy. Is there a separate XML file for the VR settings? Because I also changed the resolution in Raceroom [non VR} via the XML file just to be safe. It didn't help.

    Thanks for the feedback.
