Does anyone at Mojang monitor these threads? It would be nice if they could at least acknowledge that there is a bug and are considering possibly fixing it.
We shouldn't have to be solutioning this as paying customers. Mohjang needs to fix their VR implementation.
Same problem. Created a desktop shortcut, get red Mojang logo screen then crashes with the same File System error that screen shot above. I'm using a Rift S. Crashes even when the Rift is not connected to the PC.
Can confirm still crashes for me as well. Could it have something to do with the authentication to the Microsoft servers? I seem to remember seeing an error in my windows log files related to authentication when launching the game in VR.
Also look at the comment by Johnny above on Jan 2, 2019. That seems to indicate that there is possibley an issue tied to the Windows account we are launching Minecraft VR from??
"Additional information that might help somebody track down what's actually causing the problem: I created a new Windows user on the same PC and there it works without any problems. So that disqualifies all theories about 2nd monitors connected to IGPs and things like that because the hardware is identical."
Still not working for me as well. They are never going to look into this issue. Check the reviews for Minecraft on the Oculus store, lots of people having the same error. Sad because it's probably something simple to fix.....
Yes, I did end up doing a full re-install of all the applications (Oculus, Minceraft, Minecraft VR Launcher) on my E: drive SSD and still have the problem of crashing on the title screen. I'm convinced this all started with the Better Together Update, for me anyways.
Oculus support suggested I do a full OS re-install, while I do enjoy Minecraft in VR, I don't like it that much.
It would be nice if Oculus gave us the option to choose were we want to install each game, like Steam and Origin and Battle.net do. At least we could test the theory that using multiple drives causes this bug.
Anyone else who is having this problem, is your Oculus Software folder located on a different drive than Windows or Oculus home?
Minecraft for Windows 10 doesn't give you a choice where to install it so it must be on installed with Windows on the System drive C:
Since i've installed the Minecraft Launcher for Oculus on my E: drive Minecraft VR no longer launches.
Oculus Home is still on my system drive, C: , but I reinstalled all Oculus games and apps on E: because I was running out of space.
This just started happening to me since the Better Together update v1.2.1 / Rift Launcher v1.1.5 / Oculus App Version 1.18.0.442021 / NVIDIA 1080 Driver 385.69 / Win 10 build 15063.608
Launch Minecraft in Oculus, splash screen, Checking for Updates, Launching! and hangs so I have take off the rift and kill Minecraft from the PC window or via task manager.
One thing I also changed recently was to install all my Oculus games on my E: drive. Oculus software is running on my C: drive.
Tried this again..... 2 years now since i've been able to play in VR.....
Anyways, I corrected my OpenXR setting in the windows registry. Reinstalled Minecraft etc.... Launch Minecraft in Oculus, get a couple of prompts asking me to press A. Then Minecraft crashes.... PATHETIC.....
Actually this bug was first reported back in 2016!!! Get it together Mohjang and fix this. 5 years!!!
