Hey again! Just a quick follow up. I figured out the issue. The symptom was that it played for about 30 seconds, then would black out for a bit, play for about 30 seconds more and then black out permanently. Audio still played through the headset and the video still showed on the main monitor, just in the HMD. I read online and found that symptom is related to High Definition Copyright Protection (HDCP) so I asked myself, what I could be doing to trigger that. I have a 5 foot DLP extension attached, so I removed it and retried (this was after updating drivers, double checking nothing in power management changed, testing oculus and steam vr games, etc,.). Voila. I don't know why only this game is triggering it, but there you have it. Not sure if there's some setting in Unity that can enable that or not but I know about 2 years ago NVidia pushed out a driver update which forced it on which caused MSI Laptops to have a similar problem in general... they ended up requiring a firmware update to completely resolve (not my hardware spec, just mentioning it for posterity). Got to walk around, fly around, and enjoy the atmosphere. I've stumbled on a few issues which I'm more than happy to report but I want to make sure they're reproducible. Thanks again. Really looking forward to this!

Bought the game, it loads, I select a seated experience and CONTINUE. I load into the cockpit and can look around, etc,. but after a short time (maybe 10 seconds) the screen goes black. It may flash back after 2 seconds but then it's only visible another second and then goes black again. I still hear audio, but see nothing and none of the controls appear to do anything. Is there a discord to join (it's mentioned in the .txt file) or any other way to get to a forum to see if others have experienced anything like it and potential workarounds? Rift-S here. I also tried completely disabling steam, no luck. On the main monitor the screen is just black with a red dot in the center and I ALT-F4 to get out.
