Players in Elite Dangerous are experiencing persistent VR issues, including game freezes on a black screen after the main menu and suspected memory leaks during VR sessions. Reports on the r/EliteDangerous subreddit describe the game becoming unresponsive despite attempts with different VR hardware and driver updates. The memory leak issue forces players to exit and restart the game after one to two hours of VR play. These problems affect the immersive VR experience, a key feature for many commanders, potentially impacting player engagement and satisfaction.
