Hello!

I’d like to ask if there’s a way to get the VR view to render flat and not the warped mess that goes into the pimax headset (i mainly want it for streaming/recording. It looks really bad with the warping, even on potato FOV). Is there a 3rd party app, or something in steamvr/pitool?

Thank you in advance.

Use the OpenVR Capture extension in OBS

Which currently does not render at full framerate, unless you roll back to an old version of SteamVR.
