Now Available: Pimax Play 2.0 Open Beta

hmm if this is whats its going to be like ill pass the same settings ive been using to date in this version are totally unusable in DCS i normally get 60fps locked solid but ni cant use foveated rendering at all its just a slide show, so i dont know what you’ve changed but its not good, ive gone back to previous version not wasting time on 2.0

No. It doesn’t support smart smoothing for the older 8K headsets.

Games look ok, but the new Pimax home screen is pixalated and glitchy to look.at.

Is the Wifi Airlink included in this patch? I don’t see a firmware update for the OG Crystal and there is no mention of it in the patch note.

Did you check that you have enabled the correct openxr layers? There is a new setting and you have to make sure that eye tracking and quadviews are enabled.

I had to disable open composite, so I lost oxrtk and some performance in Assetto Corsa.

Is fixed foveate not available anymore in pimax play? I only saw quad view.

My custom settings under per app configuration are randomly dropping, meaning I have to set them again every now and then.

There should be a quadviews layer and an eye tracking layer. Eye tacking should be checked.

Make sure it is turned on in piplay settings too.

@PimaxQuorra I have closed beta 2.0 Pimax Play, should I rollback to 1.43.7 and then install open beta, or should closed beta also receive updates?

i only use 1 openxr layer , and crystal light doesnt have eye tracking, its only crap with this new version old one is bullet proof and performance is 10 times better

Ok, I have deactivated , reactive the default Home and now I see it in the headset.

… and I have another question :is there supposed to be any kind of interaction in this home ?
A game launcher, or some parameter we can access ?

You need to roll back and check the public channel toggle

Are you going to be bringing back Auto IPD in Pimax Play 2 at anytime?

Anyone else getting random black screens with 2.0? I have a PCL and it’s been rock solid up until the latest 2.0 beta. Now I’ve had multiple instances of the headset going dark mid game for several seconds and then resuming. The games don’t crash so I don’t think the issue lies there

Hello,
I’d like to echo a comment regarding image cropping.
It would be very welcome if this feature could be added. At the moment, I’m using the OpenXR Toolkit with version 1.3.8 so that I can crop the image vertically. The performance boost in the headset is impressive. I think many users are waiting for this. What’s more, if you added a mask replicating the shape of the headset in the view, just like the view in a real headset, the immersion would be total. Frankly, if you took inspiration from the features of the OpenXR Toolkit, there would be no need for this tool as a complement to Pimax Play.
Thank you

Thank you for pointing me to that detail!

There seems to be a bug with 2.0: The specific application settings sometimes doesn’t seem to save when you open again next day? For example, in BigScreen…the settings jump back to auto instead of whatever i selected before…quality rendering or whatever. I had to check to make sure it didn’t change…

Same issue. Also happened with closed Beta.

Did you enable the “Home”?

Yes. We will bring it back.
