“Fixed compatibility issues between Pimax OpenXR and the third-party application OpenComposite.”

Does this mean I can finally play Pistol Whip using Pimax OpenXR instead of Steam XR? I know when I run it through Pimax OpenXR, the graphics are weird, not sharp and just not correct (and I can tell right away when i load up). So, I had to run through SteamVR every single time just to play this game.

FYI, this update lowered my Star Citizen performance. Rolled back to 1.43

I did the software update and the firmware update. Now the headset continuously connects then disconnects. I never had those issues before. Just uninstalled and going to try to reinstall fresh before going back to last version. BTW where are those links for the older software?

1st update: Fully uninstalled everything and installed 1.44.1 again and it keeps disconnecting. I found the last version exe in my downloads so I am going to try that. I am worried its the firmware update and not the software, I guess we shall see.

Update 2: I am extremely sad to say that I cannot use my micro OLED after this update/firmware.

Update 3: I was able to jump into it while it was on and there was all this weird flickering as if I was having display port issues (whatever was done in the update is gonna mess with people that didn’t have issues) I was able to put my 50ppd back in and its working fine but the mOLED is done for unless I can drop it back a firmware.

Update 4: Made a ticket #130837

This version killer fps. On Msfs 2024 my fps 16. The same airport pimax play 1.43 fps 31.

10

that kinda sounds like your settings changed, like fps or your sharpening or graphics level

11

The update broke smart smoothing for me (tried on multiple games, including MSFS 2024).

(Crystal mOLED Super)

12

Also, as others reported, it broke 90Hz mode on the mOLED super. The screen turns on briefly send disconnects and goes to black screen.

13

what pimax play version are the smart smoothing working on ?

14

What about Dream Air? Any issue with this update/firmware?

15

It was working OK with the previous version, 1.43.9 (with some artefacts but manageable).

Update: going back to 1.43.9 fixes smart smoothing. However it doesn’t fix 90Hz mode.

So:

  • smart smoothing issue is likely software related.
  • 90 Hz mode not working is likely firmware related.
17

No. The same settings msfs 2024 and pimax play. New app Pimax Play MOLED I can’t play. I’m back to previous version and play game perfectly.

18

Noted. Let me forward these issues to the devs:

  • Super micro-OLED is unable to connect properly at 90Hz after the firmware update.
  • Smart Smoothing is not working.
  • Overall performance is lower in MSFS and Star Citizen.
19

I just want to add that my smart smoothing also stopped working with 1.44.1 and I went back to 1.43.9 and smart smoothing is usable again.

OpenComposite - PimaxXR Runtime (lock to half framerate) - PimaxXR Toolkit - PimaxPlay (scale 1.0,smart smoothing, lock to half framerate) - Pimax Crystal Super mOLED= Elite Dangerous in very good resolution per eye with 72 hz working smart smoothing. Ryzen 7 5800X - RTX 4090

Feel free to reach out for more details if needed.

Thank you!
