Pimax Play 2.0.1 & Fw Dream Air 1.3: problems

I updated the firmware on my Dream Air Lighthouse to 1.3 and installed Pimax Play 2.0.1 (after uninstalling all the 1.44.1 files). I immediately noticed several problems with stuttering and screen dragging when I move my head. Simracing (LMU) is impossible. I reverted to 1.44.1 and all the problems immediately disappeared. The only things: I didn’t have the smart Smoothing neither on 2.0.1 nor on this 1.44.1; also entering pimax menu (from inside the VR) with 2.0.1 and 1.44.1, i don’t have the quick room setup,

Noted.

I’ve received similar feedback from other users and have already forwarded it to the development team. They’re currently investigating the root cause and working on a fix. I’ll share any updates as soon as I have more information.

I have the same problem. Two days ago I bought a Dream Air and two HTC Vive Pro 2.0 base stations. I already had PimaxPlay 2 installed because I own a Crystal Light but that has inside out tracking. The lighthouse tracking with the new Dream Air was unusable in Euro and American Truck Simulator- dragging and stuttering and even pulling my POV out of the vehicle. I finally thought to install an older PimaxPlay (thankfully I had 1.44.2 in my downloads) and all the lighthouse tracking problems dissapeared.

Hello, same problem…!
I have two v.2.0 stations and I tried each one separately and both with the same problem initially.
But the distance of my Dream Air to any station was ~1.3m and the angle between them was ~120deg.

But, I’ve found an old setup suggestion on Pimax website that the headset should be AT LEAST 2 (two) meters from the LightHouse Base Stations - if not then tracking could be lost.

After applying this advice this problem was minimized - only some small stutters has left and no dragging to outside of the view :slight_smile:

So, I think this is something about a synchronization of the signal from LH
Like the position calculating power of modern comps is much higher than assumed latency taken for old timers.
But this is my feeling - not supported by any knowledge in that area.

Beta 2.0.2 has fixed my Dream Air lighthouse tracking issue. After about an hour testing it is working great.
