No problem. I only mentioned it as I had the same thing only in the right eye when I tried to overclock but unlike what you just described mine never went away.
I hope you work it out.
can anyone send me a link to this pitoll version as official link is broken ?

249 is the one you want for serial 204. It is in the same topic.

I donāt see back-light brightness option in .249. Itās only me or general issue ?
I have not using VR over 2 months and missed all that changes in Pitool.
They mentioned backlight control temporarily due to needing to re evaluate brightness level. It I think was detailed in 245 or 197. Not sure which version detailed it. But will return in a future release.

Hmmā¦ framerate has taken a huge hit since I updated to .245 FW255. Went from more or less holding 90hz in iRacing to struggling to hold 70hz even with graphics turned down and SS reduced to 1x. Running the HDR graphics setting is no longer viable.
Still havenāt done these updates as I have yet to see what the upsides are supposed to be (outside of a 120hz mode which I donāt have anywhere close to the power to push at the resolutions I want to drive anyway, so I wonāt be using that). Are there any actual advantages whatsoever to updating from the 1.0.1.180 beta?
P.S. As a feature request, It would be great to have a thread where the top-post always links to the latest downloads. If that exists here I havenāt been able to find it.
EDIT: Well, I did manage to find some later versions (1.0.1.253 and 1.0.1.254 alpha) and decided I could probably safely update at least PiTool (creating a restore point first). And of course it updated my firmware without asking, lovely. (Note: PLEASE donāt do this, I really want to have to hit the update button manually for my firmware! - Itās OK to tell me it should be updated, but launching PiTool and then seeing āUpdating your Firmware please donāt turn off your headsetā made my heart sink). As far as I can tell it went OK, Iām at firmware 2.1.255.212 (EDIT, I now see this did not update) now, and the check for updates button does not show me any further firmware updates. However, I am not seeing any of the supposed higher refresh-rates that should be there (I have a rev. 203 HMD).
Pitool\Release Notes - Category has latest Pitool downloads.
What are your system specs?
Thank you! Hopefully Iāll remember where that thread is.
And it had failed to update properly. I didnāt realize which set of digits the ā255ā firmware was referring to and thought the update went properly. Upon restart it updated again and did so properly. I now see the 120hz mode.
I have an i7 6700K overclocked and liquid cooled at 4.4ghz
16GB ram
2880 Super (mild overclock on GPU + considerable vram OC - this is the norm on these cards as they come with extremely underclocked vram)
All SSD storage
I do tend to drive high resolutions, Iām extremely sensitive to blurriness (for example, I can tell you which of my local theaters have 2K digital projectors, because they look continually out of focus to me), so I simply have to run at fairly high resolutions. Iāll probably never push the 120hz mode, because as it stands today Iām barely able to achieve 45fps at the resolutions I want. Maybe in a couple of years with next-gen CPU and GPU though!
