Before You Launch — Pimax Play/Pimax EVO
Using Pimax Play
Every time your PC restarts, you must connect the headset through Pimax Play first. Due to current Pimax DRM requirements, the headset must be initialized by Pimax Play at least once after each system boot before the native driver can take over.
Once the native driver takes control, Pimax Play will disconnect from the headset. Minimize Pimax Play and leave it running in the background.
Additional notes:
- If the headset cable is disconnected during a session, SteamVR will remain running. After reconnecting the cable, the session will resume within a few seconds.
- You can restart the SteamVR compositor at any time from the About page without closing SteamVR.
To switch back to the Pimax Play runtime, restart the service from within Pimax Play.
Using Pimax EVO
For users with access to Pimax EVO, a more streamlined option is available. Enable Open Port Mode in the client, import the Sboys3 Driver, and launch it directly from within Pimax EVO.
To switch back to the Pimax Play runtime, simply disable Open Port Mode.
