Olliecast Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Hi all, I have a pimax 8kx that was working perfectly before the update. Was running pimax xr, open composite and xr toolkit. since updating it will not load past the firs menu bar. Just locks. I’ve update pi tool. Update open composite. Updated open xr. Tried running without open composite of open xr no luck. Reinstalled pimax xr. No luck. I’ve full repaired dcs and no luck. Just exactly the same issue time after time. where should I go next as it’s really disappointing I cannot even get into the game Edited January 27, 2023 by Olliecast 1
riojax Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 I have a Pimax 5k+ and with the last patch happened the same until I opened the opencomposite tool and selected SteamVR as compositor, run DCS, and later change it to OpenXR again, but I did lose 15fps and the reprojection. Now with this patch I recovered the reprojection but I did lose another 15fps, /s great job... 53 minutes ago, Olliecast said: where should I go next as it’s really disappointing I cannot even get into the game Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I miss too much the DCS 1.5.x times, from 2.0 all was to worse.
void68 Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 My Pimax8KX now gets tearing effects and microstuttering, but 15+fps than before patch. Unplayable!

You have two options, you can either continue to use the OpenComposite per game 64bit DLL within the DCS/bin folder, along with PimaxXR, or; Revert the Openvr_API.dll back to the DCS original one (if you don't have that, then rename the one you have to "openvr_api.dll_old" and do a repair. Make sure PimaxXR has PimaxXR enabled as the runtime. Make sure OpenXR Toolkit is running ok. Also make sure that OpenXR Toolkit does not have and of the "OpenComposite" checkboxes enabled (see bottom of Toolkit window) Then start DCS with the following command line (can be done from a shortcut): DCS.exe --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR That'll make DCS function in its native OpenXR mode, and work correctly with the 8kx System specs: i9-11900KF OC to 5500Mhz with water block- MSI RTX4090 OC - ASUS ROG HERO VIII - 64GB DDR4 @3600MHz- 1TB SSD OS - 2TB SSD GAME- 1000W PSU Pimax 8kx - TM Pendular Pedals - TM Warthog Throttle - TM Waterhog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - WinWing Pheonix MIP/UPC - Homemade Landing Gear control.
