solved OpenXR Toolkit Will Not Work - Pimax Crystal

[British_Dragon_14]

Every time I start DCS in either custom OpenXR Toolkit settings or Safe Mode all I see is the Pimax logo in the Crystal. The only way I can get DCS to work in VR is by disabling OpenXR Toolkit in it's menu.

I have PimaxXR Runtime and Quad Views Campanion working, as well as Dynamic Foveated Rendering but I can't get OpenXR toolkit to work at the same time as my HMD.

Below is my log and it looks like it is working as it says 'open menu with 2' which is what I had it set to and is my usual setup. Even though I can not see DCS in the Crystal.

Any help would be appreciated! Thankyou!

From memory, you might want to try making sure the api ordering is right, openxr toolkit should be installed first I think

You can check the ordering and move the layers with https://github.com/fredemmott/OpenXR-API-Layers-GUI/releases/tag/v2024.01.17

Thanks. I already tried that but I don't know how to use it. When I select add layers it doesn't allow me to add EXE files, only JSON files.

I had OpenXR Toolkit installed a while ago because I had the Reverb G2. I had version 1.3.2 which is still the latest version.

In OpenXR Toolkit it says from top to bottom:

XR_APILAYER_MBUCCHIA_toolkit

XR_APILAYER_MBUCCHIA_quad_views_foveated

XR_APILAYER_MBUCCHIA_eye_trackers

XR_APILAYER_ALMALENCE_digital_lens

The exe is not relevant you don't need to add any just likely fix the order...

Theirs nothing in the box though. I've just taken a screenshot of my desktop.null

[speed-of-heat]

use the win64 hklm version you should get this or something like it

null

I just loaded the win64 HKLM version and their was a list but at the bottom it said that their was a problem with the order and something to do with Varjo Aero. So I clicked 'Fix it' and now the list has disappeared and I can't get the list back. OpenXR Toolkit refuses to even be switched on now. Screenshot below:null

In the first screenshot I had rearranged the order so it looked correct without the '!' telling me that their was an issue. I then unticked Almalense and I'm guessing that is somehow incompatible maybe?

The only thing to do now is load up DCS and see if OpenXR Toolkit works, but I really like the Almalense visual enhancement of the cockpit textures and it would be a shame to not use it. It makes a big difference for me.

well glad you are up and working, you might find that fiddling with the order will get it working!

[British_Dragon_14]

Thankyou! I managed to get it working in DCS and it even works with Almalense!!! Brilliant!!!

Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou speed of heat!

Now I just need to get OpenXR Mirror running in OBS.
