When I make any adjustment in NVIDIA control panel the whole Play program locks up solid.  Have a 20 speed USB 3 and its now giving problems in this version, the app says the C-lite isn't connected but the stars are on and it's fired up, nothing responds on the app, the whole desktop is dead. 

Going back to the previous version of P-play it now does the same thing where it was solid before.  Only reinstalling the graphics driver to clean mode brings it back to life, right up until I attempt to set the power management to maximum.  Never had any issues before, it ran solid, not this time.

When I first received my CL (play version 1.29) I had the very same issue from the get-go. I fired up the play app and everything was not responsive. Only reinstalling the nvidia drivers made it possible to use the HMD. Now every time there's an update to either Nvidia or Play, I completely uninstall and reboot before attempting to install either one.

Can someone confirm how this works with Pimax Crystal (as in the Main version with eyetracking, not the light version).

Any issues with FPS drops or worse performance?

Yes, the Pimax Play is compatibles with all Pimax headset, except for 4K.

It is related to the tracking algorithm.

When you have uninstalled and rebooted, which do you install first, Nvidia or Pimax Play?

For me it simply didn't work properly, and when it did work, the FPS would drop to exactly half regardless of what my DCS settings were to coax better frame rates. Now I get the steady performance boost, but with the reduced visual acuity.

I installed play first, and then the Nvidia drivers. This is the way I have done it not sure if it works in reverse. I think the bottom line is that I like to treat it all as a clean install for both devices.

Just updated to 1.34   It went smooth except at some point during install Windows Defender politely asked me to submit one file for further examination. No quarantine or panic 🙂   it was 'RealtekWiFi.dll'  This file is useless to me anyway.  I told MS to go ahead and copy it... run it through their bots 😄 

The only thing I tested in 1.34 was headset freq.  At 120hz the AC and ACC were showing in a headset as a desktop window.  At 90 upscale they ran fine... just 'fuzzy' for my taste.  90Hz ran great as before.

After the update, when you start the headset, it says no tracking and the base station icon blinks green, when you put the helmet on, everything is restored.

Mine does that too and I don’t use SteamVR or lighthouses. They said the update improved tracking, maybe it now resets tracking and causes the no tracking message temporarily when you first launch the software.

or so I thought 😉  If I isolate this file my headset is not communicating with my USB3 port.  Oh well, I put it back in, fine. I wish this PimaxPlay had a streamlined version just for PCL.  There is so much useless for me 'stuff' running all the time. Yes, I configured the startup apps and processes for both Pimax and Steam, took out as much as I could without breaking it. Still have to kill off a few processes after every Pimax session is done.  I'm not even going into piles of'leftovers' in temp folders... sure, some of them are needed.

On a positive note I like the headset's performance and image in the apps and games I use it for.  I don't care about its sound input or output since I use something else for that.

I have a question, I had to do a fresh install of windows, so I need to re-download every darn app again from scratch. Pimax installed the Pimax Play 1.34.1, is the one that supports Open XR? If it is what apps do I need to install to keep running Open XR, I had Open XR Tool Kit, Open XR Switcher, Pimax Open XR, Quad Views, on my old setup, just don't know what I need with this version. Thanks

Performance wise I would stick with Pimax Play 1.29, along with PimaxXR 0.4.4 and QVFR  1.1.3.  If you use sharpening, install OpenXRtoolkit also and used CAS sharpening with it as it is the best in term of performance compared to using sharepening in DCS or QVFR. 

1.34 is good with built-in OpenXR and QVFR support but it is not quite optimized yet.

I installed  v1.34.02.01 (released on Nov 15) and this time my Win Defender was happy. The new 'RealtekWiFi.dll' modded on Nov 14 did not trigger Defender's curiosity 🙂 .
