Pimax Play v1.41.1

[Massifontana]

It seems like that V1.41.1 doesn't like any "OPENXR" layer enabled.. I need motion compensation openXR to fly in VR with my motion rig and DCS hangs\Crash when I try to enable it in game... I had to roll back to previous Pimax Play version. (OG Crystal)

Do you have mbucchia's QuadViews installed?
I suspect that might be the cause, as we've discovered compatibility issues between PimaxOpenXR and QuadViews in DCS, which can lead to game freezes. The dev team is aware and currently working on a fix.

yes but I've disabled it from the OpenXR layer managment tool.. the game starts, but as soon as in the cockpit I turn the Motion Compensation ON, with a keyboard shortcut, the game freezes

Reverting to 1.40.4 to get framerates and clarity back.
That was a couple 'o days wasted..
v1.41.1 wobbled worse than ever.

Hi Calvin

Is this also for the OG Crystal as it seems to be forgotten.

wondering the same @Calvin.Pimax as note you didnt reply to this comment from another use.  Given the headset has only been out for just over a year (and i've hardly used mine - note it got delivered with one failed battery and the headset drops charge really quickly even with the hub etc plugged in)

But I wondering now was the Crystal Original just a test headset to be honest at this stage and to raise revenue, given the very soon after release of the next two versions, its never mentioned in the updates and few weeks ago i tried to find the manual on the website and its not even there.

Seems everything is geared around the light, which is what a third of the price nearly and the Super.  Is there any loyalty for the people that bought in early (as in a year ago) with what is the outlook for this product (and support).

Thanks.

Pretty sure it'll break.  If you need to roll back https://dlappstore.pimax.com/release/play/PimaxPlaySetup_Release_ToC_V1.40.4.138_202507171814.exe

 

Yeah wasn't great for me, got the ground stutters. But I didn't do much testing and still had mb QV running. So I just uninstalled PP and went to 1.36. then it was fine.

If just have your headset "running" and launch DCS from its own startmenu - with VR option on in DCS - does it work then? Never bothered with adding DCS to Pimax menus.

No SteamVR!! Do not use it. 

I plug in my headset. Then I see the background with stars… Make sure you have Pimax OpenXR chosen in Pimax Play.

 

After that I click on the DCS icon on my windows desktop as you would do starting any program.  And when DCS launcher program starts I make sure to chose the VR option in this launcher before I press start/launch DCS in the DCS launcher.

OK superb!!

In at last a jittering mess but ill work on that thankyou!!!

Pimax Crystal OG user here. I've been running Pimax XR with PM's own QuadViews implementation for a while.

After the 1.41 update QuadViews have stopped working. Setting was enabled both in DCS and PimaxPlay. MBQV not installed. After struggling with it for a few hours I gave up and reverted to prior version.

 

Properly disappointed.

There’s a hotfix patch available:
Download here https://dlappstore.pimax.com/release/play/PimaxPlaySetup_Release_ToC_V1.41.2.157_202508082008.exe ; it addresses the compatibility issue between the Pimax OpenXR runtime and third-party QuadViews.

No, the OG Crystal has not been abandoned — we’ve been actively working on the Wi-Fi streaming patch, the upcoming 60G Airlink, and general feature improvements in Pimax Play for all headsets.

If you’re experiencing battery issues, please file a support ticket and we’ll arrange a replacement for you.

Also, here are a few tips for the battery: for example, you don’t need to swap it between gaming sessions.

Alternatively, you can install the hotfix patch, which addresses the compatibility issue between them.

Try the patch we rolled out a few hours ago — it should fix this issue.

Is that a fixed, full version, or do I have to install v1.41.1 first?

I think it's a full version. I am on a previous version, and when starting Pimax Play it comes up as an available update. See my screenshot below from my windows desktop:
