Strange Glimmer or blurring effect

[Jarhead0331]

I've recently started to encounter a strange glimmer or blurring effect with both my Crystal OG and Super on two separate rigs. As a result, it is definitely a software issue, but I can't tell if it is due to a recent Pimax Play update or a DCS update. The problem is most noticeable in menu with edges and text on the periphery of my view glimmering or blurring, but it is definitely there in cockpit too. It is a very hard effect to describe. it is most prominent when moving my head or eyes, so I suspect it has something to do with quadviews, foveated rendering or maybe DLSS. I've tried switching to DLAA, and adding some lines to the autoexec.cfg file ( DLSS_Preset = 'K' and HUD_MFD_after_DLSS = true). Smart smoothing is not activated.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Latest update had "GPU upscaling" on by default; Looked terrible.
Turning it off, I now have best perfomance/eyecandy ever.
Also, try the MSAA 4x and no DLSS.

I am having the same issues with my OG Crystal.

I found a quick fix, at least, I think. It works so far for me.

 

Go to your Pimax Device Settings - Games - Dynamic Foveated Rendering- QuadViews - and change your setting to Quality or go to Customize and change the Peripheral Area Resolution to what works for you. 

 

I hope this helps.

You're onto something. It helps a little, but the problem is still there. Even if I put the setting on "ultra", the glimmer and blurring is still there, but it is definitely better. But, of course, this comes at the expense of performance too. I can jack the customized setting up above 80% and still getting decent frames on my 4080 rig. I have not tried on my 5090 yet. 

This all begs the question though. What the hell changed? I was getting beautiful visuals and excellent performance on both headsets. Now they are both suffering from this issue. It can't just be you and me. There must be others experiencing this.

I am in the same boat. It is much better now but not like it was before the update. I have the same GPU (4080) as you.
