Such as the tool can change the resolution,

can play OChome’s games

OChome will disable the Extend mode, you need to tell us. Because OChome just can run in direct mode or Pimax mode.
My friend gave me the tool which can play the OC home’s game, and he said it is useful for the OChome’s games. But I don’t have enough money for these games.

Maybe if the company has the tools to change the screen:
shape (like DK1 OC), distance IPD realtime, position scren on display all direction, scale and resolution,
ps. I suppose what is the cause of “Blur at the center of the screen” and “depth perception” in some cases
I need tools to confirm or exclude it

ps. Quality of the lens is perfect. You can check this close one eye and focus on center of the screen. impressive

Nothing is working: Pimax mode , AMD 290 and Steam don’ t work together. I’ m using the latest drivers. When I start Steam to open any a game. the Computer brakes down with a Blue Screen. I’m waiting now for one day to get help via Teamview. But nothing happens.
When I start in Direct Mode the game is shown on the monitor, but not in the Headset. I see only the HUD dashes of Project cars, the rest is grayscaled huge room.
But at least, it don’ t break down.
All in all until today it’s a huge disappointment.
Hope they will find one day o correct solution for all the bugs in their software/ devices
