I’ve had my 8kx running just fine for 2 weeks now, flying mostly X-Plane 11. To startup, I open steam and start Steam VR from the steam tab. I do not open PiTool, and this has worked fine since I got my 5k over a year ago, and now my 8kx.
Now after the latest PiTool update, and HMD firware update, steam VR will not detect the HMD if I open it from the Steam tab. If I open it from PiTool, I get terrible performance, tearing, and like 5fps. Unplayable.
If I open PiTool first, but open steam VR from Steam, it detects the HMD, but again performance is unacceptable. This was all working fine until this last update.
I went back to .260 and am still suffering very low frame rates. I’m doing some testing now, trying to get an apples to apples comparison. Since the update, the decrease in performance is drastic.
What is the native resolution of the 8kx in NORMAL fov?
This isn’t the downloadable bundle version, that one is still coming and will include a few additional fixes (to pitool) that affect communication between the two.
266 = .086 Version 7.
You can run this version via installing PE .7 (but be aware PE can’t control the backlight brightness on an 8KX with this version).
Team might have inadvertently released this onto the upgrade server.
Did you notice if it works? It’s ashowing DFR for me also. But my eye tracking is not on, there IRLeds are off and the FR is fixed on the very outside.
