Who wants to contribute to a positive thread on the things they have enjoyed with there pimax ?
(There are plenty of threads for support and complaints)
Let us grow a thread that reflects the fun or WOW factor of our VR journey.
Sure i have had my share of frustration, I have also had my fair share of 'oh wow that is cool moments. There is so many options out there, some obvious suggestions that people might still miss.
I have tried to get hold the razor hydra controllers, can not find any cheap ones. Just like the move controllers the price has increased dramatically.
can you tell me how to play affected? I downloaded the verison 1.62 with sdk 0.7 i think, in extended mode it just doesnt work , in pimax mode neither.
Yes I eventually guessed that. There is no vive version for it. I have Revive installed also, would you be so kind to tell me exactly the process you do to start Affected? IE start pimax-start vr- pimax mode, start dashboard yes/no etc etc?
Okay, i just loaded it up. I was prepared to have a battle because i have two versions, and could not remember which version worked but actually it run first time.
This is all the steps that worked for me right now (please note originally it took me hours to get working.)
Affected version 1.62
switched on pimax
I was in extended mode (from yesterday)
I switched over to direct mode
waited till all things settled
red light on pimax
not sure i don’t have that problem, you have same piplay as me. HAve you tried right clicking on the pimax logo when it is in the bottom right hand corner by the clock. if you minimize it, then right click you can select which mode you can enter.
Im in Pimax mode. I can play Oculus content got from oculus Home, with steamvr on, as long as you have revive installed i think, they appear in steam library on the pimax icon i can only see extend and pîmax. as in piplay. just played starfighter arduxim and diggers vr experience
I am a bit anoyed at pimax, all this testing should be done by them, after all we paid 300/400 eur for this device . How hard can it be to get a guy sitting there testing content and writing instructions / working with developers to fix bugs?
have you tried right clicking on the pimax icon in the system tray ?
yeah i wish it worked 100 % of the time too, I wish it had positional tracking and a refresh rate of 100hz
from what i understand of the pimax team there are only about five of them. i am amazed it works as it does. It is an ambitious project, steam vr, oculus, vive software. im not surprised it fucks up, maybe would of being better sticking with one platform.
I am glad i have access to direct mode. is it just not available in your menu ?
