The reason I am asking is that for me in my 8k+ headset it is not rendering correctly. About 90% of the environment is in red lines. It’s a weird effect that ive never seen before in vr. If someone else could check this out with a Pimax headset it would be appreciated. My fear is the game won’t work with a Pimax headset. That would not be good since we are all supposed to be getting this game for free with the Index controllers.
Sorry i dont have a pimax anymore i sold the 8kplus(waiting on my 8kx)
I tried it on the valve index,Man! this realy looks amazing,those details looks insane!
If the 8kx can handle this game it would be a blast.(but on the index its a mindtrip already)
But wow if the full game looks like this it will be mind blowing!

Perhaps one of the guys @SweViver or @vrgamerdude can test out the HL environment with their 8KX and report back.

In a video with tested, HL:Alyx was played on a pimax. Though they complained about a zoomed in feeling worldscale it seemed to work just fine.

Same issue - it’s supposed to be only for people with ‘Index stuff’ … so maybe it’s not detecting that I have the ‘Pimax’ index controllers … this is not filling me with confidence about the availability to play the game when it releases, despite claims from Pimax that we’re all supposed to get it for free…
I’m calling it now - this board will be inundated on release date with people not able to play!

Oh god, that will be absolutely torturous to not be able to play this upon release. I sincerely hope Pimax is paying attention to this game.

So a little more info please. Did you play this on the 8K+? Did you play this on Index controllers? Were you using V1 or V2 base stations?
When you subscribed where did you launch from?

i had index controllers and lighthouses from plan F - using 5k+ headset
Was a little brain dead and didn’t realize I need to launch from home (wasn’t using it). Anyway just WOW. Looks as was said near photo realistic. This is going to be so neat. I imagine it will kill my desire to play some other games.

Thx finally figured that out, duh.
How do you launch it? I go into home/environments and i have a tick next to it, but it does not do anything when i click visit
I just press A, selected environments and selected visit on my own
Hey, how do you get the Half-Life Alyx for FREE? I just received my Valve Index controllers and base station. Anyone? Are they going to send us the code?

I think it just shows up in your Steam / Library, at some point after you install the controller drivers (or use the controllers or whatever). I can’t give exact advice, since I don’t have any VR controllers. (I play seated games with a HOTAS or steering wheel.)

That hasn’t worked for me. Steam support says Pimax should provide direction. I’m waiting to hear what that is. So far they’ve said “plug it in and wait”. Let me know if it shows up for you, and I’ll be sure to post if i magically receive it.
My suspicion is that we won’t actually get Alyx, but I’m glad to be proved wrong.

I’d love to, but I’m not planning to get VR controllers anytime soon. My HOTAS and steering wheel are fine for the seated games I play.
