Last night My Pimax 5K+ turned into a paper weight

Pimax 8K Series

Last night I was ready to play Assetto Corsa when I notice an update from SteamVR. After the update the screen keep flicking and nothing works not even Oculus games. Unistall SteamVr and nothing, Unistall Pitool and nothing either. Im running Pitool beta 211. Any body experience anything like this?

Yeah I have that since a few weeks. Sometimes steamvr starts but then at like 2 fps. Tried everything nothing worked. Weirdly enough the pimax environment, so that planet you walk on, works fine.

Tried pretty much everything. Old firmware old pitools old steamvr nothing works. My pimax is gathering dust since

Have you checked that the steamvr supersampling hasnt maxed itself somehow?
I dont know what the reason would be but if that happen it would cause steamvr to render at a super high resolution and give you flickery super low frame rate with weird edges to the rendered image.

That shouldn’t affect Oculus games as they run without steam. But might be an ides to ensure steamvr is not running when attempting to run an oculus title.

I’ll check that tonight, but nothing was changed and I play ED and Assetto almost every night without a problem since I have the Pimax. Thanks

I know that is very extrange. Oculus has nothing to do with Steam. I’ll try again tonight and see what happens. Thanks
