We can’t currently create threads from within the Pitool subcatagories and the only Catagory available to select if we create a thread from the main page is Pitool-Discussions.

I’m not sure if you want to fix that or have us submit bug reports uner Pitool-Discussion instead or just respond in this threa as Jocool has

FIXED

It seems that first firmware update didn’t work. It worked after a re-install of .249

Date: 2019-12-28 (Date of test)
Issue Title: Connection issue with .249 on serial 203…
Description:
I can’t use version .249 FW255. I have to force it to connect by restarting the service and after about 20 minutes of play, it disconnects and the screens turn black. When it does that, I need to exit everything and restart the service for another 20 minutes of play.

The serial number of my 5K+ starts with 203.

I re-installed .197 and everything is back to normal and working.

Issue Title: Pimax 5k+ Sparkle Grid
Description: A horizontal sparking grid appears in the lower half of the right panel. The issue appeared following upgrade to latest PiTool and firmware versions. Note, the issue began as intermittent which seemed to relate to power and/or performance draw on the system; however, now the issue is constant. Issue occurs on all 120 to 72hz ranges.

Isn’t the latest firmware 255? Have I missed a 263?

Issue Title: PiTool “My Games” doesn’t handle launch options
Description: Elite Dangerous (as an example) in order to work with canted displays needs to be launched via the EliteDangerous64.exe with a “ServerToken” option (with the user’s server token) (also requires adding some OpenVR files - see links at bottom). Currently the executable can be added (or a link to the executable with the ServerToken option), however PiTool ignores it and launches EliteDangerous64.exe without options. It enters the game (and works without SteamVR and with canted display compatibility) but can’t progress further in the game due to lack of the Server Token.

Adding game links via “Import” in “My Games”. Tried various ways:

Created link with ServerToken option (link works by itself). Launching link with PiTool it skips link and adds executable.
Tried adding batch file with options. Batch file launches correctly with “ServerToken Option” by itself. Launching in PiTool results in 10-12 cmd windows and no launch.
Tried adding executable directly (game launches and “works” however without ServerToken option, unable to actually play).
Converted batch file to exe. Again, works fine by itself, does not work with PiTool (Game launches but preview window is now upside down and again, no ServerToken option was passed).

Possible Fixes
Adding the ability to read in options or just launch links (with options).

Adding a field to add launch options in the “My Game” category.
