Have you tried open up your task manager and under services tab, PiServiceLauncher
right click on this and choose restart. This works for me on 10500 when I turn on and off 5k+ and gone wonky.

Whats PiPlay for? I am able to run everything without that installed.

Keep piplay aside unchanged, and re-install the latest Pitool, and the connection will recover.

for instance to gain extra fps in Oculus games, revive is more resources hungry…

In pitool, under games you could import your oculus games and that would run too without piplay

Sorry I’m abit lost here,
I have pitool and oculus software and steamvr installed.

I’m able to run the oculus games through pitool, I have not installed revive.

What’s the difference between this and piplay?

As I understand it, they work similarly, but PiPlay / PiTool has lower overhead, so you should have a somewhat better framerate, if you do NOT use Revive.
