Pimax crystal + msfs, black screen only in steamvr openxr mode (likely windows issue)?

I’ve been through the ringer on this one… (cant find a solution or log file path anywhere) openxr native mode is fine, but if i switch to steamvr openxr, not so much. I’ve reset the headset, uninstalled everything including openxr, toolkit etc, put the latest 1.33 client on the windows machine, same difference. Black screen in steamvr mode, if toolkit is installed you can see the fps overlay, but at this point its a pure pimax client install. Other steamvr titles work fine

On my test clean windows partition, i seemed to have this issue initially, toggled a few settings in pimax and it went away, still leads me to think its an OS issue.

Im wondering if maybe there is a log file somewhere that could give a clue.

On the verge of doing a long and painful wipe/reinstall of windows on the main partition otherwise.

Decided to wipe windows, same issue strangely (as my other win 11 bare install it was working), put client 1.14 and pimax xr tools along with steamvr mode, same black screen

On this black screen issue, i solved it, it was some steamvr setting issue… i went to the OS clean partition that was working, noted the settings and then went to my new wiped clean main partition, set things there and its gone. I think res may have been at 100% in one of the options

One thing to consider is to try the latest Pimax Play as OpenXR is built in. Just keep in mind OoenXR Tool Kit is no longer supported and is required to be turned off/disabled if you’re using Quadviews. As OpenXR Tool Kit is only stereo 3d.
