Hi.

Ive just installed piplay english version PiSetup_x64.exe International version 1.1.73
Released: 2 Sep 2016
Announcement: English
OS: 64bit windows 7,8,10(only)

After installing that version of PiPlay i get message when connecting googles to the computer :
“The international version does not match the hmd”

So as i suppose my googles are in china version firmware and thats why i got that msg.

So i uninstalled that PiPlay and installed piplay_x64_1.1.67 version.
After instalation i get PiService.exe stoped working error and i still got “where is my PIMAX?” information :confused:

What can i do ?
My setup is:
Windows 10 PRO
GTX 780
intel i7 7600k
And i got htc vive which is working like charm already.

PLS help :smiley:

Got same problem. Chinese version is working perfectly, but english piplay gives: “The international version does not match the hmd”

dude how did u make chinese version work ? ? and how the device should be listed in hardware manager list ? in which group should it be listed ? and what led colour on gogles do u have when their status is ok ? my led is already green.

I also have the issue of the “international version does not match the hmd”. I installed the chinese firmware 1.1.67 and when I connect the HMD the software continues to spin. Any solutions to this?

Still waiting for mine to arrive from gearbest. I was looking on ali express and someone mentioned he had to change windows language to English to stop the crash. You might want to give that a try if your windows is not english.

Heres the link

but dude. i dont have a crash anymore. i just have chinese version of firmware on googles and it only works with chinese piplay software version. and when im using that software i can use only PIPLAY AND NOTHIMG MORE! steam dont see the googles becouse they are not in direct mode. and the problem is that when im clickin the button which is on chinese piplay soft in form of fckn squares, it change for a second to direct mode but then automaticly switch to extend mode (i see two monitors on my pc). after that it is unable to use steamvr becouse it not recognise googles…

i suppose that the firmware on my googles which is 1.0.0.171 is chinese and bugged somehow and all i want from SUPPORT is to get to know how to change firmware… im coresponding with yanliang from forum becouse he wrote to write him mail way and he will give the method to change firmware from chinese to english. and all i get from him is fckn “u should not use chinese version” “use english from global site” “http://en.pimaxvr.com/”
