Great job guys! Looking forward to trying it out! I have a suggestion though, can you implement distortion adjustment sliders for the vertical and horizontal distortion? Sort of like Distortionbuddy for the Vive? I have a feeling it will help, if not fix entirely, many people’s distortion issues. Thanks!

-when launching games from Pitool, steam Vr does not start but game is still in Vr.
only tried DCS so far.
-Smart Smoothing still not working for me, a bit better than before ( how many frames is SS adding ? )
-no eye strain at the moment.
-brightness and contrast adjustment are really good implementation but looks like contrast does not affect colors on 5k+, it does like brightness but stronger.
Amazing work guys
@Sean.Huang

Any idea on when ffr will be available for 10xx series ?

Hi Sean,
Can you please advise if this beta works on the 4k as well?

Thanks

most likely should work. Because it is unlikely that they will make a new piplay for pimax 4k and make it common for all pitool. but how exactly it will work no one knows. I tried the version of the pitool 102 I had a monitor with glasses on … testing today maybe this is some kind of mistake was only in that version

Hello Sean. Here’s Feedback.

I’m using Fallout 4 VR with PP on (as required) on Windows 10 with a 1080ti and i7-6700K with 32gb RAM and an SSD Drive.

Feedback:
-Smart Smoothing ALWAYS (all versions of Pitools including this new one) shows as “Inactive”. I’ve tried 90 and 72hz on this new Pitool so far (and 64hz on previous Pitools). I’ve tried Large and Normal FOV (and Small on previous Pitools). Either the indicator is broken or I’m not getting smoothing.
Nothing makes Smart Smoothing show as “Active”.
-Turning FOV to “Large” removes the Refresh Rate option.
-It’s odd to have 2 Brightness options, the old Low/Normal/High dropdown and the new left/right slider bars. Are they additive?
-The brightness and contrast options are great! Especially that they can be used live, without restarting anything. They seem to both be having a very similar effect, but perhaps I need to try them out more.

Something seems better about the image. I can’t tell if it’s just me wishing so strongly for 2 or 3 extra frames to be added to Smart Smoothing, which I desire very much.

Thanks for the new version and the detailed changelog.

-Turning FOV to large does not remove refresh rate option on my mine, can still chose between different modes.
-Smart Smoothing does show as active for me when kicking in (DCS/RF2/ONWARD).
Did you perform a clean instal, uninstalling Pitool and deleting all Pitool/Pimax folders ?

Would also be very happy with 2 more frame in Smart Smoothing :slight_smile:
But i am sure that it is much harder than it sounds soo once again Kudos Pimax !!!

@Sean.Huang: You forgot to mention that You also added the “Restart Service” option in the “HMD” tab so people no longer need to restart PiServiceLauncher the hard way :wink: Thanks! :slight_smile:
