Only pitool regression to 253 or FW also? unfortunately 253 has the problem of micro-jumps image that are fixed in 254a onwards
254a features a memory leak and after a while your experience may crash. That is why 253 is better, even though it still has the micro-jumps.
I hope one day, the Pimax software engineers will get it right. The software side is an ongoing catastrophe that doesnāt seem to end. Thereās always at least one glaring issue that doesnāt get fixed without introducing another sloppy bug.
Edit: Softened my post. Please fix it. Itās really necessary to get right to go #1 with the 8KX too

I agree. My headset is worthless if it stutters, and my 300 dollar controllers are too without an update. Any negativity is met with backlash on here, but man.
Iām a pre-order and not a backer, and Iāve maybe had 3 months of usability out of the year Iāve had this thing. An index would not have these basic problems. Instead of prioritizing the customers willing to take a risk on their obviously sketchy product they focus all engineering on making new hmds that will also hardly work. Itās just sad that a new firmware engineer and computer scientist with some experience could easily fix these issues in weeks not years. Thatās not to talk down on the obvious engineer accomplishments pimax have made, but their priorities are just so laughable.

Thatās true. Pimax has not managed to get a basic requirement right yet - the software.
Itās still not working. Every iteration comes with a new problem. Itās unbelievable.

It wont install.Says it has a virus.
Works well and getting alyx tomorrow.Should brainwarp smart smooth work on gta5 despite it not being a official Vr title ?
Tried reverting same as you to PiTool V1.0.1.253 and Firmware V2.1.255.255
No more tracking issues with 1Ā½ hours continuous platime in HL Alyx.
Before reverting to this I could go for 10 to 15 minutes the my Index controllers would glitch, loose connection just long enough to dissapear and the reappear allmost instantly.

Since nobody here is using 253 https://community.openmr.ai/t/tracking-issues-april-2020/26759/8

so does the alyx Pitool still have the tracking issues ?
the firmware is 255
does 255 have the issue. I dont know because I had upgraded to 258 beta before I played alyx and now im back to 253
I suppose I could try it myself. Flashing is such a pain it the butt.

I canāt speak to tracking issues. i havenāt ever had them. Using 249 myself.
Afaik Pitool 253 and 258 use the same firmware fv255 unless you manually flashed FV 263. Pt 249 is the same as 258, so seems a reasonable assumption.
I donāt see the 253 posted here so not sure of FV

I have been setting up game profiles more often recently and couldnāt agree more. There is no reasoning behind the ordering of the list. I did find that you can enter the first letter of the game and it will jump to the different games that match.

253 is still in the Release Notes Category. Just with being an alpha pitool didnāt list it. But can add it if need be.

I seem to be having the problem I used to have in getting the headset to track. Previous Pitools fixed it but itās back with 258.
Yes it does unfortunately

Well, I am hoping for support now.
Not about the Controllers, they will fix them anyway. But about tracking latency of my headset in 90Hz and especially 65Hz. I have a 5K+ SN204 and especially in 65Hz it has always been unusable - because the world moves with me when I turn.
Just like the old first 8K headsets.
I have tried literally everything short of a Format C: - fortunately I borrowed a RiftS to check. No problem. Then a Samsung Odyssey OG. No problem. Itās only my 5K+.
Hoping for support now. It seems they misunderstood and thought my issue was about controllers, and forwarded me to Mr Liu. I hope they understand that itās just the headset (helmet).
Update: Mr Liu has responded and seems to look into helping me. I will share the result so you can profit as well, in case you experience the world lag as well. I have found a video of the issue on YouTube now: Pimax 5K+ IMU (head rotation) latency problem demo - through the lens - YouTube

Damn, well guess the tracking issues must be with the pitool driver itself not the firmware.
is this just another beta or will my Pitool finally upgrade after a year?
