Private Beta Build v0.20

PimaxVR Software Release Notes
1

Hey guys!

Been sitting all day trying to figure out the memory leak some of you have mentioned. I dont think I have completely solved this yet, but at least the memory usage should be much lower now in this version. I re-made the way games and profiles are listing, made sure all datatables and gameobjects are destroyed after leaving categories and re-loading/refreshing and did some other changes. This SHOULD at least help to keep down the momory usage. Let me know if it helps.

Release Notes:

  1. Less memory usage (partially fixed memory leak). Still not happy with the result, but its obviously using less memory and the amount of used memory doesnt seem to grow as much as before.

  2. Added much more to the debug-log (check Readme below to find the Log files). Most of the interaction now outputs in the log, including values that are sent to/from PiTool. This should help us to determinate if (and when) errors occur. Check the log files and you will see the new output.

  3. Fixed a few bugs with profile-listings. Sometimes profiles were not correcly shown in the Settings/Profiles categories. FFR settings in profiles were also not correctly listed or saved, and sometimes not correctly sent to PiTool.

  4. Added automatic recenter origin after startup and initialization. Unfortunately this command cannot be called upon instant startup (after 0 seconds), so there is a delay before re-center is made. This is due to the Pimax SDK (PVRSession) that needs to initialize before recenter-origin can be called.

  5. Temporary removed the “Default” buttons in Settings/Advanced Settings/Profiles as the reset-to-default needs some more work to be working properly and these buttons have been inactive anyway.

  6. Supposedly fixed an occasional Unity issue (happens very rarely) where UI buttons are not interactible upon startup.
