Private Beta Build v0.21

PimaxVR Software Release Notes
1

Hey guys!

It looks like I have solved the issue with SteamVR optimization when main Steam installation is installed in custom folders or other drives. Let me know if it works fine now to optimize and also restore backup points!

Release Notes:

  1. Fixing a known issue with SteamVR optimization when Steam is installed in custom folders (another harddrive or custom location, eg d:\Steam\ or whatever). Now, it should work no matter where Steam and SteamVR is installed.
  2. Further Improved memory usage (should use less RAM). Still not completely solved, but Im troubleshooting why it sometimes eats gigabytes of RAM on specific Windows systems (according to beta testers)

Bundled with required PiTool version. Download link below: (same link, new folder PVRHome_Beta_v0.20). Available in compressed RAR and ZIP file:

The log is created every time you exit the application.
So to be able to read the log, exit Pimax VR Experience first, by:

    or
