No - run Assetto Corsa with PiTool at 1.75, SteamVR Video at 20% and SteamVR App Setting at 100%
See how that goes and also remember to turn off desktop scaling in the Nvidia Control Panel. There is a thread on Assetto Corsa tweaking here you can look up.
Has anyone been able to get Artika 1 to work properly on the 5k+ ?
This morning I had a teamviewer session to sort out my issues.
My mancave is very small and the furthest I can get LH from my head is still under 2m in a straight line. Iām not knocking down walls for this. Anyway, my LH is Gen1 apparently although I was told it shouldnāt be an issue, the final result was RMA for a hardware fault. I wasnāt told what the fault was, but it must be sensors or gyros as the screens look awesome and I can still use it until I get the RMA details and send it off.
Never got to sort this out, itās bearable in fast moving games. The hmd is too good to leave lying around. Iām going to spend the time on refining settings for clarity improvements.
Disappointing to get a duffer after such a long wait but Iām a patient person, and Iāve a busy life to keep me distracted anyway.
You do have bluetooth on your PC I take it (motherboard or usb)?
I needed a bluetooth dongle before the lighthouse would do anything. I have a small mancave/cupboard myself.
Soon as I plugged a bluetooth dongle in, and moved the HMD around a little, the SteamVR and pitool detected my vive lighthouse and all was good to go.
If thats not it then goodluck with the RMA
Which headset? Backer or pre order?
Pimax support have determined there is a hardware fault, they didnāt mention Bluetooth.
Truth users without BT have ran LHes more or less fine
I donāt have Bluetooth and my base station is working with my 8K. Iirc, BT is only used for firmware updates for the BS. If you donāt have BT, you can connect the BS via a USB cable to update the firmware. Honestly, the BS seems like a simple device, Iām not sure why youād ever need to update it.
FW updates and to shutdown the basestations, yes.
Ah, shutdown. Thatās an important feature. Iāve got my base station and headset plugged into remote-controlled power sockets. (2, so I can turn them on in a particular order.)
Having RMAād my 8K, I have gone back to my Rift. Iād like to officially withdraw all criticism of my 8K headset (RMA issue aside), because putting the low res binoculars back on has made me realise how good the 8K really isā¦
Great work Pimax, the 8K is glorious!
I have had DPD notification that my replacement 8K is arriving on Mondayā¦I really canāt wait. Not a bad turnaround overall, my only gripe was that it took the UK warehouse 6 days to confirm to Pimax they had received the HMD I returned. I followed all instructions to the letter and provided the tracking number which had confirmation of delivery. Overall a relatively painless experience, well done Pimax youāre getting there!
I hope this one is fully functioning, because going back to using the rift has been painful.
Replacement received, however world wobble and tracking issues are exactly the same as the previous HMDā¦fingers crossed a teamviewer session can sort it for me.
Did you get your lighthouse brand new? I bought two of them used and both were bad, it took two days to figure out. LH will show in both Pitool and SVR, but wonāt work. See this thread:
https://community.openmr.ai/t/v1-valve-lighthouses-identification-and-diagnostic/16330
If image clarity is still a problem: remove SVR resolution cap and use near field IPD image (see wiki of this forum) . Also, HMD Is best focused when it is low on my nose to me, but this was painful until I fixed comfort issues. Unlike oculus or Odyssey however, I never have to adjust Pimax HMD to move it into focus - it is always in focus, huge step up from older devices.
Lighthouse is wired into PC via USBā¦itās a V1 I got from the bay but it looked new (all the sticky stuff still on it).
After multiple SteamVR crashes and runnig a steamVR system report all of a sudden SteamVR says the headset is now tracking. PiTool allowed me to run room setup ok, but now says not tracked under the LH.
Clarity is fine now (no check that itās feckin awesome!), that was just down to settings.
World wobble is still a problem thoughā¦Iāve requested a session with Domanā¦
You do not need to wire base to the PC, that is only needed for FW update. Make sure youāre on the latest FW (436) and no error codes are detected. Unfortunately, your experience sounds exactly like what happened to me.
The wobble shouldnāt be there, i got it a few times so now i know what the famous wobble looks like. It was related with tracking/performance issues, one of the two, iām not sure
I donāt have bluetooth on my PC so Iām having to use the usb cableā¦firmware is saying v298, but when I check in SteamVR it says itās the latest version/up to date
Neither Bluetooth or usb cable needed. The lighthouse simply projects beams that the headset & controllers tracking sensors use for positioning info.
I have the same problem. It takes quite some effort to get tracking working, but after that itās great.
I bought mine brand new and have it 2.5 m from my desk, where I play seated VR games (only). Iām only using 1 lighthouse, which might be exacerbating the problem.
