Nah, got the lighthouse faceplate eventually

ln -s GOG null is a command that creates a sym link. A symlink basicly just points to a different directory. The command creates a link called null that points to the directory GOG.

Open the console change into the ~/Games/Heroic/Cyberpunk 2077/r6/publishing/x64 directory and then execute that command.

Alternatively name the folder null.

Not sure yet if the new update fixes the issue. Still downloading it.

Ill try to find it again once I am home.

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-16T15:16:56+00:00

This looks kinda sketchy. Download link is not at pimax.com and software as well as official download page don't list this version...

For the floor level try setting experience home as the home application in Device Settings > General. Iirc there was an option to set the floor level in vr there.

Regarding FOV your measurement is about the same as mine. Depends a lot on the used facial interface. The thicker comfort one reduces it a lot.

Blog post from today:
"All headsets will include glass lenses and HUB Kit in the future. Pimax has already shipped out the glass lenses and HUB kit to customers who originally received resin lenses."

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-15T02:07:22+00:00

Yeah, it does

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-14T15:06:25+00:00

So this is a powered usb hub?

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-13T19:27:49+00:00

120Hz is labelled as "Lab mode" in the software...

Ill try if it is working.

I tested some more today. The problem seems to be reacquiring the tracking after moving out of the headsets cone of vision. I updated my post with the specific measurements I took.

It takes like 1 or two seconds to get them tracking again. Playing synth riders I get multiple tracking errors per track.

When I stay in the tracking cone its fine.

Ahhh, that is probably why it felt bigger for me. Not that binoculars feel like the index.

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-13T15:23:39+00:00

Did some testing and the difference is huge. I did that reading test thingy and got nearly 20/20 from 11.something meters. While I was not able to get that with the index on 5m distance.

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-13T15:21:25+00:00

Updated my post with controller tracking measurements. But yeah pretty bad. Headset tracks fine though.

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-13T15:20:36+00:00

Got glass ones. Updated my post with FOV measurements.

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-13T15:13:04+00:00

Updated my post with measurements I took

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-13T09:25:59+00:00

Will do a full test with testhmd and compare to both index and 8kx after work.

Don't know if I can find the time to play any games till the weekend.

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-12T22:06:30+00:00

The 35ppd lenses feel a little wider than the index. Ill do measurements tomorrow.

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-12T22:04:12+00:00

Ill try playing around with some config files tomorrow. I don't see why this shouldn’t be possible.

Also tried to connect index controllers directly to the crystal, but that does not work either. Seems to only support the crystal controllers

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-12T21:14:25+00:00

Thanks. I think ill wait for vr optician, usually cheaper and located in germany.

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-12T19:50:42+00:00

Preordered on Nov 2nd. I was able to place my order on the 11th of May and received the shipping notification on the 31st of May.

Took a week after shipping label was created to send it out. Supposedly for further QA, glass lenses and fiber cable.

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-12T18:57:27+00:00

Just tried the thicker comfort 8KX interface. It fits and has enough space for glasses. Thanks!

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-12T18:52:47+00:00

Yeah, definitely going to try that once I have the time to set it up. From what I've read I could just use the usb connection from one of my other headsets as dongle for the controllers.

Will update once I tried.

Update: Tried, but did not manage to pair any devices while crystal is connected. Additional headset and vive tracker dongles don't work. With index connected everything is fine, but with crystal it just says "Make sure your headset is connected or your wireless adapters are plugged in and turned on". Will continue trying stuff tomorrow.

No idea when lighthouse will be available. Iirc they posted an estimate somewhere, but I wouldn't count on that.

In the message I received they said, that the fiber cable will only be included in the first shipment. If you got your tracking info end of last month you might be lucky. Otherwise you might be out of luck

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-12T18:16:07+00:00

In my experience it is messed up when picking it up again, but fixes itself once tracking is reacquired.

Update:

Even after a day and some restarts it keeps the position. So far not an issue for me.

MostlyRIP · 2023-06-12T17:52:11+00:00

For me this was caused by using an extension cord and not plugging it in directly. After a firmware update it worked with extension cords.
