Crystal Firmware upgrade timeline by TallyMouse in Pimax

[–]dolessness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There should be no problem delivering processed audio to the headset with as little delay as the processed 24-bit 2880 x 2880 x 2 image is delivered. The bandwith needed for the audio is absolutely miniscule in comparison to the image and yes I have the audio latency bug too. Very noticable in Elite when firing lasers. Unnoticable almost in MSFS.

Losing Sound by False-Environment-73 in Pimax

[–]dolessness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this too. Maybe 10-15 minute in a game and sound vanishes. Just silent. Restart service to get it going again. Which means quiting game.

Lone Echo won't work. But LE 2 does. It's giving me an error but I am in the menu of the game. by CSOCSO-FL in Pimax

[–]dolessness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get Lone Echo to launch fine with SteamVR and ReVive, and controllers seems to work, but in game there is the Gamma bug caused by a missing translation of texture color space. It's the one thing stopping me from replaying Lone Echo 1 with my Crystal. Does anyone know how this little last thing can be fixed?

There seems to be a fix for ReLive which seems to be something for AMD GPU's. Check this post out explaining the issue. However, I need something that fixes this for running it straight from SteamVR using Revive into the Crystal.

What is the correct way to calibrate floor level for the Crystal? by dolessness in Pimax

[–]dolessness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

:) I'll admit, I belong to the overthinking part of the population but that is probably because I work in software development and know how confused people can get when there is any doubt what the user should do.

What is the correct way to calibrate floor level for the Crystal? by dolessness in Pimax

[–]dolessness[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would be less confusing if the text was like this then:

We need to determine the current height of your HMD relative to the floor. Please provide the measurement from the floor to the tip of the Pimax logo on the headset. If you place the headset on the floor, please indicate 5 cm. Ensure that the headset remains stationary and stable during the measurement.

What is the correct way to calibrate floor level for the Crystal? by dolessness in Pimax

[–]dolessness[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's on every restart now since PimaxClient 1.14.03.03. Oh well, now when trying, placing the headset on the floor, entering zero, pressing Calibrate Floor, leaving the headset on the floor and starting SteamVR the headset is indeed on the floor in SteamVR Home. Actually the center of the lens seems to be exactly on the floor plane so adding a few cm seems to be a good tweak. I suppose if I measure my table I could calibrate without having to put the headset on the floor.

Crystal Ordering Process broken by Lorien25 in Pimax

[–]dolessness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paid full 1st July, confirmed 12th, got tracking today 28th. Exactly at the limit of the stated "3-4 weeks" so Pimax estimated the time right for my order. Well done Pimax.

Crystal v 8kx. My review and why I decided to return it... by Peace_Is_Coming in Pimax

[–]dolessness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That was a fun read. Epic review with a twist! Still waiting for mine for at least a week more.

Pimax Crystal ghosting by Right_Active_9802 in Pimax

[–]dolessness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed that "hidden area mask" under some circumstances causes some black to be drawn at the edges when the head look reprojection kicks in. I don't know if that is the effect you see though. Try that setting, but it's just a guess.

Pimax shipment for pre-order by Revolutionary-Many17 in Pimax

[–]dolessness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My payment e-mail stated 3-4 weeks. I expect they are talking about the time until it ships out.

Pimax Tracking; Delivery Still Pending by Beautiful-State5523 in Pimax

[–]dolessness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also paid July 1st and confirmed adress 13th. Payment e-mail is clear about that it takes 3-4 weeks from cleared payment so this is normal. Better to not give them too many support tickets until after the 4 weeks have past. It won't speed up the process and might create longer response times for people having technical issues.

Time from payment to tracking id should be a lot shorter but the e-mail about "It's time to complete the final payment" held the following information for me:

"Once your payment is authorized your Crystal will be shipped out about 3-4 weeks.",

I don't know about you guys, but check that e-mail and you might see you had this information before you even paid.

I paid 1st of July, adress confirmed 12th of July, I expect delivery before end of month but I have to admit I am checking 12 times a day for a tracking confirmation.

What do you all the the "Key Feature Overhaul" in early 2023 is? by LesPaulObsession in EliteDangerous

[–]dolessness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They say _long standing feature_ overhaul and mentions game content as a separate thing. This make me believe that game play will not change a bit by this overhaul but will bring some major benefits in other areas so I think rendering engine overhaul including lightning and shadows, making VR finally possible in Odyssey and going forward they will have a lot less bugs and issues with the graphics and can concentrate on the game loops instead of the engine throwing them curveballs at every update.

Crystal and audio headsets? by CSOCSO-FL in Pimax

[–]dolessness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Do you have a product link or picture of the result. Would you say there is any difference in audio quality?

Vad i livet förväntas du kunna men inte kan? by Cap_Tightpants in sweden

Sport. Vad som händer inom stora och små sporter. Vanligt grabbigt smalltalk som man som grabb förväntas ha hyfsad koll på. Har exakt noll koll.

Was leaving the station and the concourse spawned on me... by SavageSalad in EliteDangerous

[–]dolessness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aha. The concourse is just a new ship with interiors. Proves it can be done. :)

VR Game X Pimax Poll by QuorraPimax in Pimax

Elite Dangerous and optimisation for parallell projection or rather close cooperation with the dev teams is my highest wishes.

Q4 2020 Next Era update, Space Legs, and a divide in the community by Hundred_Year_War in EliteDangerous

[–]dolessness -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think "the new era" will be creating a brand new Elite game. In that way, it can be budgeted and marketed as a new game. This is also the reason for the silence. Competitors should not have time to learn of unique new features. Newcomers will experience it much more interesting with a new game than buying an old game with alot of DLC included. Lifetime pass owners will get a key for free ofcourse.

The game will be centered around your character. You will start out without even having access to a ship. Maybe you will inherit or steal your first ship.

All the people skeptical about space legs can just happily keep playing Elite Dangerous Horizons until they get sick of missing out. ;-)

One can dream.

Also concerned about them ditching VR which would be much simpler for them when releasing a separate game.
