Traded My HP Reverb G2 for the Pimax Crystal Light - Here's My Experience So Far

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience after trading in my HP Reverb G2 for the Pimax Crystal Light. I saw that Pimax is offering $80 for G2 customers, and thought it might be a good opportunity to try something new.I’ve been using the Reverb G2 for a while, and while I liked it, I wanted to see if the Pimax Crystal Light could offer a better experience, especially for high-end sims like DCS, iRacing, and Microsoft Flight Simulator. I haven't had it for too long, but here's what I can say about the transition so far:

  • Visuals: The resolution is definitely a step up, and I’m noticing a sharper image in both VR and racing sims. This is particularly noticeable in DCS, where cockpit details and landscapes pop.
  • Comfort: It’s pretty comfortable on my head, but the design is a bit different from the G2, so I’m still getting used to it. The larger field of view is a plus, making the experience more immersive.
  • Performance: My PC setup seems to handle the Pimax Crystal Light pretty well, but it does require more GPU power than the G2. I’m running an Intel Core i7-13700K, NVIDIA RTX 4080, and 32GB DDR5 RAM, which has been smooth for the most part.

I'd love to hear from others who’ve made the switch or are considering it. Any tips for optimizing the Pimax Crystal Light for these titles? Also, how does my rig stack up for these games? Your insights would be super helpful!

Selling my WMR headset to buy a rift s?

To make a long story short, I picked up a Acer WMR for around 100 CAD (~70 usd). Prior to this I messaged a guy who had a rift s, but he never got back to me until after I picked up the headset.

The Acer headset has been working fine, it's brand new and I have only used it once or twice. But have noticed that the poor qualitty of the lenses and the lack of a manual IPD adjustment have been bugging me. However i have been getting used to it.

So would you recomend that i list the acer headset, and try and get the rift s, or should I stick with the WMR.

DPVR E4 Reverb G2 replacement?

Could the E4 just be a Reverb G2 replacement with the fact now WMR is abandoned?

I’m not sure about that because it has lenses that can’t physically be adjusted and the built in speakers are pretty bad.

State your thoughts. Perhaps buy the PSVR2 or Pimax Crystal Light instead

Is there a way to get RAW images captured by the Hololens 2? Also, controllers?

I am working on a project and it would be nice to be able to get RAW images from the Hololens 2. If that is not possible, what would be the simplest level of photos I can get?

Also, can it use controllers such as the vive ones, instead of gesture?

Thanks!

How does dual boot work?

Hey guys, I recently got a new PC, and it came with Windows 11 24H2 already installed. I had already finished setting everything up and I only found out about WMR getting killed by Microsoft today.

I was thinking of partitioning my HDD and making a Windows 10 installation so I can still play Assetto Corsa on my Lenovo Explorer. But I was just wondering about the details.

If I dual boot, can I still play the games that are installed on my Windows 11 part of the partition? What if my games are installed on a portable SSD instead? Does that work with dual boot? Overall, how well does dual boot work in terms of performance? Will it affect my gaming performance on my main Win 11 OS?

23H2 for WMR - UEFI BootLoader Revoked?

I'm putting Win11 on a newly built PC that I plan to use with my Reverb G2. I looked around this sub and others for how to keep WMR and the recommendation seemed to be the UUPD. I followed this link to download, and executed the bat file to create the ISO. However, when I tried to create a bootable drive with Rufus, it gave me a warning about the UEFI bootloader being revoked. How have you all been dealing with this? Do you just ignore and click through, and disable TPM on the motherboard? Can you reenable it after installation? Is there a better way to get 23H2 without bypassing security features?

Anyone know if you can still slipstream updates\packages into Windows ISOs?

Its probably still possible, or something very close, but I was just wondering if anyone knows if WMR and related can be slipstreamed into the install?

I think Im gonna get around to making a custom "WMR Windows 10" iso that will be meant only for WMR and light web browsing. Kinda being lazy here, but I know what I am doing.

Just thought Id get the idea out there too. Ready to go WMR, after a Windows install. Easy for everyone.

Free the Night Removed from the Microsoft Store?

I just noticed that at some point "recently", I think somewhere in the past ~6 months, the "Free the Night" VR demo (adjacent to Superhot in the default cliff house) dropped out of the Microsoft Store for some reason. Does anyone know if this is an error or if not an error then what's going on? Is Free the Night available anywhere else?

I think all the other demos which are featured in the cliff house are still available in the Microsoft Store with the exception of the ones that need an internet connection after being installed. The demo apps for Halo, HoloTour, SuperHot, Form, Minecraft, Asteroids! and theBlu* all continue to be hosted by the Microsoft Store. My first thought was that Free the Night's studio might have asked to remove it from the Microsoft Store for some reason, but they (Jaunt VR/XR) were absorbed by Verizon way back in 2019, so I can't think of why Verizon would have suddenly wanted "Free the Night" gone after multiple years had gone by. The Jaunt YouTube channel continues to exist, including the Free the Night trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlKQJcH0mgY

*By the way, not related to my question here, but I listed theBlu above, don't let the Microsoft Store trick you in to thinking you have to pay for theBlu, you can get it for free: https://www.reddit.com/r/WindowsMR/comments/a1ws5i/comment/eatpcid/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
