    yes, it's a service that needs to run in the background

    would you mind to post a link to the 'wolf' DLL fork you are using so I can give it a try with that version?

    I'm on a different PC now but Blanes has one linked on page 41. His last comment on that page.
    I use this one too.

    Ah I had missed it was for a Pimax (Also, I should probably update that window 8/10 :D )

    Also running on a Pimax. Had it running relatively well, but keep getting crashes within a lap. 4090 GPU and Intel core i9 13th gen. Where do I send the logs?

    which openvr_api.dll did you use? I tried several versions and I couldn't even geht the game to launch with any of those

    I'm using SteamVR actually, so whichever version came with the game ( I reinstalled yesterday ). I have a Q3 as well so for now I'm running it on that through VD and after some tweaking its running fairly well. I'm still getting a bit of ghosting with the cars at certain points, if that could be sorted I'd be good. I realised the crashes were caused by OpenXR toolkit still being enabled, once I switched it off, no crashes. I'll go back to Pimax now and see how it goes now the Q3 is running solidly.

    Just putting my long standing request here to put in an update that supports OpenXR directly.

    I had a Crystal OG before my Quest 3, that openvr dll does NOT work with Pimax as only designed for Oculus headsets. I never got my Crystal to run well at all in RRRE. I also had an AMD 7900XTX Gpu which was terrible in RaceRoom.

    Refunded my Crystal - too many power & battery issues and my 7900XTX gpu blew up after 5 months of use - that was a nightmare to eventually get refunded under warranty as they could not repair it - will never buy a Sapphire Gpu again.

    Now I have a Quest 3 which imho is much nicer than the OG Crystal all-round and the 4080super and R3E now runs amazingly well at very high resolution.

    For me the Crystal is superior in every other sim, but for some reason, the Q3 does work better than the crystal for this sim in particular.

    Sure Crystal is a superb image in game but for me the Q3 comes surprisingly close considering price and the pancake lenses at 25ppd also push the image quality up much higher than one would expect. When I think back to both my G2 & 8KX - the Q3 surpasses both of those in performance & image quality (excepting unless you really value the 8kx wide fov). Also EA WRC Rally does perform better than the Crystal in Q3 but that is down to EA optimising more for Quest than they do for Pimax. We really need OpenXR to keep developing and become the default standard for every title and headset.

    yes, they are both great headsets. Pimax software has come a long way though, integrated OpenXr is a big step. Just hope more games support it.

    no openxr toolkit possible with rre, because of the directx version.
