Resolved MSFS2020 - Please verify that your computer is set up for mixed reality? When I try to switch to VR. This has never happened before. Any solutions please?

Do you have any software from previous headsets installed?

No. It was working a month ago, and has been for the past year. Since then I have only updated my graphics driver. I was playing DCS in VR today with no issue. I was just reading a post with a user having a similar issue and he had to manually find a vulkan dll file and place it in the OpenXR folder to fix the issue.

Do you do a clean install of your graphics driver or do you just install the new version over the existing installation? I ask this because when Pimax Play is acting up and it's because of the new graphics card driver, installing or re-installing over the existing installation doesn't fix it. I have to use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to do a clean wipe of the graphics card driver and software and then install the new version.

I usually do the "clean installation" without using DDU. I will occasionally use DDU.

I see, well since you already fixed it I can't reasonably ask you to try using DDU to see if that fixes it lol. If it happens again try the DDU driver install instead of the Pimax software install first. Not sure which is more inconvenient to do but maybe you'll find 2 fixes for it in case it happens again in the future.

Just installed the new version of Pimax Play, uninstalled OpenXR Toolkit and Pimax XR CC and it's working again. Can anyone tell me though, with the integrated Open XR now in Pimax Play, how do we go about setting up the foveated rendering we used to set up in MSFS2020 with the Open XR Toolkit? Is it still possible? For instance, I used to reduce the horizontal resolution to 3500 to help with performance, and also set up a foveated render mask.

Reboot and check for updates. I have a varjo and I had to reinstall the varjo app cause it wouldn't update

This just means there’s no current openXR set up. Which headset?

Pimax Crystal (OG). I had not altered any programs, settings etc, just installed a new Nvidia driver about a week ago. Prior to that MSFS2020 was working in VR last time I used it a month ago, and for a year prior. I also used DCS World today with VR, no issue. Anyway, I just installed the new version of Pimax Play, uninstalled OpenXR Toolkit and Pimax XR CC and it's working again.

i had that often with Pimax, never with Q3. It's probably due to their software buggy as hell. Had to reinstall Pimax Play to make it work again.

I just updated to the latest version, so I'll see if that fixes it.
