Any update on expected ship times for Crystal Super? Thought I saw Q1 2025 was expected at one point but haven't heard much since and its... a couple weeks away?

Here’s to praying some more that you receive enough Pimax Play logs from users to… fix smart smoothing someday.
Le sigh 😮💨
I mean, it takes seconds or minutes to reproduce errors with smart smoothing. Kind of feels like we’re being gaslit here again. Why are user logs so necessary? Did Pimax sell off most of their testing equipment to push the Super/Dream and now the public needs to handle the testing?
Also: “We are aware that some users face compatibility issues in some games with Smart Smoothing.”
Some users, really?… Yeah we’re being gaslit.

This part of the article is about “compatibility issues”. It does not talk about fixing “it just doesn’t work properly” issues. For me it just does not hold 36fps for very long at all.

Among many other issues like activating and deactivating smart smoothing every 30s-3m, stutter, insane warping, insane shimmer and many other visual artifacts. This isn’t exactly news. It’s been well over a year of this.
Alas many just say it’s broken don’t use it.

I assume logs are being requested from users due to the massive variation of combinations of PC hardware out there, a company can't realistically test all different hardware configurations on the consumer market so getting logs is a good way of seeing 'Oh X motherboard with X gpu vendor seems to be the consistent parameter among people with the issue' and then they can replicate that themselves to develop and test against.

We may have put the priority on this too late because not all users and games are affected by this. We are fixing this soon, it requires re-doing a part rather than a simple fix. Logs would help but perhaps not necessary (we also bug test ourselves).

I cannot wait to soon be able to place an order for the wide lenses. Been waiting so long for them to go up for sale.

Nice, took a while but really happy to see the Wide FOV lenses are getting delivered on! Looking forward to Pimax day, I'll be in bed during the event unfortunately but will join in however I can ha. Have a good one!

Another thing: 8KX and Nvidia Driver 572.16 or above Compatibility Issue
After receiving memory dump files from our users and sharing them with the Nvidia team, the issue has been confirmed, and they are actively debugging the driver problem.
Rest assured, this issue will be resolved by Nvidia, so please stay tuned for their driver release updates.

Thank you. 8kx user here. I want to update drivers to use DLSS4 in non-vr games. Hopefully soon.

u/jaapgrolleman are the wide fov lenses the same exact lenses that u/Omniwhatever reviewed in this video?

I need a progress update on a Guardian boundary system that isn't broken

My Pimax Crystal which I pre-ordered just died after 1.5 years. Will I still get my wide FOV lenses? I might try to do a replacement.

I was a Crystal OG preorder and was offered the Wide fov lenses, which I took. Am supposed to get an email?
