PSVR2 eye tracking works in PimaxMagic4All Debug, but BONEWORKS only applies DFR to left eye and Alyx will not work at all, please help?

Hey everyone, hoping someone can help because I feel like I’ve tried everything at this point.

I’m using a PSVR2 on PC with an RTX 3080 Ti. The eye tracking itself definitely works: the PSVR2 Toolkit Unity eye-tracking tool tracks both eyes normally, and in PimaxMagic4All / DFR-UI Debug mode I can see both eye-tracking circles following my eyes correctly.

The problem starts when I enable actual dynamic foveated rendering.

In BONEWORKS, switching to Balanced or any other DFR mode only seems to work in my left eye. It looks like PimaxMagic4All is applying the low-resolution peripheral area exactly where my right eye is looking, instead of keeping that area sharp. So the right eye is clearly getting a foveated-rendering effect, but it seems to be mapped to the wrong place or inverted somehow.

In Half-Life: Alyx, PimaxMagic4All does not work at all. I have tried launching the game normally through SteamVR, loading into the actual game, and using Try Re-Attach, but it will not attach.

I have already clean-reinstalled PSVR2 Toolkit, CAPIApps, and PimaxMagic4All/DFR-UI, and verified the games in Steam. I previously tried an OpenComposite/OpenXR Toolkit method, but removed it all because it made BONEWORKS launch as a flat-screen game on my monitor.

Current setup:

  • PSVR2 with official PC adapter
  • RTX 3080 Ti
  • Windows 11
  • SteamVR
  • PSVR2 Toolkit + CAPIApps
  • PimaxMagic4All / DFR-UI
  • No OpenComposite, OpenXR Toolkit, VRPerfKit, Quad Views, or other injectors running now

Has anyone managed to get PSVR2 Toolkit + PimaxMagic4All working properly in both eyes, especially in BONEWORKS or Half-Life: Alyx?

Nintendo sent me 2 defective replacement consoles with stuck green pixel issue. Three defective consoles with the same problem.

I’m posting this because I honestly don’t know what else to do at this point, and I’m wondering if anyone else has had something like this happen with Nintendo support.

I bought a Nintendo Switch 2 and noticed green/stuck pixels on the screen. They’re especially obvious on black backgrounds or in a dark room, and once you see them, you can’t unsee them. My original console had thousands of green pixels near the right joycon area. I contacted Nintendo and sent it in for a replacement.

The replacement arrived, and somehow it had the same problem again. That second console had thousands of green pixels too, this time more directly in the middle/front area of the screen. I genuinely started wondering if they had just sent me the same console back, because it felt like I was looking at the exact same issue all over again, just with a different serial number. So I sent that one back as well.

The third console they sent was a little better. It had fewer green pixels, but they were still visible near the right joycon area again, probably around 20–30. So yes, less severe, but still clearly there and still noticeable.

At that point I already felt like I was being unbelievably unlucky, but I gave Nintendo another chance and sent it back again.

What I really can’t understand is that now Nintendo has inspected it and told me there is “no issue with the screen”, and they’re refusing to replace it. That’s the part that makes absolutely no sense to me. They replaced the earlier consoles for this exact same issue, but now suddenly they’re saying there’s nothing wrong.

I’ve got screenshots of everything - the original purchase, repair/replacement confirmations, replacement history, and photos of each screen defect taken in the same conditions so it’s easy to compare. This has been going on for months and I still don’t have a console with a normal screen.

I’m not trying to get anything extra out of them. I just want a working console after having to send back multiple faulty units.

At this point, I’m even considering reaching out to Citizens Advice, because I honestly don’t know what else I’m supposed to do.

What also worries me is that this is starting to feel like a more serious quality issue with the Nintendo Switch 2 screen itself. How do three consoles end up having basically the same defect? I can understand getting one bad unit, maybe even two if you’re extremely unlucky, but three in a row with visible green pixels makes me seriously question the screen quality.

Has anyone else had Nintendo deny a screen defect that is clearly visible? Because being told “there is no issue” after all this is honestly driving me insane.

Optoma HD143X - 6cm border around image at 2m throw, all settings at 0 – hardware issue?

Hey everyone, hoping someone can help me figure out if this is a hardware defect or just a known limitation of this model.

So I’ve got an Optoma HD143X sitting about 2 metres from the wall, and I’m getting this really annoying border/halo around the whole image - roughly 6cm on every side that I just cannot get rid of no matter what I try.
I’ve gone through everything I can think of:

• Overscan is set to 0 (though weirdly the OSD might have a bug where it shows 0 but is actually applying around 2 judging from HDMI infrograme - not sure if that’s related)

• Edge Mask is at 0

• Aspect Ratio is manually set to 16:9, not Auto

• Done multiple factory resets - absolutely no difference

• Source-side zoom is already pushed as far as it’ll go

Funnily enough there is another frame around that frame - see last pic.
