Has anyone gotten the new Riven to work with the PCL? I tried it when it was released but got refund. I don’t want to use my Index because the screens are icky. Myst works great and the PCL makes it as clear as a computer monitor.

I haven’t myself but did have Obduction VR working on the 8kX.

What kind of issues did you run into?

There is this Steam Topic that might help.

When I get to the first scene it locks up. The intro is really glitchy. Cyan said that Pimax is not currently supported and that I needed an occulus or index.

That is too bad. Though strange that Cyan is only saying Oculus and valve are supported.

Would need to look into command line options and maybe try launching it in Oculus mode.

I don’t recall the game off hand. But there was a space fighter arcade game that needed to run in Oculus mode as SteamVR mode was broken and unplayable.
