Q: Does it work with all games?
A: I don't know. This program does not affect Pimax foveated rendering solution. There are certain games that simply cannot do foveated rendering with Pimax. This tool was primarily developed to enable Pimax foveated rendering in VRChat and was only tested with VRChat.
Q: SteamVR does not start anymore.
A: Perhaps some files were corrupted. Try doing a repair/reinstall of SteamVR from Steam.
The log files are in the %LocalAppData%\PimaxMagic-Loader
folder.
Huge thanks to Omniwhatever for getting me to look into doing this and helping me brainstorming solutions and testing prerelease versions!
Very special thanks to Pimax for providing me with a Pimax Crystal for development.
