fpsVR Patch Notes — May 10, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
The fpsVR BETA has been updated with the following changes:
On first launch after installing this update, Steam may request elevation of Steam privileges (request for admin rights) to update the processor temperature polling service.
The PawnIO driver is now used for CPU monitoring. This driver is signed not only by its author but also by Microsoft. Advantages and disadvantages of using the new driver:
this will likely almost completely resolve the issue with antivirus software, antivirus software triggered by the old WinRing0 driver, but it is no longer used
temperature display for older AMD FX/Bulldozer processors is no longer supported (possibly temporarily), the PawnIO driver has an issue with these processors.
The history viewer (desktop version) now reads and uses the fpsVR app setting to display temperatures in Fahrenheit.
Minor fixes
