What the gently caress, my left index controller trackpad went from sort of tracking my thumb, to perfectly tracking it, to barely detecting it at all. What the hell is causing this?

Don't suppose anyone's checked into that game that got announced at the Game Awards? Seems like a beat-em-up inspired by arcade games.

It looks pretty cool but it's only 2 hours long and it doesn't have multiplayer yet. Kinda ridiculous to make a Streets of Rage knockoff and launch without coop.

Hey question for Index owners, you have any issues with the thumbsticks in Steam VR Home? I look at the controller configuration and it looks perfect. Everywhere I move my thumbsticks, I see it tracking perfectly. 100% perfectly. But in Steam VR Home, the right thumbstick only turns me, most of the time it won't teleport. Then when it will teleport (rarely, randomly) it does so INSTANTLY, its not like you push and aim and then let go to teleport, it just pops me right to wherever I'm pointing. Sometimes several times in a row. The left stick works 95% of the time. But then 5% of the time it'll do that "instant teleport" thing. What is going on?  I don't think its the controllers... how is Steam VR this hosed? I checked the bindings and they're symmetrical between the two controllers...https://uploadvr.com/valve-index-thumbstick-workaround/ quote:The face of the controllers features two buttons, a small trackpad, and a thumbstick. While the thumbstick can be clicked when centered, when deflected at certain angles it cannot. On the Valve Index subreddit, users have reported that Valve do not consider this a defect. This software update indicates the company intends to work around the issue with software.  Eh, that still doesn't explain why one works well and the other doesn't...

Update your controllers. I had the same issue when I first got my Index and that did the job. e; it would be weird if you hadn't already updated them, but from the SteamVR window click three bars -> Devices -> Update Device -> see if there are updates available. treat fucked around with this message at 07:55 on Dec 13, 2019 |

Try calibrating the thumbsticks too? I can't remember if that was what fixed it, or if it was updating, or something else. I do know that it just suddenly started working. If that doesn't work, just do everything else I probably did.

I dunno, the quote says valve doesn't consider it a defect but there's tons of RMA posts on the index subreddit. Is that the clicking issue I keep hearing about? Unless it has something to do with weird mapping, I remember my joystick would always count a clicking input in Serious Sam when I moved it all the way, but that's cause it wasn't mapped properly for index controllers

In other news I finally re-installed ReVIVE and tried out Echo Arena, and it is indeed very much the poo poo. Feels a little funny but throwing yourself around the room using your arms in zero-g like ender's game is pretty loving compelling. homeless snail posted:Someone itt said that Steam started mapping Index sticks to autoclick when you push them to the edge but idk, mine isn't mapped that way.

It feels like this is the problem maybe but I can't figure out how to turn it off. The click isn't the issue for me, mine seem to click fine but I have never even used click for anything in any game ever so I don't know why you'd even care.

HolyKrap posted:I dunno, the quote says valve doesn't consider it a defect but there's tons of RMA posts on the index subreddit. Is that the clicking issue I keep hearing about? I should have mentioned that I don't think that quote is related to his problem at all. From what I understand, a "click" is physically pressing the thumbstick in, and some early Index controllers are unable to be pushed in when tilted to the edge of it's range in any direction (or at all). My controllers don't have this issue, and the teleporting bug in SteamVR Home doesn't seem to me to be related to this at all. Like I said, I had the exact same teleporting issue, also with my right controller and not the left. It seems like some sort of binding issue where the thumbstick is rapidly taking input and returning to its base state, so even while you hold the thumbstick forward it reads as "stick pushed forward" for a split second and then "thumb stick at rest state" immediately after. That would cause you to teleport instantly if aiming somewhere at the ground you could teleport to, or fail to bring up the teleport prompt at all if aiming anywhere else. It's not an RMA level thing. Recalibrating the thumbsticks, toggling some settings, or even just rebooting the PC might fix it. Probably. I think.

Yeah that's exactly it, it seems like the inputs are being read too fast or resetting or something so it keeps thinking you're constantly letting go of the stick and pushing it back, instead of holding it. When I look at the controller in the inspection it shows perfect tracking, but I don't know if its like resetting for a single frame every so often or something that I can't see. It sounds like we have the exact same issue. I don't think its an RMA thing because the tracking looks fine and games otherwise work (although games I play dont' really use the thumbstick I guess) but it is concerning and annoying as hell.

One of my favourite games on VR so far has been I Expect You to Die...are there any more puzzle games that are somewhat similar to that on Quest? Something like old time "adventure games" ala Mist or even Zero Escape would probably be awesome with VR interaction.

Man the back half of Lone Echo is hot garbage, to the point where it's actually souring me on all the fun I had before and making me wish I hadn't bought this piece of poo poo. Didn't realize it was gonna be a "crawl through confusing death tunnels forever for reasons that don't make any damned sense" simulator. I have no idea what I'm even supposed to be doing right now, there's only one death tunnel and it seems to lead to a dead end. There's a hole that it looks like you can get out, but you can't, especially now that its clogged with corpses. So I guess this is where it ends for me, unless someone has some advice and can make some vague reassurances that it gets good and fun again.

The first act of Lone Echo is waaaaay better than the second.

I liked the death tunnels, they were spooky and just confusing enough that I got turned around a couple times without ever totally losing my bearings. As with all things VR though atmosphere can matter. I was playing in just underwear with air conditioning on full blast and it just felt so cold and alien and spooky. Loved that entire game. For what it's worth it's worth persevering in my opinion, you're close to the end and the finale is fantastic.

I literally cannot figure out what it wants me to do next. There's a tunnel with sort of a pipe running through the center, explodey bullshit everywhere, and then as far as I can tell the "exit" is a tiny little hole it's impossible to fit through. It's shortly after The computer sent me to find the survivors. Edit: Watched a video and I definitely have to go through this tiny rear end death hole, gently caress. I'm just gonna watch the end on youtube, there's like an hour of videos after this point and its not worth it to go through another hour of this.

The rest is exploring the non-overgrown (or at least less overgrown) portions of the ship. The ending is the kind of thing that will be pretty ineffective to watch but was very cool to experience. But  if you really hate it don't continue.

It doesn't last too long, while I agree the back half sucks compared to the first I think it's worth trying to finish esp. since there is a sequel coming out. Also keep in mind you can just stop (you have a brake) and take your time, you can also just use thrusters instead of having to push off.

How well does streaming pcvr games to Quest through Virtual Desktop (sideloaded) work? I got VD from the Oculus store yesterday, and somehow the visual quality looked better to me compared to the Quest Link, desktop version? Can you play most games wirelessly, or is the latency too much?

I originally doubted Boneworks previous to release pretty heavily due to how janky and undesirable full physics games have ended up being PLUS the fact that SL0s hype level gets way to high for something that is ultimately a wet fart. I don’t know if my lower expectations is a factor here but I am loving in love with Boneworks. I like that I can solve a particular BoneBox climbing challenge in like 15 different ways because the full physics removes a lot of artificial gamification constraints of “there is literally only one way to do this” by the hard and fast rules of the game engine. Last night I did an overly complex solution involving a medium box, a drum, and a really long board that you can climb. I put the box on the ground, a heavy drum behind it for balance, and then put the board on the box and leaned it up against the wall to get more height to get to an area I thought I otherwise couldn’t. It wasn’t easy and there were a lot of failures but it ultimately worked because of what it allows. This is the VR formula that narrative single player games need to follow and a real watershed moment that is not too dissimilar to something like Portal releasing for the desktop. While Portal was all about new gameplay style spin on FPS, Boneworks is like portal for your arms. The combat and poo poo is mostly in there for flavor and to build some tension, it’s good but I almost could care less because the rest of the game is great.

Bro. Boneworks is loving amazing. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/520782638 I've had more fun just trying to get through things, and goof about than ive had in anything in a long time. Similar last night, I stacked some boxes, and cheesed my way up them, to get to a platform that I was supposed to I guess make a thing go back up? IDK, The fact I don't know how it was intended to be done is fantastic. The freedom is insane. Which is great, Because Beat Saber 360 is wack and I'm gonna need something to play. XD
