Hand position in-game doesn't match controller/real hand position

[Codeon]

Since the 2.1 update that introduced the ability to change in-game arm length to match real arm length I've noticed that using HTC Vive (Cosmos) controllers my real hands are now approximately where my in-game wrists are (previously they matched up more-or-less correctly). Changing the arm length does not affect this. I was having a little difficulty grabbing things like my holstered pistol or mags without looking, but now it's downright impossible when my in-game hands are about 5 cm further away from where my mind's eye perceives them.

Is anybody else having this issue? Is it time for me to delete saves and start anew?

Looks very wrong but mostly playable for me

For me the hands tend to hover at around the hoops of my Vive Wands, and I believe they've been doing that for a while, but only sometimes, I think. Wish there was an option to recalibrate hand position or something.

Yeah actually now that you mention it's probably around the hoop for me, too. As a programmer myself, I suspect they have accidentally broken previous configuration for where hands ought to be relative to controllers when they introduced arm-length variation.

Yeah, not unplayable but I'm playing on ironman so any mistakes (not reliably grabbing a weapon / cocking / reloading) are costly and very frustrating...

Additional information: When holding a firearm the hand position becomes correct. Hands-free the hand appears about where the 'ring' of the vive wand is (as described by Liero) but once a pistol is picked up the hand position matches the real-world position. Free off-hand still is incorrect.

1. You're also a Vive user?
2. Consider not using <3 language in your future posts, please.

BUMP any progress on this?

BUMP issue still exists.

I have a similar issue. I have an HTC Vive. To aim a weapon, stab, or use a flashlight in front of me, I have to tilt my hand much lower than it should be. The in-game settings improved the situation a little, but did not completely fix it. Due to the excessive tilt of the hand, it becomes difficult to use the touchpads for walking or rotating...

Welp from the looks of it the devs aint fixing nuthing, any mod out there than can fix it? id do it myself but idk how to :(

It's probably some values in an XML config file, somewhere. I'm not familiar enough with UE4 engine (pretty sure that's what this game was made in) to be able to easily find it. Honestly, I've just learned to live with it, as it's only really off when not gripping anything.

I do find it funny that the one response we got from the dev was when they came to chastise someone who used asterisked language... At least VRJoJoFan showed some passion.

I've been saving my review for this game for quite a while, now (since the v1/alpha days). Perhaps it's time I got some attention with that. Honestly, this issue isn't even in the top 3 of my gripes with this game (despite the fact that I do ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love this game).

Ive been trying myself to mod the game, but to no avail. Ive asked other people to help me out and or to just request a mod cause i know DAMN well the devs arent fixing this. I just want to play the game normally, its so jarring with ur hands being a few inches above your hands. Someone needs to do SOMETHING.
