Vehicles are still broken?

[Professional Nerd]

So uhm, vehicles still do not work for me... It's patch #2 and this still hasn't been fixed so now I'm wondering if I'm the only one with this problem. When I sit down in a vehicle (especially the minecart) I MUST remain in the exact same position as when I entered the vehicle, otherwise, my POV will become that of a very happy inflatable man as it will fly all over the place. I am lucky that I have grown good VR legs otherwise this would have made me throw up. Simply leaning forwards, backward, left, right or crouching (irl) already triggers this. For me vehicles absolutely suck because of this issue. Does anybody else have this?

You DONT have to sit down in the mine cart, in fact, you don't have to get in the mine cart at all.. At least b4 the current patch's. You just need the cart to open the mine door..

That's staying my secret,it's repeatable by any 1, and requires no mods cheats etc.

Yes every 1 has that issue, it is really annoying, i havent played in a while, but i doubt they got round to fixing the vehicles yet.

I know that you can force the door open (even without a minecart) but that's not the point. The point of my post is that the vehicles really need fixing, not that I cannot get past MineDive :P

That definitely seems like some kind of issue on your end - maybe it's your hardware. I don't have any POV issues like what you described just from leaning slightly or looking around while in a go-kart for instance (found out the other day that leaning while steering with the go-kart makes your turns tighter, which is neat). For context, I'm on PC with an HP Reverb G2, using SteamVR of course. Also, doesn't seem to matter if I'm standing or sitting IRL first before sitting in-game into a vehicle - POV still seems fine.

I read other people have the same issue so I doubt it’s on my end. My hardware is all OK, beefy computer, Valve Index, SteamVR. However if you have any ideas as to what on my end could cause this I would be happy to hear. Because this is something I would love having fixed.

True but finishing them by walking sucks lol. It should just work as intended

Did you do some experiments?
Is sitting virtually in the vehicle while standing possible?
Can you sit down for real next to the vehicle?
Did you tried other avatars?

My first guess would be tracking problems with your Index base station while you are seated.

Just throwing this out there, but yes - standing IRL before virtually crouching to sit in a vehicle should work just fine. I think trying to sit IRL after getting in vehicle can cause problems though.

A couple of my friends who use the Index never mentioned any kind of issues regarding vehicles like what you're describing. Assuming you have your player height and everything set correctly in Bonelab, I can only guess that it could be something to do with the Index tracking or base stations, cause I doubt it would have anything to do with your PC components. Can you record a video of the issue you're having? I could try asking my Index friends if they ever had to troubleshoot something similar, or if they know anyone else who might've had this problem.

I should have clarified that I have indeed tried all these things. Yes to everything you said.
I have to give an update though and that is that the Gokarts are mostly fine now? Idk what happened but they don't give the same results as the Minecarts anymore, only some slight issues. The minecart still sucks though.

My basestations track perfectly so I doubt that they're the issue. I could send a video though, if you want.

Yeah I've noticed this too. Sitting while using vehicles makes the game freak out. You can stand, but that's just weird.
