2.0 Update breaking controller input
Just posting this to make more noise about it,
As I've seen from a few others, I'm using quest 2 controllers and after the update i can only interact with the steam dashboard, all the controls work fine and movement is tracking but they are essentially useless when exiting the dash

Kind of absurd that we can't get a major update rollback.

Update:
Did a little more digging and checked in with some friends, people using link cable and virtual desktop said it was working fine so..

I re-downloaded SteamVR, repaired Oculus software because I was using an altered file to remove to oculus dash and go straight to SteamVR and updated my quest itself and it seems to be working again, haven't tried using said altered file again but my best guess is something in the oculus dash is now required to work properly

Still would like major update rollbacks though, PLEASE

I am trying my best to figure this issue out, and yea SteamVR 1.x and using OculusKiller worked perfectly, No issues, but with SteamVR Beta 2.x you can do everything on the menu screen and so on, but if you launch a game, as soon as the game launches the only button that works and the one to get back to steamVR Menu everything else Nothing.

and I dont get it. I will have to Run Oculus Debug Console and see what transpires between
SteamVR 1.x and 2.x ... Just a big headache really.. I even redid the OculusKiller to add in more Logging of Processes and so on.. but cant find anything.. also I checked the SteamVR Debug Report.. but as I said, the Main SteamVR Menu is working perfect with no issues, the issues as everything as pointed out is once you launch a game then the controller buttons dont work.. and I have tried OpenXR steams and Oculus and no go. Unless its SteamVR v1.x,

But yea I am trying to track down the issues.. Would be helpful if anyone that is using the OculusKiller to open the OculusDebugTool and then click open Console, which will restart the Oculus Runtimes, then try and go into SteamVR with and without the OculusKiller and save each log and send them my way.. it would help..

Yes, I am the One that Revamped the Oculus VR Dash Manager and OculusKIller.
Not original Author, but one that took it into my own hands to Update it.. Now I just need to fix this issue.

How do you do that?

Manage properties on SteamVR and go to betas, select 1.15, says something about oculus/win7/win8

Id like to report that valve basically said too bad so sad after viewing my system logs. They will not be fixing this issue. I use oculus killer as well

It appears who ever runs the current oculuskiller git has abandoned it. When i asked them if this software is officially abandonware they simply said it was “odd that its not working”. If you have the knowhow and ability to fix it many of us would be extremely grateful.

doesn't seem like you can pick Beta versions anymore.
just

None
beta - SteamVR Beta Update
linux_v1.14 - Older build, for Linux users
macos_beta - SteamVR Beta Update (macOS)
macos_default - Public default branch (macOS)
oculus_win7and8 - v1.15.12 of SteamVR which allowed older Oculus software

Anyone know how else to revert to an older beta?

Having the same issue, If we cant change back to the older version I think our only option is to remove OculusKiller
