Disable the blocking of addons

[JollySwagMan]

VR is finnicky at times. When I'm trying to find the right resolution and it crashes, steamvr likes to block all the addons.

This is the opposite of helping. I understand WHY it's there, but I don't want it enabled. Please give us an option to disable it so that I don't have to open steamvr, reenable the addons, then restart steamvr.

You mean game Expansions? Trow a screenshot.

This is about SteamVR addons like the gamepad support, they do toggle off because something broke SteamVR and I assume it's a safety mechanism to not get into an infinite loop of crashing.

That said I've also bumped into this when I had a hardware issue that caused SteamVR to crash, which then also toggled off software features causing confusion, so I can see why this is a feature request but I don't think it'll change due to the aforementioned reason.

I understand this. Perhaps they could give us an option instead to reactivate the addons BEFORE steamvr initializes. Like opening a window saying "hey we deactivated these, want us to undo that before we start?"

An instant crash would honestly be preferable. "Oh, this crashed? play the world's worst QTE via mouse and restart steamVR 🤡" only makes it less pleasant.

should really have an option to turn it off, BUT make it revert back to default on restart so you dont get into an infitinite crash

I have the same issue. It works perfectly, but I got one crash and then boom IT WON'T START AGAIN since SteamVR is blocking the Add-Ons even before they initialize.
