Im using vr and my xbox one controller stops responding

You have an active window with the game?
Did you turn on the pad before turning on the oculus software?

So just to confirm, controller works in Steam menus, then you start the game, and it isn't bound correctly? Can you modify controls in Subnatica to switch to your controller? There is an option to "disable controller", so that's worth checking. Do other controls work?

I've heard that having other controllers/keyboards plugged in can freak Subnautica out, so disconnecting any of those would be good.

I also found somebody on Reddit recommending launching Subnautica VR from the desktop AFTER SteamVR, and clicking into the Subnautica window that pops up.

Idk what the issue is, the games claims full controller support and is out on consoles, yet every time I go to play the game it's something new. Analog sticks and/or triggers are reversed, can't look up and down with right stick, or it just doesn't work at all. I've tried to start this game 3 or 4 times in the past year and have quit every time after troubleshooting the controller for like 45 minutes. If you're still able I'd get a refund.

I used to be able to play it in VR with an xbox one controller, but now whenever I play it, I get about 10 minutes of gameplay before the controller just stops working.

I'll just play other VR games instead.

Make sure you have an active window with the game, and that the batteries are in good condition.

But of course, playing Subnautica is not mandatory

If you or anyone reading this still needs help, I created a new topic with a solution, titled "DualShock 4 / DualSense controller fix"

I realize you're using an Xbox controller, but this may work for you. The main thing is that you don't want Steam to connect to your controller, and the only way I've found to prevent that is by running another program for your controller to connect to.
