No left handed support in VR?

[erikisoz]

They added left handedness in regular first person and third person modes, but there's no such option for VR? I've been waiting to play this in VR for over 3 years now. I'm so confused about this wtf

[Yayau]

Was wondering why as well.

That might of been an oversight or just something they did not finish coding as they put the effort to adding normal part of the game and honestly I assumed that was for VR.. I would recommend putting a ticket in.

I've put about ten tickets in over the years... I guess it wouldn't hurt to do it again

They might not always lock them or mark them finished, but they do see them. Let's hope they act on it :)

I saw the update and announcement that this was supporting PSVR2, and thought this would be a good reason to finally include left-handed support.

Their patch notes mention "quality of life and accessibility improvements", and then mention "When playing with a controller tracked in each hand, the Personal Forcefield will move attached to your non-dominant hand, allowing you to reflexively and intuitively deflect enemy fire."

I figured they must have added left-handed support, only to find this is still being brought up?

I guess they just presume your dominant hand to be the right one. As opposed to the wrong one.
In all seriousness, I think that part of the patch log is only relevant for non-VR, as that has actual handedness options now.

[syberspider]

No, it's specifically referring to the 'Virtual Reality Overhaul':

VIRTUAL REALITY OVERHAUL
The experience of playing in VR has been improved across the board.

When playing with a controller tracked in each hand, the Personal Forcefield will move attached to your non-dominant hand, allowing you to reflexively and intuitively deflect enemy fire.

It then shows a gif with a player holding a shield in their left hand.

One of my friends straight up refunded the game when they found out there was no left-handed mode.
Was dealing with crash issues and everything too. "The crashing I can handle..."

I'm left-handed ..., I can't play in the native tinctures of No Mans Sky control, the brain bursts ((( Is it possible to change hands to walk with the right stick, and turn and hold the pistol with the left? Brothers, please tell me who to write to to explain to me why there is no opportunity for left-handed people to play in the game?(

You'll be waiting for that answer for a while. I've wrote them multiple times over the years. They're aware of the problem, nothing is being done

First up, you don't do these requests on that link, you do it via Zendesk:

But yes. I cannot find any left-handedness option for VR either, only in flatscreen mode. While I am right-handed, I know there are lefties as VR players out there and it's a shame that this wasn't added. Inverting the controls and remapping buttons is something they already know how to do, so it eludes me why this wasn't added.
