DLC ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS Aug 31st

[Indimo]

NOTE: These are now fixed in the latest update as of Aug 31st:

I'm working on fixes for the following issues:

1) If you complete a Path, grab the newly constructed item and then quit the game without following the Spirit Guide to the next gate, the game can fail to save the newly acquired item in your inventory. The only way around this is to replay from the previous checkpoint, complete the Path and then at least play until you get through the next gate.

2) Some players are having trouble in the base game and DLC with accidentally dropping items while using the index controller.

These will be fixed in the next "hotfix" update.

Please let me know if you find additional critical issues!

I am having trouble with the room where there are planks on the ground, I can pick them up, but I am unable to put them back down. I am playing with Index controllers.

I played last night through chapters 1-2 and continued to chapter 3, got a few rooms in and got stuck because I could not put the planks down. I ended up with one in each hand, forced myself to die, and respawned with 2 boards again. I haven't tried again since last night.

Hi BBB, first thing to try is squeeze grip on the index controller, wait for a 'blip' sound, then release the grip. Like on the Vive controller, the blip indicates that when you release the grip, the item will drop. If that doesn't work, you'll want to go to the SteamVR app and find something about Configuring controllers. Make sure the controller config is set to the default, or the Official Vanishing Realms/Indimo Labs config. Hope this helps!

Ok I will give this a try. I was getting the sound I believe but it was late and I could have just been having a brain fart. I’ll let you know if I still have trouble. Thanks for the reply. And great work. Truly a fan. 😊

Just teleport onto the ladder.

Playing dlc and finished one dungeon, no mayor problem except with a index controls. I drop things too easily and teleport is very sensitive. Also i turn off auto pause but when i restart its always on

[Major_Troubles]

I've had the same issue of dropping too easily. I think there are custom bindings for index available online mentioned here on the forum.

Iirc the auto pause can be turned off reliably upon startup, before loading a game.

POTENTIAL SPOILERS!
Hello, just wanted to mention this bug I found

I just reached the stone oracle, picked up the book and put it in my inventory
after that I did NOT click on begin path, instead, I just closed the game
When I came back into the game, I was in a desert area with a door locked behind me, very strange.
I played through and realised I was in the area that gives you the 4th ancient piece
After finishing it and getting out, I was in the area right outside the locked door I was behind of
Finally, had to make my way backwards towards where we initially get the book

After clicking on begin path, everything was normal, just unfortunate I was skipped all the way there due to not clicking on begin path (I assume)

When trying to drop a board, I squeeze the grip, hear the blip sound, release, nothing. I can't detach it. Can't throw it. Can't progress. My controls have the Indimo config applied.

Edit: tried all the bindings available, none worked. I can throw rocks, but I cannot drop them. I hear the blip very distinctly, but letting go of the controller (grip and trigger) doesn't do anything.

Suggestion: why not just release the trigger to drop stuff? (Since we are not using grip to hold stuff, it seems unintuitive to grip and release to drop)

Which controllers are you using? Index?

[AKBear]

I'm on the oculus rift cv1 trying to get past the room with the two arrow towers and planks on the floor. I know I need to pickup the planks but I am unable to reach them. The floor distance keeps moving away from me.

I'm stuck in this room also because I can't drop the planks.

Yes Index controllers.

I can drop stuff with the Index controllers (too) easily at default settings.
Have you tried keeping your index finger completely off the controller? My guess is you are dropping it and picking it right back up again.

If that doesn't help, you can try using OpenVR advanced settings to get across gaps as a work around. Even though that's not overly elegant, it's better than nothing.

Hi, does anyone know how to access the DLC. I've played through a few times but all of my saves are missing...which is OK as I just played through quickly. However, I never bought the wand and now I'm stuck at the end after lighting the 3 braziers, but can't open the dragon chest.

I'm very interested in playing the dlc, but really can't force myself for yet another playthrough just because I didn't pickup the wand (it's a neat weapon but the cost of using it makes it worthless imo).

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks!
