Is there going to be support for ".NET 4.x Equivalent" ? Currently it breaks the controller rendering. Removing the model details (vive logo, button textures etc)

I posted a bug report and workaround for this in the OpenVR GitHub. I’m on mobile right now so I can’t look it up and post the link - but it’s just a type being used that behaves differently on .NET 4.x, resulting in the textures appearing all black (so using “black” and/or “textures” and/or “RenderModels” in the issue search should give you that issue). I’ll post a link when back on a real computer ;-)

Im still using this older version to do the complexity of the new Steam VR input system.

Im having issues lately with the NoSteamVRFallBack objects camera not working anymore inside the Unity Editor. It is working when I do builds so something is strange with the editor. Ive tested multiple projects and get the same issue. Im using Unity 2018.2.14f1 btw.

Does anyone know how I can fix this so I can test my project without having to make and run the build everytime?

This is a deprecated version of the plugin, we recommend using SteamVR Unity Plugin Version 2.2. And discussion on this topic is being moved to the SteamVR Developer Forums here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/7/
