VR Issues/Controls

[Homan the Deportarian]

Why is the game advertised as best with mouse and keyboard and VR compatible, yet mouse and keyboard controls are disabled when playing in VR? It's a great game but playing with a controller is pretty terrible.

Also, is there a way to get it to show up properly in my default seated position like other seated VR games? Neither resetting my seated position in steam VR nor using the reorient button in game work.

I'm having some control issues as well. I just picked this up last night, and was fine using mouse and keyboard controls, but the mouse control is kind of difficult to use. The pitch and yaw movement ranges from too slow, too suddenly way too fast. I'm having a hard time getting a feel for it or adjusting the settings to be more easily controlled.

Going to try again tonight.

M/KB feels smooth as silk and super easy to control for me. Mess with your mouse sensitivity and make sure it's set to system cursor.

Thanks, I'll try that. Might actually be the sensitivity setting on my mouse itself. It has sensitivity adjustment switches on it that may be causing it.

Okay I fixed the mouse issue, but now having a whole mess of other issues and honestly a step away from refunding and then may come back to it later if the bugs get worked out.

First of all opening menu is all wonky and not where it should be, even after hitting F8 it's still not right. If I start then hit escape to menu then it's where it should be.

If I hit the mouse button while the menu is up, the game freezes and I have to close out.

Biggest issue though for me right now is a Windows 10 problem where I can't get my freaking toolbar at the bottom of the screen to disappear when this game is running. I've changed the settings and told the bar to hide, but when using my mouse in game when going down it activates the toolbar, then I click the fire button in game, but in the toolbar I'm really clicking one of my shortcut programs then boom! Next thing you know I've lost all game control because it's switched to another program.

Just too many issues at the moment it seems. Spent 45-50 minutes just trying to get things to work and play the game for more than just 30-40 seconds at a time before something goes haywire.

As of now, Everspace does not support Mouse input in VR mode. We recommend using an XBox Controller or any other xInput gamepad. We're currently upgrading to a newer Unreal Engine version that will allow us to implement decent mouse controls for VR.

Glad to hear mouse input is being worked on for VR. I've tried it with a steam controller/XBox controller and the experience is terrible compared to m/kb.

I'll buy this when there is kb/m support in VR :) I don't need to see my keyboard.

[craigh95630]

Hmmm...bummer. I don't do Xbox controllers.

Will just have to refund for now I'm afraid then circle back later on down the road when it does get supported and possibly repurchase then.
