HTC VIVE Controller input not detecting?

Okay so i watch the tutorial, launch the game in the htc vive. I see the 5089 menu, right? I see my controllers positional tracking working perfectly...

But.

When i use the mousepad to move around the mouse (or i think thats what its supposed to do) It does nothing. When im in the game "map" choosing a starting point, pressing the grip buttons to move past the tutorial doesnt work. Only using my keyboard and mouse works. I have tried everything, and im resorting to you guys to help me with my problem...

To sum it up. The game isnt detecting my controller input.

PS: Its not the controllers. I can play other games just fine with it detecting my HTC vive controller button presses.

I've been trying to think of explanations for this, but have also been coming up empty. This is the first I've heard of such issue...

It looks like you already refunded the game, but I would have asked/suggested:

Are you running the latest SteamVR beta?

Did this happen consistently (e.g. after a reboot)?

Did positional input events, like putting the controller on the floor or above your head work during the game?

Are you running the latest SteamVR beta?

I assume so, since i do not have an update for SteamVR in my Queue, or when i launch it, it does not prompt me to update.

Did this happen consistently (e.g. after a reboot)?

Yes. I rebooted the game about.. three? Ish times. All three for different reasons (to watch jacksepticeye or some stuff XD) but yes, its still happened after i rebooted.

Did positional input events, like putting the controller on the floor or above your head work during the game?

Yes. I used my keyboard and mouse to actually get into the game, and when i put the controllers on the floor, it did indeed pause the game like normal.

As for the refund, I still am interested in the game 100%. I just thought that i would wait a little bit longer to play the game (But sadly my money stays pening.. so i might end up purchacing it again because the other game i wanted, i could only afford in the steam sale.)

The SteamVR beta is something you need to "opt-in" to. Right click SteamVR -> Properties -> Betas & select "beta".

When you launch 5089 with the Vive & the controller input doesn't work, can you send me the runlog.txt file? It will get created in the 5089's local folder. You can paste it to pastebin.org & link. I'm not sure if anything will be useful in it, since this is such an odd problem... but it is worth a shot.

I'm also experiencing this issue.

me too, i think. I am playing in VR with a steam controller. For the life of me i cant get the joystick to work to move around. I can use wasd keys fine but this is kind of hard in VR :)
