Job Sim is adjusting Height scale
Hey Devs i've been playing around with your fun game for a while and i've noticed that after im done and go back to the Vive space the floor is about 20cm higher. ( the controllers go through the grid).
If i go back into the game and quit it will decrease the floor height again, and again and again.
However the oppiste occurs very noticible if the headset loses tracking while in-game. I basically turned into a giant and when exiting the game back to the Vive space the floor grid was about 3meter below me.
I think it might have something to do with how you scale the play area in the game.

Hi there! Is this happening in all of your Vive games, or just Job Simulator?

Its just your game im afraid.
Im able to play any other SteamVR game, exit / restart / come back a day later, and the play area is unaffected.
If i run Job Sim and exit, the height has been adjusted only slightly but its enough to be noticed as the controlers will go through the floor in the Vive space (As well as other games)
If i lose tracking in game (screen goes blank) then what ever angle the headset is at when tracking is re-aquired that angle is the new horizonal plane in the game. (Example if my head is tilted 5deg down to the right and the headset tracks again. That 5degs becomes the games 0deg level.
This tracking loss gltich only affects your game. If i exit the game the tilt is gone and the Vive space and other games are normal. If i reenter Job Sim the tilt is back. I must re-run the room setup (on Vive) to fix this issue, Its a very strange issue.

Could you first double-check that your SteamVR firmware is up to date, as well as all graphics drivers? Then try uninstalling SteamVR and reinstalling it.

If you're still getting the error, please send your output log to owlchemysupport (at) google <dot> com! If you installed Job Simulator to the default location, that log will be located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Job Simulator\JobSimulator_Data\output_log.txt

Thanks!!

If you're appearing taller than what seems normal, you may need to recalibrate Room-Scale Setup! With Vive, sometimes Lighthouses can be moved accidentally (on a tripod, or tugging the cord if mounted in your wall. And with an Oculus Rift, bumping the Oculus Cameras will mess up tracking.

Let us know if configuring Room-Scale setup again helps-- note that if you're using a Rift, you need to setup again in both SteamVR AND Oculus Home.
