Hydra's only work in SteamVR overlay

[Harold_Boom]

Hi all,

I need help with my hydras. I cant get them to work in anything but the overlay menu that appears when you press the Start button (the button at the bottom the of numbered buttons).

The Hydras work perfectly in that menu, I can go into different settings etc but in the main SteamVR window and any games (such as Beat Sabre) I cant interact with any of the selections. My right controller has the laser coming out of it but no buttons work.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I have the latest beta driver and developer options in SteamVR enabled. Input debugging looks like the controllers are fine.

Thanks

The only thing that I notice is that on all the games that dont work and the SteamVR home the controllers are shown as an Oculus Touch controller

It loads the legacy bindings for all the games I have and it doesn't matter what I change the bindings to, nothing registers

Hi
I wanted create the same topic about this bug in Beat Saber, but I see that not only me has a problem with it (・へ・)
I have the same problem that I see only the laser from the right controller and 0 reaction, but in all other games the controllers are working properly.

The only solution that works for me is for the time of playing BS return to the normal version of the hydra drivers and download SteamVR in "openvr-inputemulator-temporary" and everything works for me in this game correctly with steam overlay.
(I use BETA drivers for hydra only to assign other keys to VRChat where it works great :D).

Yeah I worked out the same thing, have to keep swappign between versions

Weird. Can you guys point me to a free game that has this problem, so I can experiment with it?

[BlackReven]

I don't know any other game where such a strange problem would occur :/

I know that this is very bad, but you can always temporarily "borrow" this game from igg-games of course, for a better future for all of us! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ﾉ⌐■-■

Sorry to necro, but found a temporary solution for certain titles. If you plug in an Xbox controller, the controller triggers are interpreted as Vive Controller triggers. This is really only practical for games like Beat Saber specifically, where you only have to use controller buttons infrequently, but Beat Saber now works for me after months of frustration, so I though I would share.

Hi everyone, i'm the same problem with my Razer Hydra, in the menu of Steam, i see the controllers, but when to play a game, i don't see more, please help me.

First of all you need to make correct controls in Steam VR control option. In most games not all actions are bound to the controller by default (because Steam don't have default Hydra settings for this tiles). You should bind them manually in such a way that none of the required actions remain detached. After this action Steam VR allow you to save config. After you saved config Hydra should start to work. Also in some games you need activate profile each time you start Steam VR.

There's a new problem, the 1.9 version of the steamVR has changed a lot, and it seems we can't bind the buttons anymore ='[... is there a way to downgrade steamvr to 1.8 or use a program to disable the rift compatibility?
