Why can't I turn ?????

[heathenlamb]

Why can I move in every direction but not turn around ? ... It simply ruins the game. It is great fun but you need to implement the ability to turn around IMMEDIATELY !

[heathenlamb]

Can we also get a movement speed bump. Considering the fights are so fast and frantic seems counterproductive to walk around so slow ... but first and foremost ... please ... the ability to turn. I play on one side of a room so I HAVE to be able yo turn around in game , otherwise my back is to everyone. I have to walk backwards into the bar ... thanks 😊

Hey heathenlamb, What system are you playing on? Are you using Rift with two sensors?
What do you mean, your back is to everyone? What store did you purchase the game?

[heathenlamb]

Im on Vive ... I bought it on Steam. As I said due to limited room to move I have to play on one side of a room ... so I can't turn around physically to punch ... so I need to be able to turn around with the game control .. to be honest I am a little surprised I can't. Literally every VR game I have let's me turn with in game controls except this one. When the game starts I am facing away from the bar. Since I can't punch if i turn to face my wall in real life I have to be able to turn with controls.

Please let me know if I have this right. You are setup in a small space. You can punch in one direction but you can't punch in the other. So, although your system is capable of room-space, you are currently limited to facing one way and..... it is the exact opposite what you need to face to play the game.
We can add turing to the game. We added it to the PSVR version of the game. You aren't the first person to ask for it for the PC version, some Rift players also would like to have turing.
Regarding "facing away"..... When you did the setup for SteamVR and it asked you to point towards the PC did you do it? Is your PC in the opposite direction from where you want to face?
What controls would you prefer to turn?

[heathenlamb]

Yes you have it exactly right ... And yep when I setup Steam VR I did point towars my pc. As I said ... this is only game I have this issue with ... but admittedly every other game gives me the ability to turn. If you could add turning I would be extremely grateful .. as it stands its very difficult for me to play. You could put it on the opposite control pad. Im not a huge fan of "snap" turning though. I prefer it to be smooth.

Is "toward PC" the right direction to punch or the wrong direction to punch? We will add turning but a temporary fix would be for you to run setup again and point away from your PC which should set the direction you want as forward.

[heathenlamb]

Yep I could do that but it ruins the default starting point for every other game. But thank you for taking my request on board :)

Many of the VR games I've played default your perspective away from the PC (configured during room setup). Titles like Gorn, Beat Saber and Job Simulator do this already, to avoid any accidental collisions with your monitor. Having the game default towards your monitor has been frustrating, as my Vive headset cables that are normally behind me in other games are in front of me in Drunkn Bar Fight.

An ability to rotate your character would be appreciated, though simply reversing the default direction to the de-facto standard "away from your monitor / PC" would be a simple fix.

Waysenzo..... VERY good point.... I will fix this in the next release.

[Garrus]

Thats awesome! I've really worried about punching my monitor but thankfully that hasn't happened yet.

[heathenlamb]

When are we going to get turning ... I literally can not play this game at all at the moment because I can't turn around ??????

[keith.munky]

We are still working on our new level: ally. We still have quite a bit of work to do. I am sorry you are unable to play. If you refund now, we can let you know when the new level comes out.

[heathenlamb]

I don't care about the refund. Just want a control to turn around. Hopefully soon.

[grove]

i need the damn face forward setup. Add the damn stick turnings.

[keith.munky]

Both turning and orientation feature are complete and in QA now. We are trying to get an update out next week. I think it is likely. Sorry for the delay guys. If you want access to a Beta version so you can confirm you like the new features, please write me at [e-mail] and I will give you access.
