can't pick locks

[GENxAiradose]

I have a samsung oddesy and since 1.4 I have been unable to pick locks. Both of the touch pads and both of the sticks are moveing the lockpick and of course that means the right stick moves the screwdriver as well with brakes the lock pick. This is a game brakeing bug for me help.

I know there is a way to assign VR controls in the menu. I'm pretty sure you can assign you lock picking this way.

The problem is the game itself. Its a well known fact Bethesda didn't bother sinking much money in this because only the biggest fanyboys would buy. Don't expect Bethesda to fix this. The best thing for you to do is get a refund or cop it.

refund for me is not an option since I have had the game for some time now, but Im hold out hope that the modding community will at least find a fix if bethesda will not. That being said with E3 right around the corner not I dont expect them to help right now thay have a majer game comming out and from a bussnes stand point that would be my focus as well. However I am no apolagist I have a lot of space games and will not buy it enless they clean up there act and release games less broken.

Are you in the SteamVR beta? There's a new option to bind controls to the thumbsticks. However the default binds the right thumbstick to do trackpad controls.

You can either edit the control profile for SkyrimVR by changing the right thumbstick to "Right Trackpad 2"

Or opt out of SteamVR beta and wait for a proper guide to be made @.@

tldr: Steam VR beta issues with Windows Mixed Reality headsets, not a Skyrim only issue

this is the wrong place for your rant. Also I think people need to look at the specs more before they just buy VR games. You can't just buy a game that twa made for the Occulous or the Vive VIRTURAL REALITY head set and expect it to work on your $200 windows mixed reality headset.

Number one at no time was any thing I said ranting, number two you clearly now nothing of the wmr hmd, number three there is a way to play all vr game no matter what hmd it was made for and with thw wmr hmd's it is eaven better. In my case it came down to a little program called wmr_vrclient that properly maps the touchpad to the anelog sticks. However In Skyrim I have now noticed as I said before the lockpicking controls are mapped with lockpick movement on both the left and the right touchpad. So with the wmr_vrclient installed it puts the lockpick and the nife on the right stick, and yes it will most likely not happen but why is there no way to remap my controls?

The lock picking worked great on WMR until the update. You would think this could be fixed easy. The game is awesome, but you can't pick any locks now. It only effects the left stick (pick), the right stick will still attempt to rotate the lock.

[Oh Heck]

Hmm..I'm not having any problems with my Odyssey Plus picking locks. What update are you refering to anyways? Hasn't been one for some time.

I'm also on a G2. I never got the lockpicking to work. In the end I just used Inigo (or you can use another follower of your choosing of course) to pick locks. Not exactly a solution but a workaround of sorts.

Using the HP Reverb G2 controllers to play Skyrim VR, I was also stuck on lock picking until recently.

When picking a lock with both thumb sticks, I have always started with the left one for the lockpick to find the right position, then the right one to turn the lock. But moving the right thumbstick to either side always has reset the position of the lock pick to that side, instead of keeping the orientation, which broke my lockpicks instantly in most situations.

As I found out after countless broken lockpicks, it is important to move the right thumb stick exactly into the same direction as the left one in order to keep the orientation of the lock pick. This way, it is possible to try out diffrerent orientations as expected.

Example: Imagine the lock as a clock face, with 12 o'clock pointing up. The movement of the lockpick is alwys limited between 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock. Now if you turn your left thumbstick to 10:30 because the lock sound is the most appealing one there, to try this position you have to move the right thumbstick to 10:30 as well. If you chose the correct position, the lock will now turn as expected and give away whatever secrets you may find.

If my description helps any of my fellow G2 users out there to pick locks successfully, I would be more than happy. To me, not being able to pick locks was really spoiling the fun for an otherwise perfect combination of high-resolution glasses and an incredibly immersive (modded) game.

Thank you, I was looking for lockpicking solutions for my HP Reverb G2 and I can confirm your method works, but it is still finicky and can still be very frustrating to work. I have found a permanent solution that can get the lockpick to work as intended:

1. Press the '3 lines' button to go into settings.
2. Go to 'controllers', then 'edit this bindings'.
3. For the right controller, scroll down to 'Joystick'. It will contain a section with "right second trackpad/thumbstick value". Delete that section.
4. For the other section that contains "right trackpad/ thumbstick value". Change that entry to "right second trackpad/thumbstick value". Click on the tick button to save.
5. You can now back out of the setting menu and enjoy the game!
