Video Walkthrough

Generic Issues

How do I disable haptics

You'll need to go through every binding on your controller and set "Haptic Amplitude" to 0. To remove menu hover haptics you can set Left/Rigth Hand Haptic to unused in the Global tab.

I can't toggle pickup on items

If you add another functionality to a button that has "Drop" It will break Auto Hold.
(Or you're missing the drop binding all together)

I have to press trigger a lot more to do things

The required pull amount can be changed by adjusting the Click Activation Threshold and Click Deactivation Threshold on your bindings for each "button" function on the trigger.

I can't pose physbones/I keep dropping physbones

This is because Physbone pose was assigned the `interact` binding on Vive. When physbone pose is called, the physbone is posed and you stop holding it. If a physbone doesn't have posing enabled you'll just drop it.

I can't do gestures at all

Gestures were set to disabled coming into this update, you need to enable them. You can find the toggle in the radial/action menu under Options -> Avatar -> Gestures. This could also be because you're missing bindings to begin with.

My hands look wrong / Disabling finger tracking

1. Navigate to the large menu -> Controls -> and set `Avatars Use Finger Tracking` to off
   
2. Make sure gestures are enabled (above FAQ)
   
3. Try enabling legacy finger tracking. You can find this in Actiion menu -> Expressions -> Options

I've tried everything, my binding changes don't apply

Try deleting all the SteamVR Binding files for VRChat

1. Head to (your username)\Documents\steamvr\input
   
2. Delete the steam.app.438100_controllerType.json files
   
3. Start or restart VRChat
   
4. Try assigning default bindings again.

Vive Issues

No touch to move / Sticky emotes / Advanced controls

The default steamVR binding for VRChat uses what I like to call "Simple Vive," which has that sticky gesture behavior. Find the binding UI and switch from the default to Advanced.

Grip isn't doing hand open / Isn't clearing my gestures

This is a bug with the default Advanced Bindings controls scheme, you'll need to add Gesture_wheel_cancel_open_left/right to your grips as a button.

Can't move/turn at full speed

The default thresholds for movement on Vive controllers require you to hit the very edges of the touchpad. You can change the deadzones to make hitting max speed very easy or even eliminate analog all together.

Accidentally jumping while turning

You can adjust the Overlap percentage & deadzone of the right dpad binding to make the jump action harder to hit.

Feedback forums

There's some straggling issues with bindings that can't be fixed with binding changes alone. If you run into any of them please upvote a related canny or make a new one.

They wanted to migrate to input 2.0 for various reasons so a lot of systems had to be created from the ground up again. Games can't have both the old and new input systems at the same time unfortunately so they had to gut it in favor of long term improvements. (Such as finger tracking and giving us much more control customization)

[FlatChestEnthusiast]

Why on earth they made this a mandatory bindings reset and not an optional choice on launch I will never know, thanks for this now I can un-fuck what was perfectly fine before

[Zenith]

@genshadow Advanced controls will only be there for Vive Controllers if you start VRChat at least once on the new version. If all else fails, try the "I've tried everything" section.
