5.8.3
Features
- Battery Tracker overlay control - ability in utility tab to now disable the overlay for batteries on trackers if you don't want it.
- Desktop Mode Improvements
- Steam launch option on steam there should be an option to launch into desktop mode (this is just the launch parameter) --desktop-mode
- Always launch as Desktop Mode in settings tab you will now have a checkbox to always launch as desktop mode, if the screen is blank I would recommend this as an option as it is fully functional now, just will not be in the SteamVR dashboard.
- Bindings Tab on Desktop this will now open your default browser to the SteamVR binding interface, it varies slightly from overlay version as you will have to navigate to OVRAS instead of being dropped directly on the screen.
- Added F13-F19 as Keyboard Options via "G3-G9"
- No HMD Toggle in SteamVR tab added toggle to change steamvr setting to not require an HMD
- Power Button launches SteamVR in SteamVR tab added toggle to change steamvr setting on whether or not controller button will turn on steamVR
Bug Fixes
- Space Drag Changes - Removed some checks to fix an issue where users could not drag out of the box. This fix should mainly effect non Lighthouse users.
- initialization Changes - Will now retry SteamVR initialization if it does not work - this may not work 100% as intended and is something to watch, this may fix some of the automatic crashing users were having.
Misc
- Removed old-style motion This was mostly a legacy feature, and with testing I don't think this feature is required any longer
- Removed adjust chaperone This Feature is no longer required due to recent-ish changes to chaperone behavior from Valve
- Made Some Minor Changes to Space Drag code to optimize it slightly
- Removed Simple Recenter Was not exposed to users, and was just dead code.
Known Issues
- Chaperone Profiles will have to be re-made
- In some set-ups when you start to "drag" you may "jump" a little bit - this should be same as current behavior, and I'm investigating, creating and applying a chaperone profile fixes this issue if it bothers you
- Closing The Desktop Window WILL NOT save settings, either exit VR or exit ovras through settings->shutdown option
- Auto apply chaperone profile causes room setup to pseudo-launch, it will disappear in ~30 seconds, you can close it, or launch games over it.
WMR support
- Should now be considered deprecated, Everything will continue to work as is, It's more a matter of support if specific features break for WMR only they will not be receiving updates.
