Hi everyone,
You may find it asks to install .NET Runtime 8 on first startup, this is required for our new launcher which is not fully implemented yet and only used for the installation process at the moment. That's the main purpose of this post!
Added:
- New user-friendly installed that's not just a command prompt.
Changes:
- Removed various unused processes and made modifications to avoid a Windows Security false positive.
- Made various changes to 'help avoid' OVR Toolkit remaining open after closing SteamVR.
So like... Why no more frequent updates?
Well, a lot is in the works under the hood. We're currently undergoing a large UI overhaul to make our design language consistent and more professional as well as improve usability overall.
This'll mean that, finally, all Window Settings have been moved onto the overlay itself instead of the 'phone like' legacy Edit Mode menu. The legacy Edit Mode menu will be removed entirely.
The Global Settings will be a pop-out settings window that can be dragged around and will be a lot easier to navigate as well.
The upcoming changes also plan to fix some longstanding issues such as OVR Toolkit not closing on Steam when closing SteamVR, as well as resolving issues with the wristwatch not switching hands when changing between different pairs of controllers.
Motivation is hard to come by, it's very easy to feel overwhelmed and simply not achieve anything, but... Work is getting done slowly but surely. Hopefully it's all worth while in the end and it helps keep OVR Toolkit as the go-to VR desktop overlay for years to come. ^^
Thanks again everyone for sticking around, it's always greatly appreciated. Remember to post your feedback and suggestions in our Discord server!
