Just tested it and with big disappointment have to report that this problem is not resolved at all !
No any change if you lunch DeoVR Steam version via SteamVR and VD - thumbsticks movement still not detected AT ALL at rebind controllers screen in settings ...
If you lunch DeoVR via Quest Air Link (Quest API) (without SteamVR) in DeoVR controller settings the rebind screen this time seems to works fine and detecting thumbstick movement and you can rebind successful thumbstick for example horizontal and vertical rotation . But ... when you start some vid and press thumbstick down - it just drops you out from the vid into vids list menu ... The left and right thumbstick movements also doesnt work proper and they just forwards the vid ...
So with other words the problem is not fixed at all !
Just wonder is it really so hard and complicated you developers of DeoVR to fix something so very simple ?!? REALLY ???
Shame on you ...

Thanks for the thumbsticks fix ! Hope it works for Steam DeoVR version started trough VirtualDesktop too ? I am going to test it at the evening and will share here...

boudaba

Thanks for theses fixes.
Could you may be check theses problems for a next update ?
-Not possible to map the Slide parameter with a key of thumbsticks (the option name is not available in the config key panel).
-It's complicate to be precise with the Thumbsticks when you use the slider to change a parameter like the Yaw, Slide, Contrast, etc.

Not possible to have the passthrough when you use the Quest Link (black screen behind the image)

boboweb Reported this problem to our devs. They replied that we officially support SteamVR for Quest devices through Quest Link. With Quest link everything works correctly. We're not familiar with your Virtual Desktop setup, but launching the app from the steam desktop app while using quest link works normally. No thumbstick issues there.

This is not correct ! At least this doesnt work proper trough Quest Air Link and Windows10 ! See my post above

I am note sure what exactly means "we officially support SteamVR for Quest devices through Quest Link" . If you lunch DeoVR via Quest Link then you do not use SteamVR at all . Do you use for your tests Cable Link ?

Please send to your developers that i am ready to cooperate and test DeoVR so help your team make it work proper lunched via VirtualDesktop and SteamVR . And as already said the strange thing is that at older Steam version DeoVR 8.55 the Quest3 thumbsticks works perfect at the very same PC setup .

Any chance you could make the pico apk direct downloadable like you do for the quest apk ?

boboweb

P.S and the biggest joke is that all this works PERFECT on Quest 3 and DeoVR Steam version 8.55 - this is more then 2 years old version ...

Hey, thanks for letting the 6DOF speed to go +4.00!!!! HUGELY helpful.

Is there any way you can still allow a zoom adjustment during 6DOF?? thanks again. Very cool.

Cool, didn't think that was going to happen, thanks Kat.

coldbricks s there any way you can still allow a zoom adjustment during 6DOF?? thanks again. Very cool.

Would like that too but think they're redoing 6DOF completely so wouldn't expect anything soon.

could we please get an option to deactivate autoplay 🙏
right now the controller button for "back" (back to overview) doesn't even work while the autoplay timer runs down. i'm forced to point the laser beam at cancel or wait 5 seconds.
at the current state autoplay just adds more unnecessary user interface interaction and frustration.
i might get to like the autoplay feature when i can easily turn it on and off
and ones it let's me set the amount of seconds for the timer.
thanks!

bennui passed this info to our developers 🙂
