Can't reconfigure my size?

Bugs and Technical Issues
1

Hello guys !
I am playing a shaman.
I have an htc vive, i5 6900k and gtx1060.

The problem I am facing is really, really starting to piss me off.

For some reason, my vr headset makes me smaller than I am.
( I encounter this problem only in this game )
The result is that my totems are always in my face when I play, I can’t throw my spells without grabbing a totem, same goes for the tools I can put in left hand and right hand.
This problem prevents me from having fun in crafting as well, as I am sometime grabbing a totem instead of the ingredient in front of me…

Basically, the hud is constantly in my face, totems, tools, my hp bar…

Is there solution to this, or has every shaman the same problem ?

Do you mean that the floor is higher in orbus then in your room setup?

I usually use steam advanced settings to mess around with my playspace and playerhight as I play.

Yea exactly, the floor is higher, I can configure that in steamvr ? I’m new to vr, got my headset a week ago

Ok.
To start with try redoing your room setup in steam vr and see if that fixes it.

After that you should download the program called steam advanced settings. It will give you a lot of options to during a game configure your room, room direction, hight, sound and makes your vr lite a lot easier.

well, redoing my room setup didn’t fix anything…
I can’t find steam advanced settings in the steam market, is it a third party program ?

6

Yup. Google it
Just making sure, you did restart orbus after you did the setup?
Also lets summon a dev for this @Mathieu_D

7

Yup, I did.
Well yea, I’ll wait for the advice of a dev before installing a third party program that windows advises me not to install.

Thank you for your answer :slight_smile:

After a 5 second google search this is something I found, hopefully it helps you out -
Hi, you can adjust you floor height within SteamVR.

Choose Settings — Developer and go a little down the page, The is a button Quick Calibrate.

It adjusts your floor and chaperone direction to the direction and height your Vive headset is looking/placed right now.

So put your headset on the floor in a place you like and tap Quick Calibrate!

i have the same issue the resenter view is off every time i go do dragon racing or grab stuff from the ground

Nope, the Quick Calibrate thing didn’t help.

Here is a screenshot of my hud when i face the totems i placed on the ground to fight.

In green you see the spell i want to use from my totem.
In red are the totems that totally are in the way of me fighting.
In purple is the hud.

And that can’t be seen on the screen because I removed them for the purpose of the screen but my tools get in the way as well.

And you can actually see the compass on the bottom left being annoying as well

Is this the way shaman is supposed to be played ?

Looks right to me…

12

So in this case, grabbing the spell and sometimes grabbing the totem by mistake because it is on top of the spell is ok ?

It’s not ideal, but that is a normal experience currently. It is something we’re looking into fixing we just haven’t found the right solution yet. See this thread for more details:

As I thought, thank your for your answer.

Seemed quite weird to me for this behaviour to be intended.

The idea of relocating them to the off hand seems quite good !

Maybe I’ll switch to another class for the time being then :slight_smile: Have a great day !
