Redundant buttons on oculus and steamVR menu don't work

[Damien_D]

Hello

i’m using the oculus, and here are the redundant controls:

Locomotion + teleport :

Press left stick : teleport
Press right stick : teleport
Press X: teleport
Press A: teleport

Press Y: open menu
Press B: open menu
Press left menu button: open menu

And the steam menu don’t work with Oculus (Left menu button), I wish i could talk with my friends on steam, without having to remove my headset every 5 minutes to answer them or to make screenshots.

On many Oculus other games the steam menu works in addition to the oculus menu.

Sorry, I don’t speak English very well.

I remember reading that this game does not use SteamVR but the oculus SDK directly for rift users. Hence the Steamvr button not working. I could be wrong though

Okay so I tested this briefly and it does work. How to do it specifically:

Right-click on the “OrbusVR” item in your Games list on Steam, select Properties…
Click on the “Set Launch Options…” button
Type in “-vrmode openvr” in the box, save and close.

However, note that what this does is force the game to use SteamVR instead of the native Oculus SDK. This does give you access to the SteamVR overlay while you are in-game. However, keep in mind that:

You are now using SteamVR as a middleware layer in front of Oculus, so there is some overhead associated with that.
You are losing out on some Oculus-specific features, such as for example pressing the Grip button and pointing your finger no longer does the point gesture.
The angles of a few things will be different, such as the hands and the bow, because you’re using the SteamVR “rig” instead of the Oculus “rig”, where we adjusted those angles to better match the Touch controllers.

So yeah just letting you know what’s actually going on there. But if access to the SteamVR overlay is your top priority, those trade-offs may be worth it for you
