UI mouse operations in VR

[orcrist]

Hi. I'm having an occasional issue with the UI layer when playing in VR, wondered if this is a known issue; sproradically, the button combo that I use on my warthog to simulate left/right/forwards/backwards click just stops working, and I have to resort back to using the mouse. It then sporadically works again at some point - could be 10 minutes, could be 50 minutes (although certainly never in the same mission) and then stops working again.

 

a) my control device are all updated with latest firmware and work correctly on other games

b) it is not that the window has lost focus

 

So, it just stops working and then I have to fumble and find the mouse whilst using the headset. 

 

Any ideas or suggestions? I've tried a different button combo and it still happens. I use a TM Warthog and tend to use the SOI / TMS select switch in combination with a modifier on the WH throttle to simulate the clicks/mouse forwards, backwards etc. 

 

Thanks.

anyone?

Are you using TARGET?  If so, is it the GUI or Script Editor?

I don't know if a track file would help.

I'm not using target, no. If I'm in a mission with several modules working, sometimes switching a module will fix it, sometimes it won't. 

 

I'm happy to post a track file if you think it'll help? It's just me then - it shouldn't be doing this? Is there a better config for left/right mouse that I haven't thought of perhaps that doesn't involve hunting for the keyboard with a VR headset on?

Could your mouse be off screen?  Make sure to have "Cursor Confined to Game Window in VR" box checked in VR settings.

I hope this helps.

Thanks but no, it's not that.
