fixed handcontroller not working in version 2.9.6 (Quest 3)

[koen330]

I just updated to 2.9.6

In VR, the hand controllers work in the new launcher, but when the game starts, and I actually enter DCS, they are not working anymore.

They are enabled in the settings, just as before.

What am I missing?

[SgtButsy]

same for me, following.  

 

[Draken35]

Mine are gone too

[koen330]

Discord is exploding with VR issues after the latest release....

I wonder if the controller issue is a Quest problem or if other brands are affected too?

[Squidly]

I'm having the same issue (Rift S)

[Hempstead]

Same here, Quest Pro. Makes the game completely unplayable. 100% epic fail.

The Oculus controller does not even show up on the Control Setting page as a column. Just completely non-existent.

same issue for controllers only. Hand tracking works but not all aircraft support the hand interaction, heatblur.

[TopoSolitario]

Same here, the funny things are:

• In Steam version controller is working but hand is rotated 90º BUT...
• ... the hand I see is the black leather one from many updates in the past, not the nomex gloves one, so probably they compiled some very old code.
• In MT controllers are missing, not transparent, just missing, no hands no interaction, and tested with both Oculus and Steam VR
• In MT the cursor is Green/Yellow again! XDDD but without controllers

Support answer was to go back to previous version, I don't think that's even possible in steam.

same problem here   Quest 2

RiftS no controllers in MT.  Work without MT but black gloves and hands point 90* off.

Halp  Same problem Sorry to say but I think (in the theory of things) that my Pilot got caught in some bar in the dodgy part of Georgia and tortured, hence lost his nice., olive drab and grey gloves that pointed the right way. after the torture (plus some dodgy Vodkas) -  he can only do a 90 degree hand. Phew in one way I'm pleased I'm sure there will be alots of background noise on this one, but in another,  I just want my nice hands back   Please fix it ED. I did play nice and buy the full FC3 2024 (in Steam), because I only had the non steam and it wasnt registering like before when i made the melted together version (Old and Steam), this seems to no longer work with the new launcher either. 

I used to have hands / gloves as below. see SS (Quest three BTW). 

 

Might be worth trying an open beta registration version in Steam to play one version before if Possible? not sure if can roll back. I will do a little research on it. 

 

Please fix it ED.

Same here. Quest 3. Maybe they should have postponed a little more, after all...

[dreyou]

Same thing happened to me. Quest 3. Reverted back to 2.9.5.55918.

Same here. Interesting that they are not showing as a controller in the Controller Set up screen. I thought it might be a tick box that had been changed by the update (my IPD box had become un-ticked!) but like i said if they are not showing in the controller set up screen, looks like DCS is now not recognizing them at all.

Back to MSFS again until the next update

I have the controller not appearing issue with the valve index controllers. Hoping a fix comes out soon.

That's the thing, before the update, in MT the controllers are shown as the nomex gloves in your screenshot. But now, in MT they don't show/work at all, in ST they are shown, but with the old black leather gloves, and 90º misaligned... it's like they've put an older implementation of the hand tracking in the new version...

 

[TFS]

Same, adding for ED visibility. Several of my friends, samed issue... I'm on Q3, gthey have Q2, QP. 

[Zap921]

If I remember correctly, right now in MT when I pull up Options in the Apache, I don't have the VR tab even showing to make any adjustments and my mouse doesn't work.  There is a selector spot visible that tracks with my head but hitting the enter button on keyboard does nothing to select an item.  I'll check again this weekend.

[Tavilha]

Same issue on Quest3.

If I use controllers in the VR options, they simply disappear. Furthermore, they used to be detected as Oculus Touch in the controls configuration page and now they're gone. If I switch to hand trackers, they show up and work as before. It's still unusable though, so the controllers must be fixed ASAP...

[mosshunt]

same here Q2, no hands visible, no controller detected, and the cursor tracks with the headset making the mouse hard to use

[TFS]

To add to this, I use my controllers to use the oculus menu to view my desktop, like alt tab for screen users... when doing this DCS throws an absolute fit. This is how I change voice attack profiles, or move in discord etc. I'm assuming this is the same cause and issue. 

[Draken35]

FYI/A... An user by the name of "**Freelancer** Jaghammer" in discord, suggested using Virtual Desktop with VDXR as the OpenXR runtime. It works!

[sLYFa]

I guess Link-Cable users like me are out of luck then

[TheConqueror]

No problem with Virtual Desktop App.... But Another problem happened. It detects my head movements on the monitor, but the game appears frozen in VR.

[ghawkgu]

I'm using Quest 3 + VD.

If I choose SteamVR in VD as the default OpenXR runtime, in DCS there's no hand controller. When I switched to VDXR, hand controllers will worked as usual.
