VR controllers not working in DCS 2.9.8.1107 STEAMVR

[snakebeater]

VR hand controllers no longer functioning after today's update. The hand model isn't rendering at all, even after toggling through all the settings. This has all been replicated on a fresh download/install of DCS, and sorting through all the VR setting in both the launcher and in-game.

Based on feedback in the bug report for this on the DCS Discord the following steps seem to make these work. These are done in VR and the settings modified within the VR screen in the in game config, not the new launcher.

1. Update the controller settings (don’t change anything else) to something you don’t want, save and then restart the game

2. Next update the controllers back to the setting you want, don’t make changes to anything else, save and restart the game. 
 

It has been mentioned that in some cases these settings will be lost if you make and save changes later, to be confirmed but I’m sure you’ll find out. 

For reference go to the DCS Discord https://discord.gg/eagledynamics and it’s this issue https://discord.com/channels/542985647502393346/1291225941246476308

This was posted in another thread, this work around did it for me. Try this, should work.
