At first my apologies in advance - I've tried searching for similiar topic with no success.

Using Quest3. So I run VaM only with Virtual Desktop with runs flawlessly but now I wanted to try the hand tracking from some guide which requires starting VaM via Steam Link and SteamVR. The game runs but I cannot see my controllers in game, they do not respond to anything. I can still call the SteamVR menu but that's it. How do I run it properly via SteamVR?

I've confirmed in Meta App that current runtime is set to "OpenXR: SteamVR".
I tried runing by VaM.exe, VaM (OpenVR).exe, VamUpdater.exe and selecting launch in VR.

Can be caused by vrperfkit. Disable/delete it - dxgi.dll in VaM root folder.
found a solution at https://hub.virtamate.com/threads/increased-fps-when-using-openvr.9473/page-2#post-120715; posting here so it can pop up when searching for missing controllers.

On Index you can make the controllers work with vrperfkit by replacing VaM_Data\Plugins\openvr_api.dll with the openfsr version in addition to having dxgi.dll in the root folder. Then just set "enabled": false in openvr_mod.cfg so that it does nothing and vrperfkit can do it's thing. Worth a shot, it's a big performance boost.
