World Grab Quit Working

[Mhunter047]

Last nigh when I opened VAM in VR I found that I can no longer "grab" the world by pressing down on the joystick and moving around. I went in and checked that the setting for that function is still active in "User Preferences" "VR" and it is, I also tried toggling it, restarting everything and no luck. this is on a fairly "new to me" Windows11 computer. I have to admit that I have had a lot of problems with WIndows11 getting everything working. Any suggestions on where to look?

After searching everywhere and a time wasted chat with support at Meta, I decided to try and remap my controllers. Unfortunately, the function of pressing the josysticks down is not even listed. But then and just because I press every button when I get frustrated, I clicked on "Reset Controllers" and right away I noticed that the icons for the joysticks changed. I then loaded up Vam and YAY!!! I have the ability grab the world again. This is an important feature if you want to navigate in Vam with only controller, and I really want to do it that way! Apparently, the update changed the mapping of the joysticks, I had no idea that the reset function would go back to the original default, apparently neither did the Meta people, so I don't feel too bad. I thought I would share this in case anyone else ever has this problem.

Hmm, don't use the latest SteamVR beta's. I couldn't move after the last (beta before the latest) updated, and returned to the release build and it worked fine again. They broke something VaM uses it seems.

Hopefully it will be fixed in the future and won't need a VaM update.
