    Issue Regarding Runtimes - temporary fix

    Hello Fellow Varistas, Please be aware there's an issue going on right now with Varista when using other XR runtimes. Currently the Steam one is working (the most widely available one for Varista right now) If your hands are looking a little weird when you load up the game try the following: Step 1) With or without your headset on you can open steam VR (if you do it from your desktop a little window will open) Step 2) Go to the settings page Step 3) Click on OpenXR and then Set SteamVR as openXR runtime This will allow you to play open xr games on your steam device (including varista) You will be able to switch this anytime back to your respective runtime device on their local homepage/settings I am sorry for any inconvenience! And I am presently working on a fix. Regards, The PomDev Team

    Update to allow users to play with SteamVR Runtime

    Hello Fellow Varistas, I have worked out a solution that seems to have resolved the issues with SteamVR not working (hands were typically stuck in the ground.) I have since added a fix so Varista should work when launched through steam on OpenXR platforms including SteamVR and Oculus. Thank you for your continued support, if you have anymore issues please let me know on our community page or on our discord at: https://discord.gg/cS7JcQprES Sincerely, The PomDev Team

    Fixing Issue with SteamVR Not Recognizing Hands

    Hello Fellow Varistas! Unfortunately, during development I ran into some issues learning to use OpenXR and how that works at runtime with SteamVR and the likes. I have found a fix for it and I am applying it tomorrow I am just ironing out some issues I had after the update but it seems so far to have resolved the hands being stuck to the ground at the start of the game for people using SteamVR as their default runtime. I will be back with hopefully the patch and an update tomorrow. Thank you for being patient, hopefully you are enjoying all the demos being provided during Steam Next Fest! PomDev Team
