Neues Firmware update für das Index HMD.

SteamVR Beta Updated - 1.5.7
The SteamVR Beta has been updated with the following changes.

If you encounter issues with this update, please post in the SteamVR Bug Report forum. If possible, please include a system report to aid in tracking down your issue.

SteamVR:

Driver RunFrame calls to PollNextEvent throttled to 1s of event processing. This is an attempt to work around cases where calls to driver RunFrame never return, in the case where it is due to constant event processing. This has been observed in some drivers when they are processing wireless haptic events. Drivers that are throttled will almost immediately be called again in RunFrame after other system housekeeping is done.

Index Headset Firmware (v1559778800):

Improved AMD support (across all frame-rates)

USB-C (VirtualLink) auto-detection

Neues nonBeta v1.5.8 Update mit unter anderem aktuellem Oculus SDK und neuer Index Firmware.

Update Highlights

Support for Oculus Rift S including models in the dashboard and many applications.

Fixed numerous stability issues and bugs.

New mechanisms to avoid driver conflicts that prevented users from using their preferred HMD.

Click to expand...

SteamVR:

Fixed rare crash in vrserver.exe with certain audio devices and driver versions.

Fixed a crash in vrserver.exe when restarting Steam while SteamVR is running (only possible if SteamVR is not launched from Steam).

Fix a crash if SteamVR is started while Steam is sitting at a login prompt.

Fixed Steam crashing when SteamVR was launched and 'Enable GPU Profiling' was enabled.

Fixed a crash when running through Windows Remote Desktop.

Updated Base Station 2.0 Channel Configuration UI for more clarity.

Fixed issue with internal scene transitions in applications which use IVRApplications::LaunchInternalProcess within the first 60 seconds of the application starting up. One example of this is entering Secret Shop or Aperture Robot Repair in The Lab.

Fix some issues that could lead to SteamVR hangs.

Fixed right clicking on the status window in the new "Searching..." and "Standby" states.

Moved the “Searching…” popup into the main status window.

Added a “Standby” status for when the HMD isn’t being worn.

Added Debug Commands interface (under Developer menu).

Driver RunFrame calls to PollNextEvent throttled to 1s of event processing. This is an attempt to work around cases where calls to driver RunFrame never return, in the case where it is due to constant event processing. This has been observed in some drivers when they are processing wireless haptic events. Drivers that are throttled will almost immediately be called again in RunFrame after other system housekeeping is done.

Deprecate driver-supplied Prop_DoNotApplyPrediction_Bool. (See Windows MR notes for more information).

Add a per-driver “loadPriority” (higher is earlier loading) to control the order that we check drivers for available HMDs. The default loadPriority is 0. Drivers can set a different default in resources/settings/default.vrsettings. The user can override those settings in their personal steam/config/steamvr.vrsettings file. Drivers with the same priority continue to be loaded in alphabetical order as before.

The default null driver loadPriority (which has historically been forced to be “last”) is -999.

The default iVRy driver loadPriority is -100 because it takes a fixed 5 seconds to initialize even when not in use. Users of iVRy should not notice any change.

Set the default load priority for driver_kinoni to -800 because it always claims to have an HMD (which will block access to any later drivers).

The default AMD WVR driver (part of AMD “Relive”) loadPriority is -900 because it will always claim to have an HMD (previously because it started with “a” it would block access to all other actual HMDs whenever it was installed).

SteamVR Home:

Changed held object color picker to be easier to use with thumbsticks

Fixed held object color picker sometimes unintentionally causing snap turns

changed held object color picker to only engage on trackpad press on Index controllers

increased thickness of held object color picker hue ring

Fix for incorrect tool entity position (was causing tool sounds to be incorrectly spatialized).

Consolidate config files to use a single _vr suffix, instead of a per-controller suffix. This reduces loss of user flags such as whether or not they’ve completed the tutorial.

Click to expand...

SteamVR Input:

Fixed issue binding vector1 actions to Boolean inputs

Fixed issue hot-reloading action manifests (fixes unreal SteamVR input plugin)

Fixed issue with certain legacy titles not being able to set default bindings on the Steam partner site.

Fixed issue with controller binding UI in-headset showing a small blank rectangle instead of UI.

Added ability to bind boolean inputs to vector1 actions.

Added headers to action selection window in binding interface.

Added callout for required actions in binding interface.

Fixed “Pretend to be this type of controller” button looking wrong if nothing was set at all.

Fixed double-click while publishing a binding actually publishing two copies.

Changed the default name when publishing a binding or saving a favorite to include the user’s Persona name rather than the old (usually default) binding name.

Click to expand...

Oculus:

Updated Oculus SDK to 1.37.0.

Added icons and controller render models for Rift S.

When Oculus Guardian is updated while SteamVR is running, update Chaperone automatically without requiring a restart.

Fixed thumbstick animation for Rift CV1 controller render models.

Fixed warning not popping up when the user has an outdated version of the Oculus software.

Switched all Rift haptics to use the non-buffered API (the old API is deprecated).

When Rift S is used, don't show tracking camera icons.

Click to expand...

Windows MR:

When using third-party software to mix Windows MR HMDs with non-MR trackers and controllers, correctly predict poses for the non-MR devices.
(Currently the MR driver supplies already predicted poses, and uses an HMD velocity of zero to prevent HMD pose extrapolation.)

Avoid a crash after 30+ minutes of runtime when the driver backs up on haptic commands.

Click to expand...

Valve Index:

Always treat thumbsticks as touched when they are moved away from the center.

Updated Hidden Area Mesh for Index HMD to better account for canting, increase stereo overlap, and to better accommodate re-projection.

Click to expand...

Valve Index Headset Firmware (v1559778800):

Improved AMD support (across all frame-rates)

USB-C (VirtualLink) auto-detection

Click to expand...

Linux:

Temporarily disabled vrwebhelper functionality. For testing purposes it can be re-enabled by setting STEAMVR_WEBHELPER=1 in your environment.

Fixed crashes in vrwebhelper.

Fixed a hang in vrserver during SteamVR shutdown.

Fixed the flickering black box on the vrmonitor UI when the VR Mirror View was open.

Click to expand...

Compositor:

Fixed a Motion Smoothing related crash on AMD hardware.

Fixed startup crash when trying to use wireless on unsupported hardware.

Added support for DXGI_FORMAT_R32G8X24_TYPELESS textures passed as depth from applications.

Added support for passing left-handed projection matrices when supplying additional depth info.

Umfangreiches Beta Update mit interessanten Neuerungen, sowie Firmware-Update für die Index Controller.

SteamVR Beta Updated - 1.6.1
The SteamVR beta has been updated with the following changes.

If you encounter issues with this update, please post in the SteamVR Bug Report forum. If possible, please include a system report to aid in tracking down your issue.
Click to expand...

SteamVR:

Change how games launched from SteamVR Home are started to try to avoid a hang that some users (particularly Windows MR?) have seen. Note that users seeing this problem have all reported that they can successfully launch games from the dashboard or from the desktop, and those methods should continue to work.

Changes to try to avoid error 308 on startup. Split out some types of failures into a new error 309 to attempt to understand what is going wrong.

Enabled automatic firmware recovery for Valve Index and Vive Pro devices that have had certain firmware updates interrupted or failed.

Fixed a rare spontaneous shutdown of vrserver caused by very briefly connected pipes.

Click to expand...

SteamVR Input:

Renamed the devices menu option and the dashboard settings option for editing bindings to “Controller Settings”. Added some new options on the left side of the app select screen and simplified the old contents of that screen.

Added options to controller settings to set global rotation values for thumbsticks.

Added an option to controller settings to set a global deadzone value for thumbsticks.

Added screen to test any controller supported by SteamVR. This will show the raw input values from the driver, including touch, click, force, capsense, thumbstick position, and trackpad position. This is available on the controller setting screen.

Added debug screen to show exactly the contents of the VRControllerState_t struct that are being provided to legacy applications. This can be helpful when debugging bindings for legacy applications. When input developer options are enabled in settings, this new UI is available as on the left side of the controller settings screen.

Added some additional consistency rules for legacy bindings. The following things will happen for all legacy input applications regardless of the actual bindings specified in the UI:

If an input is clicked the “touched” bit will be set for that input. This is true for buttons, trackpads, triggers, and thumbsticks.

If a trigger with a physical button is clicked, that trigger’s value will be set to 1.0.

If a trigger has a value of 0.2 or higher, the “touched” bit will be set for that trigger.

If a trackpad is touched, that trackpad’s position will not be 0.0, 0.0.

If a trackpad or thumbstick has a value of something other than 0.0, 0.0 the “touched” bit will be set for that input.

Silenced annoying log spam in vrclient_<appname>.txt and vrserver.txt about continuously reloading bindings.

Fixed binding files not being editable in applications with ampersands in their names. (And possibly other applications with legal-but-special characters in their names.)

Enabled Button modes in the binding UI taking their “click” input from the positions of thumbsticks and trackpads. Setting this option also enables you to set the threshold for when a stick deflection is considered clicked.

Added a setting in joystick modes that allows thumbsticks to consider themselves clicked if they are deflected more than a threshold amount. This lets a user click in the center, move a thumbstick to the edge and release the physical click, but still keep the thumbstick clicked as far as the game is concerned.

Added the ability to use complex button modes (double click, long press, etc.) from thumbstick or trackpad positions. This also enables those modes from pure analog triggers like those on Touch and Windows Mixed Reality controllers.

Lighthouse:

Changes to device discovery to reduce the impact of misbehaving USB drivers and devices.

Click to expand...

Linux:

Fixed Index HMD always notifying a firmware update is available.

Fixed being unable to re-start SteamVR after vrserver is killed/crashes ( aka LfMutexUnlockRobust crashes).

Fixed vrwebhelper crashing the Steam client.

Fixed 'psychedelic' colours in the Steam client caused by exiting SteamVR.

Fixed 'Restart SteamVR' prompts exiting SteamVR but not restarting it.

Various vrcompositor crash fixes.

Fixed 'ioctl(GFEATURE): Broken Pipe' spam in stdout

Click to expand...

Index Controllers:

Updated the default input bindings for legacy applications that have not set specific bindings. When the thumbstick is fully deflected it is automatically considered clicked, for better compatibility with applications built for trackpads. Existing bindings can be modified to have the same behavior.

Click to expand...

Index Controller Firmware (1562191192):

Fixed an issue that could prevent pairing to a new wireless receiver until a power cycle.

SolKutTeR · Aug 1, 2019

Großes nonBeta Update 1.6.10.

Update Highlights

Improved Valve Index support with headset white-point adjustment, better USB stability, and other reliability improvements. (Some of these fixes require firmware updates.)

Added thumbstick binding options, including auto-click, sticky-click, and double-click. See the full notes for details.

Improved controller binding options for legacy applications.

Added user control over thumbstick deadzone and forward direction.

Improved startup reliability for users of all headsets including Valve Index, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Windows MR.

Click to expand...

SteamVR

Enabled automatic firmware recovery for Valve Index and Vive Pro devices that have had certain firmware updates interrupted or failed.

Changed how games launched from SteamVR Home are started to try to avoid a hang that some users (particularly Windows MR?) have seen.

Fixed a rare spontaneous shutdown of vrserver caused by very briefly connected pipes.

Added specific error text and recovery option for error 436.

Fixed a rare case where SteamVR would stop working after a prolonged period of high CPU load.

Fixed an assertion in vrmonitor when exiting without ever discovering an HMD.

Fixed a Steam crash when using a driver that uses an old version of the driver interface and provides “wake on button press” functionality.

Fix cases of error 422 that could happen when launching a game and letting it launch SteamVR (as opposed to launching VR first and then launching the game).

Introduced fixes for error 308, plus changes to distinguish different causes of errors 308, 309, 310.

Fixed one known cause of error 310 (believed to be some non-SteamVR process named “vrserver.exe” being mis-detected as an existing SteamVR session). Fixed thanks to a report in the bug report forum!

Valve Index

Introduced a fix for some Valve Index users experiencing Base Station Power Management intermittency.

Adjusted Valve Index headset to a more neutral (less-blue) white point. Users relying on 3rd-party white-balance controls (ex: Advanced Settings) may now prefer to disable the external control.

Updated the default Valve Index Controller input bindings for legacy applications that have not set specific bindings. When the thumbstick is fully deflected it is automatically. considered clicked, for better compatibility with applications built for trackpads. Existing bindings can be modified to have the same behavior.

Kann mir wer sagen was damit gemeint ist (gleich der erste Satz) und wo findet man die Einstellung wenn es eine sein soll:

"Improved Valve Index support with headset white-point adjustment"

Neues und umfängliche Beta Update 1.7.2, mit interessanten Neuerungen.

SteamVR:

Simplified the user experience to more clearly and consistently communicate general VR and specific device status.

Added an improved VR display view, with new docked preview and full screen modes, plus new blended left/right-eye views.

To display or hide the new VR View, visit the SteamVR status window menu or right-click on the headset icon, then select this item in its context menu.

Device icons updated to reflect Steam, SteamVR, and Valve Index styles.

Device icons updated to support high-DPI displays for Valve Index, Valve Index Controllers, Vive, Vive Pro, Vive Controllers, Vive Trackers, Rift S, and Rift S Controllers.

Fixed issue with only one auto-launching overlay app starting when multiple were set to auto-launch.

Click to expand...

SteamVR Input:

Added setting in binding configs called “Return bindings with X hand” that cause the gamepad or treadmill bindings to also apply to left/right hand devices when a SteamVR Input application restricts its action results by device.

For legacy input applications, when the trigger is clicked the trigger value will not be set to 1.0 if the click action is already coming from the trigger. This fixes a bug with Oculus Touch controllers in games like VRChat, where the grip trigger value would jump from partially pulled to fully pulled. For legacy bindings that put a trigger click action on another button, the existing behavior remains and the axis value will be set to 1.0.

Click to expand...

Compositor:

Fixed a gpu scheduling issue with motion smoothing on AMD hardware which was causing motion smoothing to disable itself after a while due to poor performance.

Click to expand...

Oculus:

Fixed passing depth through to the Oculus runtime from apps which provide it.

Click to expand...

Linux:

Fixed various performance issues.

Fixed IVRCompositor::GetFrameTiming() reporting bad data when async mode was enabled, correcting the reporting of impossibly long frame times in the frame timing window.

Fixed a system hang when async compute is enabled.

Click to expand...

SteamVR Home:

Enabled normal engine shutdown.

Fixed Friend count not showing up in lobby panels.

Click to expand...

Additional Notes:

Note to external SteamVR driver developers: The runtime now looks for icons with @2x variants and will automatically pick them up for your driver(s) if provided. See the drivers that ship with SteamVR for reference (e.g. runtime/drivers/indexhmd/resources/icons).

On first launch, if the stylized icons do not exist, they will be automatically generated and saved next to your existing icons with a custom postfix, then used for subsequent launches. You are encouraged to ship these generated icons with your driver(s) alongside your existing icons, which should remain unchanged. Doing so will enable your icons to already exist on disk for users upon launch. You also should feel free to hand-edit the automated output as needed. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Icon style changes can be reverted by setting they keys customIconStyle and customOffIconStyle to the empty string in your steamvr.vrsettings file. As always, exercise extreme caution when modifying this file as no error checking is performed.
