1. Basic Information
This beta release should improve user experience with the following features:
- Not able to create a new binding for SteamVR games: For VR games without default bindings, SteamVR would not allow you to create a new custom binding for eteeControllers.
- Confusing LED status from eteeControllers: Removed tracker LED synchronisation feature from the eteeControllers.
- eteeControllers stability: Removed edge-cases where eteeController would freeze and not work.
2. List of changes
2.1. eteeController firmware
New version available: 1.3.5.beta.1
Instructions: To update your controllers, please, use eteeConnect. Go to: Options > Update > Firmware, and follow on-screen instructions.
Changes to firmware:
- Reduced confusing LED status from eteeControllers where when the controller is disconnected from a dongle, it would try to mimic the LED status of the eteeTracker.
- Resolved controller freezing and not turning ON due to an edge-case when the device is critically low in battery.
Note - Know Bugs in Beta:
There seems to be a bug on the previously released beta firmware (1.3.5.beta.0) where when the controller enters light sleep, the device will either remain stuck in light sleep or once you reactivate the device it will permanently remain active. The condition for entering light sleep is as follows;To resolve this, hard-reset the controller by pressing and holding the power-button for ~13 seconds. This bug will still be present in this current update and we are actively working on resolving this and will push an update to fix this.
- 5 minutes of inactivity when the device is connected to a eteeController dongle.
- 30 seconds of inactivity when the device is not connected to a eteeController dongle.
2.2. etee driver for SteamVR
New version available: etee driver for SteamVR - v1.4.1.beta.2
SteamVR version compatibility: SteamVR v1.26
Please note that this feature only applies to SteamVR v1.26 and higher and you will need to opt into the beta branch for SteamVR as well for this feature to work.
