SteamVR:
- Fix for third party dashboard applications, and other applications that monitor scene application changed events.
OpenXR:
- Ensure OpenXR apps respond to the "Pause VR when headset is idle" setting (SteamVR Settings > Video). Disabling this setting will allow OpenXR apps to continue rendering and receive input even if the HMD is not worn or is Idle.
If you are experiencing a serious issue with the 1.21 release that was not present in the 1.20 release, you can help us by submitting a system report that shows both circumstances. To do this:
- Do whatever is necessary to hit your bug with version 1.21.
- Switch to version 1.20 and do all the same things you did in step 1 (which shouldn't hit a bug this time).
- Close your game and create a system report.
- Upload the system report to your file host of choice, create a new post on our SteamVR Bug Report forum, and include the link to your system report.
Our guidelines for how to report a bug are available here. If you prefer not to post your system report publicly, you can submit a support ticket through our normal facilities and attach the system report to that ticket, then just mention in your post on the SteamVR Bug Report forum that you submitted a ticket and we can find it in the back end.
You can switch between versions by right clicking on 'SteamVR' in your Steam library, then Properties > BETAS > and selecting the version "v1.20.4public". You can create a system report by pressing the system button on the SteamVR window on your desktop (this button looks like three lines, or a 'hamburger'), clicking 'Create a system report', and then saving it to a file.
The 1.20.4 release will only be available for a limited time.
