Vive update v1.65

Make sure you watch the SteamVR mechanics video, it is on the store's front page! This update has been pushed to everyone.

  • Changed teleporting to require a touchpad press, instead of simply touching it (should address issues of accidental activation).
  • You'll now start games closer to the ground, so you won't need to fall to floor or teleport there (in room-scale mode).
  • Raised the main & pause menus to the player's height in room-scale mode.
  • Lowered pop-up messages & timers when in virtual reality (to make them easier to see).
  • Moved UPnP initialization to another thread, which will hopefully free up the startup process & avoid Vive display issues.

v1.65 added "Right Click" label to the weapon Vive wand, to help point out it is used for separating items at workstations etc.
