We have released a new driver for the new SteamVR version released yesterday. It's a temporary patch since we made a workaround that might have performance problems in very old CPUs. If any of you experience low performance, the new version (in development) should fix them.
If you experience crashes, the driver may not be properly updated. Follow these steps to ensure it's up to date:
- Close SteamVR.
- Reinstall Natural Locomotion. (alternatively you can use "verify integrity of game files")
- Open Natural Locomotion without opening SteamVR first.
- You only need to follow these steps once. After that you can open it in whichever order you prefer.
We have rewritten the driver and most parts of NaLo which allow us to release new features we couldn't before due to technical debt. Some of these features will include:
- Overlay
- Detect game to auto start profiles
- Universal support for any SteamVR headset without explicit support on our side
- Buttonless setting for hands mode (Walking gesture will only be registered e.g. when the hands are under a certain height)
- Better performance
- Night mode theme
- OpenComposite support
- iOS version of NaLo tracker
- Gamepad emulation
- Demo version with all features to use in games
We don't have a release date for this new version yet but we'll publish a beta version as soon as we fix some critical bugs. This beta will have the first 6 features listed above.
We have also removed the old demo since it was giving too many problems with modern headsets and one couldn't try the feet tracker mode or whether it works with your games.
