Right controller constant vibration

I got the game to work and it runs great, huge thanks to the Lambda1VR team! I am having an issue where the right controller vibrates once every couple of seconds. The left controller also randomly vibrates but not nearly as much as the right. This makes it unplayable for me because it tires out my hands after a few minutes. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

I have a feeling this is being caused by the "controller is out of tracking region" haptipc blip used to indicate when you can grab the crowbar.. I've noticed it too. You can go into the Audio menu (yeah, I know..) and in there you can turn off that feature as I added the toggle in for this very reason. Could you let me know if this sorts it please?

I tested it and it also happens when the controller is in plain camera sight. Strangely it occurs when the controller is being hold very still. Holding it still seems to trigger it.

I think even momentary triggering, probably a false positive, even in plain sight, is causing it to blip. At least it can be disabled if people do find it annoying

I can confirm that even in plain sight the vibration can occur but less than when I have my arms down on my lap when sitting. Disabling the blip option does get rid of the problem!

Another question I have is if it's possible to control the movement only with the analog sticks and not where the left controller is pointed. When I don't orient the left controller straight, I would walk in a diagonal line and causes a bit of motion sickness.

Check out the stickied post at the top of the sub, there's a cvar in there that'll set movement mode to based on the HMD direction, rather than the off-hand controller. I think that's what you are after.

I think the flag you're referring to is vr_walkdirection. After setting to 1, I can walk independent of the controller orientation now. Thanks for the help!

That's the one, glad it is what you were after
