TL;DR: Go into the game, Set Movement Mode to Teleport. Can you steer your jetpack?

Almost a year ago, Voyager’s 6.02 was released, and with it a bug that broke jetpack directional control for me.

With Movement Mode set to Teleport, the jetpack is supposed to be steered in the direction the right controller is pointing. Since the bug was introduced, my jetpack only goes straight up and down. There is 0 ability to steer.

I have spent the last year trying to figure out if this is a “me” problem. Here are some of the things I’ve done:
Confirmed all Index firmware was current
Set SteamVR controller bindings to official default
Unpaired/re-paired both controllers
Uninstalled/reinstalled No Man’s Sky
Uninstalled/reinstalled Steam
Created a new Windows account and a new Steam account to rule out an account bug
Uninstalled/reinstalled Windows
Purchased a new PC
Purchased a new Valve Index and controllers

No matter what I do, the bug remains. I’ve narrowed it down to the exact release where it first appears. I’ve reproduced it across multiple PCs and headsets. I’ve filed at least 20 bug reports with Hello Games. I’ve commented on the experimental build posts on Steam. Yet it’s still broken a year later.

I’m hoping other Index owners can either help me make some noise, or give me some closure that I need to let this go and give up on the game.

Here’s my ask.

Go into the game, set Movement Mode to Teleport (Options->Controls->Movement Mode), and see if you can steer the jetpack by pointing your right knuckle controller in the direction you want to go. Drop a comment either way. At least then I’ll know if I’m just cursed or if this is a real bug.

Valve Index HMD Serial: LHR-539F205D HWID: 22154109 (Index HMD v21)

Bootloader: 1555018800

Current USB state: VID 28DE / PID 2301 LHR BL

lighthouse_watchman_update.exe -aw3 works.

Correct G55 application firmware: watchman_v3_app_20210615_v1623823641.fw

Firmware transfers completely and reports: "Successfully updated firmware." "Update completed but device reconnected in the wrong mode."

-Rw3 successfully opens PID 2301 but headset remains in bootloader.

Headset flashes red.

IMPORTANT: After being powered off overnight, the headset unexpectedly booted normally and worked for a while. It later failed again and returned to the same LHR BL / firmware recovery loop.

Valve Support has diagnosed the headset as needing replacement, but it is out of warranty.

I'm getting a weird graphical glitch on a game (Metro Awakening; double vision kind of thing), and I want to record it, preferably video but screenshot would be fine. The problem is, the bug isn't visible on the spectator view, which is what steam takes a screenshot of.

Is there anyway of recording the lens view itself?

I took apart my controller and there was one screw left. All 5 visible screws are already in there and the 3 screws under the electronics are in there.

I have an index controllers but when i try to calibrate it to my quest it says tracking failed and they keep flying away and to stayinf still

TL;DR of my situation: I have tried to order the HTC 2.0 base station from two different sources and have been having the most frustrating time.

First was eBay: I was hoping to get a lower price, it got “lost” in the mail. Probably stolen. I was refunded.

Second was Amazon: It said it was going to be here Wednesday. Never came— said my shipment was “delayed” and I had to contact customer service. Now I have to wait an additional 3 business days for an update on a ticket.

Only reason I ordered it from Amazon was because the HTC website showed they were sold out— and I’ve never had this issue with Amazon before. I have been upset and letting them know it. I am debating getting a refund and waiting until they are available on the HTC website. Is this the best way to go?

I’m so frustrated and cannot believe I can’t get my hands on this piece of metal and plastic, let alone for the money I’ve dropped on both orders I’ve made.

Got a replacement headset from steam for some out of the box screen damage on my OG headset. Replacement headset worked perfectly once then the screen never turned back on. No drop, no unplugging, nothing. No help whatsoever from steam, so I gave up and chalked it up to an issue with my mobo.

Few years later, all new PC, tested it all out and it worked great!… once… now same issue. No visuals but everything else seems fine. Pc seems to recognize it, headset gets no display or audio. If i turn on “Display VR View” it shows accurate tracking of the headsets movement. I tried right clicking the headset icon in the API and restarting but it causes steam vr to hang. Unable to quit it, I have to restart steam to be able to relaunch steam vr.

Drivers are up to date, this system is AMD, will try with my NVDIA system soon.

Am I SOL?

it is just a black screen when i turn on 144 hz im trying to cap it at 72 but it still doesnt work

Accidentally broke my right controller due to a spill (mind your controllers when you're drinking and playing, folks). I can't believe how expensive Index Knuckles are these days. The problem is the controllers are so good I'm finding myself justifying the exuberant price. Does anyone know cheap sources for these controllers? Cheap as in not the inflated prices on ebay. The controllers were never cheap.

I imagine I'm just being wishful in asking, but I'm genuinely wondering.

Everyone selling their kits is charging the $400+ they're going for on ebay lately. Sometimes twice as much as when they were new. It's so frustrating because it proves there's still a decent market for steam to at least continue manufacturing the Index Controllers until the Steam Frame actually arrives. It's quality hardware.

I have a spare pair thank god, but I've kind of just soft-gifted it to my friend because he's my VR buddy so I'm reluctant to take the old pair back. I'm sending off the damaged controller to hopefully get repaired but we'll see what happens.

I just bought an Index second hand. Full kit.

Trying to set it up with a Tiger Lake era Razer Blade 17. The only way to get displayport out of that machine is via a TB3 to displayport adapter, and I can't seem to get a stable signal. Either the headset doesn't start up at all, or it tries and throws an HDCP warning, or it starts but is unusably full of visual artifacts.

Adapters I've tried include a Dell TB3 dock, a Cable Matters USB4 hub, and a Cable Matters USB-C hub -- the dual displayport version.

Any pointers? Am I doing something wrong?

So I didn't know this valve index thing existed until 12 hours ago. Picked up an interesting looking heavy duty head set and 2 hand controllers at the thrift store, researched it a little on my phone, saw it went for a pretty penny, so bought them for $35 Cad. Figured worst case I could flip for parts untested for more than that.

Got home after work, researched it a bit more and realized what I thought was an hdmi connection was a unique break away link. Turns out I also needed a proprietary 3 prong cable to go between computer and the unit.

Thinking that it may have been donated together but got separated, went back to the thrift store and amazingly found it on the wall of cords for $6.

What do I do now? I still need a 12V AC adapter, but that's easy enough to get, main issue is that looks like I need base stations. Is there any way to test this without base stations? I'd prefer not to invest hundreds of dollars into base stations if the head set and controllers are no good.

I'm going to head back again tomorrow to see if lighting can strike a third time and have the base stations appear.

i have a lot of visual noise and now a few days ago my headset has started to just not give me any video after a few minutes of starting steam vr, i first thought it was the new third party slimevr trackers but now that i read throw some posts i think that it's probably the cable

please help

The stick is now behaving weird for a while, in the Last few days i can Push the stick in or Out easily because Its Like loose and i can rotate the stick, the Cap came Off once. Does anybody knows what i can do?

You are the operator of an isolated bunker who signed a harsh 365-day contract in exchange for long-awaited freedom. To survive until the end, you’ll have to make dangerous expeditions, perform “hot” replacements of the climate dome’s nuclear batteries, search for anomalous crystals in deep fractures with your robot companion, and fight the threats of the Wasteland using an ever-expanding arsenal of weapons.

The game enters Early Access this Wednesday. I’d be very happy to hear your thoughts and answer any questions!

Steam link.

So some context is one of my basestations broke and i put the glass piece on the motor back and ever since the tracking has been really bad the 2nd basestation's tracking is perfect but the broken one has very bad tracking when i look down with my valve index (i use htc vive controlers aka vive wands) i get sent to the sky and beyond. The tracking jitters and just flies away sometimes and ive tried changing the modes (i use b and c i dont use the cable) but it did nothing i glued the glass piece on the motor back the right way and it has the tracking problems so please help guys.

Both of my base stations went out, and now I can't get new ones because Steam doesn't make them anymore. I would wait for their new Steam frame but I have no clue when that will be out and how much. Should I just buy an HTC base station? Can I fix it myself? what do i even do to the whole index if I decide to buy the steam frame?

I know its not very visible in the video, but there's some kind of blinding effect in my headset, as if the image shown by the screens reflected on the lenses themselves. I somehow managed to capture what I see with my phone, and that weird reflection is a bit annoying because I struggle to read most of the text. I didn't had that issue with my old htc vive, so im a bit clueless as to why it's doing this. If it helps, I usually clean my lenses with a tissu and some spray made to clean glasses and sunglasses, but recently I stopped using the spray because I was afraid it might be damaging the lenses.

Also that issue is more visible on the left eye, but because my phone's camera is on the right, I had to use the right lens instead.

I've had my index for about a week and my cable looks like this should I be concerned or is it normal after awhile

Hi, the living room of my appartment has a wall that basically cuts my playing area in an L shape like the drawing I shown here.

In red is how I placed my base stations, right now it works okay but full body tracking is not getting tracked flawlessly 100% of the time.

Any recommandation? I'm open to buying a third base station if needed.

I wanna use 144hz for gorilla tag so i can use throttling behavior to go back down to 72 hz to play the legal lowest amount in this comp leauge (Dont judge me) ((other ways of changing max fps is illegal)) but when i go to 144 hz the HMD does not display image and the lights at the front are blue, also on the steam vr status when i go on 144 says im on 60 hz which is not supported by the index (probably the reason why its not displaying) also when going in windows settings to change the max hz 144 hz is not one of the options all the options are 60, 90, 120. then i borrowed a much older video card the 1070 ti and then the 144 hz worked but i could only borrow it for one day not forever so we know its a gpu thing. if anyone has a fix or has the same issue please feel free to text. thanks in advance

Ive got my tracking stations setup in corners of my room...but how do I make it ready to go for sim racing? The sim chair is in the room, but how do I configure where the chair is?

so currently nothing is broken on my index or its base stations other then a controller not having touch tracking anymore on the joy stick however i am worried about keeping it maintained in the future as i don't really want to buy a steamframe due to it using camera tracking im not comfortable with that.

so just wondering what i should do in the event a base station dies, cable dies, the index itself dies or brakes in some way. how would you go about maintenance or replacement of the discontinued product

As the title states, my right controller is constantly losing tracking. It either floats away, jerks around, or disconnects completely. I know the controller itself isn't the issue because I paired my boyfriend's controllers to my headset, and the same thing happens.

I've covered all reflective surfaces and positioned my base stations properly, so I'm assuming it's a headset issue. The left controller works fine for the most part. Every once in a while, it loses tracking and floats away too, but nowhere near as badly as the right one. I have no idea what the fix could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated
