[0.14.4.0] VR: Gray Screen When Playing w/ WMR Headset and Index Controllers

Bug Report
1

I know the VR support for this game is extremely early in development, but I thought I’d report this anyway.

Steps to Reproduce

If you have a Windows Mixed Reality headset (in my case I have an Odyssey+) with a setup that allows you to use Valve Index controllers with it, the game’s screen will become a solid, light gray when the controllers are turned on.

What I expected to happen

The normal behavior.

What happened

The issue the bug caused.

Notes / Media

The game displays as normal before turning on the Index controllers; the screen only turns gray after turning the controllers on. The gray screen also only appears in the headset; on the monitor the game still shows whatever map you’re in, and you can even control yourself with the keyboard and mouse.

I’ve had this exact issue happen to me in a couple other games (I Expect You To Die, and an unofficial VR mod for Risk of Rain 2), so I’m not sure if this is something that could be fixed per-game or not.

I actually found a way to fix this, although it isn’t really ideal (since you need to pay for it). This app is 6 dollars, but it includes a fix for the gray screen issue I was having.

(also I thought it was worth a mention in case this might help with fixing the bug without needing to get external software; the patch notes that included the fix mention that the gray screen issue is caused by playing seated games with mixed VR hardware (using wmr with index controllers, etc.))

Either way, I got this and was able to play TU with Index controllers without any issues.
