VRTK+STEAMVR No Longer Works

[TheBitcoinBaron]

Environment

• Source of VRTK - Github
• Version of VRTK - most recent github master version
• Version of Unity3D - 2018.2.1f1
• Hardware used - HTC Vive
• SDK used - SteamVR

Steps to reproduce

Install Unity, Steam VR, and VRTK in a brade new 3D project.
Attempt to follow tutorial video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IWAwFDhX2M&t=542s
(001 The Basics)

Expected behavior

On the first run in the tutorial video, following each and every step exactly, the controller should have a pointer which can teleport around.

Current behavior

VR loads, but there is no pointer or teleport functionality, no errors or warnings are encountered. The code simply does not work as in the tutorial any more.

maybe dont load them from asset store, load vrtk from github directly to get latest

This isn't a bug with vrtk, this is probably user error. VRTK is working as expected.

Issues like these are better discussed in because you can instantly get answers instead of waiting on here. It's also way easier for troubleshooting in general. GitHub issues are only useful for proper bug reports with steps to reproduce in an example scene like the Issue Template requires.

I don't think it's a user error and I think, you should answer this properly. It doesn't work for me either. I did the exact same thing as CrayzCrinkle with the same result

We did on Slack. Your issue can be anything and you gave no information at all. Head to Slack to get help or open a new issue and follow the issue template, otherwise it will be closed.

This seemed like a proper bug report.

And now, while that person may be helped, all of us in the future on the internet have no idea what the solution was.

So, for someone who is considering whether or not to use VRTK, does VRTK work with the latest SteamVR update?

[thestonefox]

@missmah at the time his issue was not a bug, nor was his report a valid bug report.

However, since then there is a new issue with SteamVR 2.0 and it is not compatible with VRTK 3.3 (current github master)

You'll need to use the SteamVR 1.2.3 plugin which is available at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamvr_unity_plugin/releases/download/1.2.3/SteamVR.Plugin.unitypackage

This has worked for me - Thank you.

Is this still the way to go? Or is there a fix for VRTK3 / SteamVR 2?
