From 1ae434e9877961b97d5d28ab4eb5b0eed1fb33b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vasily Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2019 18:33:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Swap recommended ways of getting bindings to show up Running with "-bindingsinterface" does not allow for continually updating the bindings or playing around with them. While changing the unix time in the vrappconfig is slightly harder for casual users, it will also give them a way better user experience. --- Readme.md | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/Readme.md b/Readme.md index a5b2af1..3c443e6 100644 --- a/Readme.md +++ b/Readme.md @@ -83,9 +83,9 @@ To upgrade an existing installation first stop SteamVR and delete the old applic ## Bindings -Advanced Settings supports the OpenVR IVRInput API.

Advanced Settings will not show up in the bindings menu unless you're actively running the application with `bindingsinterface.bat`. Advanced Settings will not work normally while running with `bindingsinterface.bat`. The above two solutions are workarounds to a bug in the OpenVR API.
