Rift Doom VR but with Vive controller?

ssmacc · 2 Jan 2019 at 14:25

Hello All,

Just tried to play Doom VR from Steam on my Rift and for some reason the game thinks I'm using a Vive controller, anyone else experienced this? I can't get past the introduction level as I can't access the correct button on the Rift controller...

Have you tried any other VR games from steam and have you completed the Steam VR setup?

The tutorial knows it's a rift .. Although under 'USB' in the settings it thinks it's a Vive... Something strange going on...

Doom VFR does not officially support the Oculus rift, so the control layout is designed for the Vive controllers.

Hoping that now the Zenimax/Oculus lawsuit has been settled that this game will be updated to officially support the rift touch controllers.

Thanks for the information, I had no idea.

Doom vfr, fallout 4 vr and skyrim vr all have official oculus rift support and work fine with the touch controllers, Ive been playing them for months on the rift.

The plot thickens! Think I'll re-install steam and see if that fix's it. I did mess about installing some 3rd party software in a vain attempt to record game play (with friends looking daft in it!) it may have gone wrong after that...to make it worse I can't exactly remember what I installed! (I'm at work now so can't check)

It's always safer to never install anything, ever

Agree. However, it was a program via Steam so I assume it's well vetted...I'll find out what it is later and uninstall. Hopefully it'll be an easy fix...
