    • delete install directory

  • manually

• In Bindings the PTT has been moved to a new tab called system

New Features

• Rotation Tab feilen UI by ykeara

  • Auto-Turn - Automatically rotates you to allow you to walk in a single direction forever in games by rotating the world around you as you near walls.
    • optionally this feature will also try to direct you so that you will untangle your cord as well.
    • important - This feature does not handle playspaces with wall corners greater than 180 degrees well.
  • redirected - walking - Automatically steers you away from the edge of your play area by encouraging you to walk towards the middle of your play area.
    • Important - This requires a VERY large playspace to be imperceptible, its best use is for extending your perceived length of your play area slightly.

• Friction - when using Space Drag features. A value of 100% will bring the user to a full stop within roughly 1 second. The max value is 999% and min is 0%. Most useful values should be found within the range of 20%~80%. - kung

3.0.1

This Release Fixes a handful of bugs.

I would suggest upgrading to this build, and if your chaperone is Bugged to delete it by going to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\config (or where your steam is installed) and deleting the "chaperone_info.vrchap" file this is the chaperone save, and will force you to re-run room set-up.... in some cases room-setup won't correctly fix the issue.

Major bugs

• WMR and Rift users should now be able to properly use the motion controls
• Should also fix the chaperone getting permanently offset, when playing with room fix tab.

Temporary removal

• Chaperone height slider Temporarily disabled
• Undo fix (in room fix tab) is Temporarily disabled/removed

Minor Fix

• Fixes offset for knuckles/wands not being applied on floor fix.
