    Hello there,

    In my trail to start the development from scratch, I did the following steps.

    1. Downloaded latest steam VR (2.5.0 (sdk 1.8.19)) plugin to Unity (2019.1.8f1).
    2. Saved and Generated SteamVR Input.
    3. Dragged the Camera Rig to the scene.

    The Head Mounted Device is working fine. But the controller are not visible. The controller work fine outside unity.

    Unless Steam is running, you won't see them, that's what I experience. I think it is a bug, I did mention it in the SteamVR guthub but no feedback... anyone else ?

    @bdeschryver : Thanks for the reply.

    One of my friends had an older version f Steam VR plugin downloaded and saved.

    The controller are visible while using the older version of Steam VR.

    Guess lot of people are waiting for the next bug-free version of the Steam VR plugin.

    It seems having steam open or not does not matter (luckily!) after the build is made...
