Steam VR 2.0 messes up VIVE controller visibility

Hi just followed the instructions but didn't see the VIVE controllers.
Figured out that Steam has updated the SteamVR plugin to facilitate the new knuckle controllers...

Have now the following error from Editor VR:

Assets/EditorVR/Scripts/Input/ViveInputToEvents.cs():error CS0103: The name 'SteamVR_Controller' does not exist in the current `context

Not being a programmer I need some advice here.
Cheers!

Hi, I am having the same problem, with the same error message. If anybody has any insight on how to solve this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Same issue, worked before the latest SteamVR update from the Unity asset store.

 

Same problem shows up when I import the XR editor package
EditorXR-0.1.1 (7).unitypackage
I'm using current version of unity 2018.2.5f1
windows 8
Error:

Assets/EditorVR/Scripts/Input/ViveInputToEvents.cs(63,40): error CS0103: The name `SteamVR_Controller' does not exist in the current context

 

I had the same problem. The 2.0 uses a new OpenVR controller scheme. You can download the old version here:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamvr_unity_plugin/releases

Additionally, I had to download textmesh pro from the asset store, not the package manager. I got this working in 2018.1

 

Having a similar issue, some of my older compiled Steam VR Unity projects, the controller isnt working. It just vibrates , you cant teleport and the controllers stay transparent. The strange thing is some of them do work that were made exactly the same way. These are basic visualization projects with just the prefab player, teleporting and some basic interactions.

Compiling with the new Unity Steam VR plugin does work (and shows the new hand 3d models too). I thought this was supposed to be backward compatible so I shouldnt have to recompile all my old projects?

 

having the same issue. EditorXR doesnt seem to be compatible with SteamVR 2.0. has anybody fixed it yet or found a workaround without using an older version of steamVR?

 

Currently, EditorXR does not support SteamVR 2.0. You have to use the old plugin for now:
