VR support

This game requires a virtual reality headset.

Headsets	State	Notes
SteamVR		Also native support for Valve Index and Valve Index Controllers.
Oculus VR (LibOVR)		With Steam version, game should automatically use Oculus SDK.^[1] However in case it doesn't, use `-hmd=oculushmd` launch parameter to force it.^[2]^[3]
Windows Mixed Reality

Devices
Tracked motion controllers
Traditional controller

Play area
Seated		Seated position is calibrated at the launch of the game. Press and hold button for menu to reset at any point.
Standing
Room-scale

Issues unresolved

Controls menu option doesn't work

SteamVR enviroment showing every time level is loading

Issues fixed

Incorrect controller instructions and prompts

If the game has trouble determining what controllers are in use, it will fall back on default ones, e.g. with SteamVR it will then show Vive controllers. Even though regular controllers are not supported, game still takes input from them and this can cause for this to happen.

Unplug or disable all controllers^[4]
If SteamVR is showing controller icon, close SteamVR. Unplug or disable all traditional game controllers. Open SteamVR and then launch the game.
